Asphalt Mix Design 101
We can help your team improve their understanding of asphalt mix designs — from aggregate and asphalt binder technician basics to mix design development and volumetric design.
Asphalt Volumetric Mix Design
Asphalt Volumetric Mix Design is a comprehensive course focusing on the principles and methodologies essential for developing effective asphalt mixtures. The curriculum encompasses a range of topics, including binder testing and specifications, aggregate properties and testing, volumetric analysis, moisture susceptibility testing, and performance testing for rut and crack resistance.
BATT + World Wide Walaa Inc.: Advanced Training in Pavement Engineering
Courses developed in collaboration with Professor Walaa Mogawer, Ph.D., P.E.
BATT Lab has joined forces with Dr. Walaa Mogawer, P.E., of the World Wide Walaa, Inc. to offer a series of advanced professional development courses focused on pavement design, preservation, and performance optimization.
Grounded in AASHTO TC3, NHI, ASCE, NAPA, and Asphalt Institute standards, each course bridges academic rigor with field-ready application—giving participants actionable tools to improve performance and extend pavement life.
Course Offerings
Asphalt Mixture Design
Learn how to select and proportion materials to achieve durable, balanced asphalt mixtures. Topics include Superpave principles, balanced mix design concepts, performance testing, and integration of recycled materials.
Pavement Preservation
Explore treatment selection, timing, and performance metrics that maximize lifecycle value. Emphasis is placed on preventive maintenance strategies and cost-effective asset management.
Introduction to Pavement Recycling
Understand the fundamentals of hot, warm, and cold recycling methods. This course highlights mix design considerations, project selection, and sustainability benefits for modern recycling techniques.
Improving Pavement Durability & Extending Service Life Expectancy
Examine factors influencing durability—from binder selection to environmental and traffic loading—and learn techniques to improve long-term pavement performance through materials optimization and construction quality control.
Pavement Management Systems: Integrating Pavement Preservation into Decision-Making
Gain insight into how performance data, condition surveys, and life-cycle cost analysis can guide maintenance prioritization. Learn how to incorporate preservation into your pavement management strategy to achieve measurable system-level improvements.
BATT asphalt experts can help your team succeed.
Whether it’s making sure your team stays safe in the lab or in the field, or whether they need to learn new asphalt mix design techniques, the BATT Team can provide training that can make a difference in how well your team performs.
Training can be performed at the BATT Lab or at your location, and all training courses can be tailored to fit the needs of your company or team. Customized courses can also be designed to fit any level of needed training.
Balanced Mix Design 101 and 102
Balanced Mix Design (BMD) is here to stay. Let the BATT team help you meet the challenges by providing a deeper understanding of BMD tests, what is required, how to reduce error, and ways/materials to improve your mix. Different materials can dramatically affect the behavior of the asphalt mix. Let BATT get you ready to meet specs.
Asphalt 101
Our Asphalt 101 courses are fast-paced training sessions that walk team members through aggregate, binder, mix, BMD, and more. Each topic is covered briefly to provide familiarity with asphalt mixture concepts. These courses are designed for team members who are new to asphalt, or for back-office staff members. They can also serve as a refresher course for seasoned employees, and each course can be tailored to the specific educational needs of your team.
