Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to administrators, personnel officers, and others interested in methods for upgrading capabilities of DOT employees through training and development. Information is provided on programs and processes used by states for recruitment, training (both for new employees and for retraining of existing employees), and management and career development. High rates of retirement and a shrinking supply of civil engineering graduates mean that state DOTs need to expand and improve their professional staffs to meet an increasing workload. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the programs used by states to recruit new employees, train them, develop their capabilities, and provide management and career development opportunities.

The information was collected by surveying state DOTs and by conducting a literature search. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents background information on the changing role of specifications, quality assurance processes, warranties, material certifications, and personnel management regarding the state of the practice for state DOT management techniques for materials and construction acceptance. In addition, detailed information is presented on personnel issues. The details of materials test methods and statistical quality control procedures are not included in the report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to transportation agency administrators, especially human resources development managers and training personnel, as well as to the client staff and functional area managers who are responsible for maintaining and improving the level of productivity and quality control within the agency. It will also be of interest to consultants and other organizations that develop training programs for transportation agencies. It presents basic information on the subject of training evaluation and describes examples of practice in several transportation agencies. The overall process for analyzing needs for training, the current evaluation models or processes, and techniques for measuring the results of training are presented. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents discussions of several models and techniques used both within the transportation agencies and in other business settings for evaluating and measuring the effectiveness of training to both the individual and the agency affected. It describes the process of multilevel evaluation measures that begins with a needs analysis to determine desired outcomes of the training. This becomes more important as the training practice has evolved from the typical lecture style to more interactive participation.

Download or read book Highways An Architectural Approach written by Lester Abbey and published by Springer. This book was released on 1992-07-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is highway architecture? Who are the highway architects? Where do they practice? What is their role? WHAT IS HIGHWAY ARCHITECTURE? Highway architecture is a way of attempting to achieve the best of both worlds by shepherding a highway project from planning through design, construction, and operation. It is an approach to rebuilding our highway infrastructure, from a humanistic rather than strictly an engineering point of view. Continuity of purpose is the prime objective. A corollary goal is to make the highway an integral part of its setting. As now practiced, the building or rebuilding of anyone highway is partitioned, fragmented, and compartmentalized. Planners hand a concept to designers; design ers then prepare plans and specifications and pass their work on to construction people; construction people build the highway and turn it over to maintenance personnel. Rarely does one find continuity from planning to operation of a facility. WHO ARE THE HIGHWAY ARCHITECTS? Although it is unlikely that anyone hands out a business card with occupation listed as "Highway Architect," this does not mean that no one practices the profession. Highway architects are those people who share the responsibility for developing a highway project. True, the practice is quite limited, but site development entrepre neurs, rural county engineers, landscape architects, and consultants to smaller local governments often perform as highway architects. They take a project from concep tion to completion and are concened with how the local community will react to it.
