This student guide, one of a series of correspondence training courses designed to improve the job performance of members of the Marine Corps, deals with the skills needed by engineer equipment chiefs. Addressed in the five individual units of the course are the following topics: construction management (planning, scheduling, and supervision); estimation of equipment efficiency (equipment utilization, efficiency factors, crawler-tractor applications, tractor/scraper applications, road graders, and crane-shovels); construction sites; maintenance systems (maintenance support, maintenance shops, shop layout); and support functions (engineer and supply support). Each unit contains a general objective, a series of work units each addressing a different subobjective, study questions, and answers to the study questions. (MN)
