Recently, the oklahoma department of transportation (odot) has adopted statistically based quality control and quality assurance (qc-qa) specifications for their highway construction projects. In response to training needs, odot entered into an agreement with the school of civil engineering at oklahoma state university to develop and implement a qc-qa training program. The program consists of seven instruction modules that cover different aspects of construction methods, process control, and acceptance sampling and testing procedures.The development, organization, implementation, and evaluation of the qc-qa training program are described. The new specifications are briefly reviewed. This paper appears in transportation research record no. 1282, Transportation construction 1990.
