Evaluation of Air Force Civil Engineering Construction Inspection and the Inspector

摘要

This thesis is an investigation on the present posture of Air Force construction inspection with particular emphasis on examining the construction inspector. A similar investigation was conducted in the early 1970's by the American Society of Civil Engineers and found that throughout the construction industry the most common problem was incompetent inspectors. This research is directed toward determining if the same situation exists within today's Air Force and what are the major construction inspection problems. The four research objectives were 1) Determine the general perception of A.F. construction inspector's job performance, 2) Identify and compare the desired and actual job knowledge of the inspector, 3) Analyze A.F. training program's for the inspector, and 4) Analyze A.F. qualification requirements for the inspector.
