It is envisioned that each Condition Assessment Report will be approximately 25-35 pages in length, typed, double spaced, and stapled. Personnel Qualifications includes the following: 1. The Principle Investigator is responsible for all aspects of these Condition Assessment Reports. The Principle Investigator must have a Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering, structural engineering, architecture or equivalent degree from an accredited college or university, and demonstrated experience in the field of maritime preservation. 2.
