| Abstract | In recent years, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has been facing a shortage of Construction Engineering (CE) staff due to workforce challenges such as staff turnover, retirement of experienced staff, and hiring freezes. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate CE staff needs for TxDOT construction projects. To accomplish this, projects constructed during the 10-year period of 2001-2011 were analyzed. The results indicated that large and metro projects tend to require more CE staff hours compared to smaller and/or rural projects. In particular, capacity-adding projects such as interchanges and widening projects require up to 4.45 times the CE hours needed for pavement projects. This study’s findings provide a basis for estimating TxDOT’s CE staffing, and ultimately contribute to efficiency improvements by providing an appropriate level of CE staff based on project type, size, and location. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
