MATHEMATICS REVIEW
For Road Engineering and Surveying
The Mathematics Review session is taught in Bozeman in January/February of each year. The course can be taken alone. However, if you take the Basic Road Design course, consider the Math Review course as well to get the most out of the BRD course.
To stretch budgets further, have the course taught at your site.
People Who Benefit From This Professional Development Program: · People who feel their mathematics skills are stale from lack of use · Individuals concerned about their mathematics background and ability · Upward mobility candidates who have an inadequate math background · Individuals who show good potential for advancement, but who also show math deficiencies · Entry level technicians who need to learn both applied mathematics in road work and the language of road way engineering
This Course will not be taught in 2008
Also at your site, on your dates!

Description:
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.
Objectives:
Those successfully completing this session will be able to: · perform the mathematics needed in road surveying and design · work problems using the techniques, formulas and concepts which they face as surveyors or designers · use the functions and features available on their calculators |
