  • Abstract:
    The current profession of civil engineering often focuses education and training on code compliance rather than constructability and ; construction techniques. Also, it is well accepted that it takes a decade or more for engineers to develop a high-level project construction ; understanding, that and many state departments of transportation rely on in-field training for entry-level inspectors, with little or no ; education provisions for contractors. This research investigated the use of time-lapse photography to develop training and education ; material that will improve the understanding of project construction and crucial quality control specifications of an entry-level engineer, ; contractor, or inspector. Overall, the project team has deployed more than 160 time-lapse cameras to capture and document various ; construction activities since the project inception in May 2015 on over 25 construction sites throughout the state of Indiana. ; This document uses time-lapse photography and other media forms to monitor construction projects such as roadway construction on ; US 31 in Carmel and Westfield, construction of mechanically stabilized earth walls, roundabout construction, and bridge demolition in ; West Lafayette and Cedar Grove in order to develop educational and training materials for engineering students, construction inspectors, ; and contractors. ; This is accomplished in this document through construction case studies, time-lapse images, YouTube videos, and references to relevant ; INDOT Standard Specifications. Additionally, the project team has acquired quantitative data on the effectiveness of utilizing time-lapse ; photography to better educate in a classroom setting. The project team discovered that time-lapse photography did indeed enhance the ; lecture and following its use, students showed improvement.
