This session concentrates on the mathematical processes and procedures used in road engineering and surveying. It is not a substitute for a road design or surveying session. The emphasis is on the mathematics not on the technology of design or surveying. The session is built around a workbook specifically written for this session. Topics are presented with enough theory to be believed but not enough to confuse the issue. Examples are presented with the participants doing the calculations. Several practice problems from the book reinforces the examples and give the participants a good degree of comfort with their abilities. They gain both skill and confidence with every step. Time is not of the essence. We have plenty of time to complete the work. The pace is set to meet the learning styles of the participants. Small session sizes (10 participants maximum) provide for extensive instructor -participant interaction. Math skills are dusted off, honed and polished. The skills are applied to the math techniques by examples and exercises. The techniques are applied to the tasks associated with design and survey. |

Math anxiety, the fear of mathematics, is extremely stressful to individuals and can be devastating to their careers. In addition, the lack of basic mathematics skills is a drain on their organization's productivity .It is a limiting factor in the growth and development of both the individuals and the organization for which they work. Imagine trying to play in a symphony orchestra if you couldn't read the music! Math anxiety is understood and can be dealt with successfully. REA provides solutions to the math anxiety problems that rob both human and dollar resources. REA deals with each person on an individual basis with high confidentiality at no charge. |

The Omnibus Trade Bill of 1989 set dates for the agencies of the United States Government to convert to the metric standard. All federal procurement contracts are specified in metric units. Industry is rapidly adopting metric units. Only one other nation on earth does not use metric units. Not using metric hurts U.S. foreign trade. And a little trivia; metric units are the only units protected by law in the United States. Its time that you converted. This training session is a great way for you to become a metric thinker . Enough background is provided to ensure participants are comfortable with the concept of metric units (most people fall in love with this easier system.) The background is followed up with real world applications in the conversion of fluid measures instead of gallons or cfs, weights and lengths. You'll meet and become familiar with the metric mathematics of your field of expertise. We provide each participant with several measurement tools including a metric contractor's tape for the use in the future. |
