ABSTRACT

This one-day course generally consists of a combination of lecture, discussion and high impact small team exercises. The exercises are designed to synthesize the information covered in each topic. The performance criteria writing practical exercises will be developed around an upcoming ODOT project. The case study is drawn from my archive and highlights the specific issue of developing criteria that promote multiple solutions that all comply with project technical constraints. The seminar will encourage open discussion of local “hot button” issues to afford an opportunity to air those concerns during the course and discuss them in an objective, dispassionate fashion in an effort to reach a collective resolution to each specific issue that arises.
