... 80 Assessing, Coding, and Marking of Highway Structures in Emergency Situations: Research Overview Module and Title Estimated Duration Description Learning Objectives Module 1: Overview 30 min. Presents an introduction to the project and objectives; discusses the organization of the manual, coding and marking guidelines, and training materials.
From page 81...
... Training Materials and Recommendations 81 Table 7-2 presents a sample agenda and learning objectives for each of the modules. While some content is repeated from the managing engineer training, the notes, level of detail, and arrangement of the content has been adapted to better suit the needs of the PDARs.

... 82 Assessing, Coding, and Marking of Highway Structures in Emergency Situations: Research Overview Module 7: Fast Reconnaissance 15 min. Describes how to perform FR and tools available such as airborne imagery and crowdsourcing to help with effective, rapid reconnaissance.
From page 83...
... Training Materials and Recommendations 83 priorities. Workshops should be offered at least once a year for General Training and Managing Engineer Training and at least every 3 years for PDAR Training.
From page 84...
... 84 Assessing, Coding, and Marking of Highway Structures in Emergency Situations: Research Overview Another option that may help maintain the audience's attention is to have multiple instructors deliver the content. For example, in delivering the PDAR Training workshop, various managing engineers can present individual modules of the training or experienced attendees can be asked to deliver a portion of the content.
From page 85...
... Training Materials and Recommendations 85 The training modules developed are scalable and can be effective for both large and small groups. However it is recommended that the workshops be organized for groups of 20 to 30 at a time.
