This online course presents math instruction for maintenance technicians in context. Instead of solving abstract math problems, participants will immerse themselves in typical maintenance technician roles and learn how to approach math problems as they would in the real world.
The self-paced course is part of the Math Basics for Highway Technicians series, which offers participants with a wide range of situations requiring everything from basic arithmetic calculations to using complex formulas. It is offered by AASHTO via the TC3 course management system. Students are required to complete the course within one year of their registration.
