Chemical and Florida Laws, Rules & Ethics 18 PDH Discount Package 2

This online engineering PDH course describes the chemical measures taken to retard the corrosion often found in water systems. It also addresses the consequences of radioactivity on facility cooling water systems.

Radiation synthesis is a process that takes place in the reactor coolant system. This phenomenon is limited to the reactor coolant system because of the high flux (radiation) levels that exist in the core region and further complicate chemistry control of the reactor plant.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to chemical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the reactor water chemistry.

This online engineering PDH course addresses the principles of ion exchange in the context of water purity. It also discusses typical water treatment methods and the basis for these methods.

Water treatment is necessary to remove the impurities that are contained in water as found in nature. Control or elimination of these impurities is necessary to combat corrosion, scale formation, and fouling of heat transfer surfaces throughout facility support systems.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to chemical and environmental engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the principles of water treatment.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on building field capabilities in order to respond to the contamination of drinking water. The course also provides planning and implementation guidance, templates, customizable report forms, and other documentation for Sampling and Analysis (S&A) activities.

When performed in response to possible or credible drinking water contamination, the goal of Sampling and Analysis (S&A) is to confirm or rule out contamination through field and laboratory testing. It is one of the earliest utility-led activities initiated when the utility has activated its drinking water contamination response plan and continues throughout remediation and recovery if contamination is confirmed.

This online engineering PDH course summarizes the application of algae as indicators of nutrient pollution in water quality management. It describes the use of algal indicators to develop water quality diagnostics for nutrient pollution in the United States (U.S.) and then reviews scientific developments in the use and application of algal indicators across the world.

Algae are ubiquitous and essential components of all stream ecosystems. They are the primary energetic source for many stream food webs, fixing carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, which is then transmitted through the web via consumer pathways.

Algae have a long history of use and possess many of the features valued in ecological indicators. They were part of the early saprobien indicator system development in Germany and were one of the first assemblages developed for use in biological assessment in the United States.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the sources of ozone depleting substances (ODS) in the United States and abroad and defines the best practices for the safe, environmentally sound collection, recovery, transport, and destruction of these substances. In addition, this course explains the challenges associated with the safe destruction of ODS and assesses the costs for the ODS waste management process.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol), finalized in 1987, is a global agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ODS.

While the global ODS phaseout is underway, a large amount of ODS is in equipment and products such as refrigerators and air conditioners (as refrigerant and foam blowing agent), foam contained in buildings, and fire protection systems and fire extinguishers, as well as in stockpiles held by countries and industrial and commercial users. Together these sources are referred to as ODS banks.

This online PDH course is a FL approved Engineering Laws, Rules and Ethics course and is being offered by Continuing Education and Development, Inc, a FL approved Continuing Education Provider (CEP No. 0004183).

The first part of this course begins with an overview of the Laws and Rules governing the practice of engineering in the State of Florida (Chapter 1) including:

• Florida Statutes, Chapter 455, “Department of Business and Professional Regulation”
• Florida Statutes, Chapter 471, “Engineering”
• Florida Administrative Code, 61G15, F.A.C., “Florida Board of Professional Engineers”

Then it continues to address the rules amended, adopted or otherwise repealed from 61G15, F.A.C. (Chapter 2) as well as the changes to Chapters 455, F.S. and 471, F.S. (Chapter 3), within the preceding biennium, as applicable.

The second part of this course presents engineering ethics and the principles of professional responsibility (Chapter 4). It further illustrates the application of Chapters 455 and 471, F.S. to a randomly selected set of ethical and disciplinary cases (Chapter 5).

This 2 PDH online engineering course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Florida and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in the Florida Laws, Rules and Ethics as a condition of license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete eighteen (18) professional development hours as follows:

• One hour must relate to this chapter and the rules adopted under this chapter;
• One hour must relate to professional ethics;
• Four hours must relate to the licensee’s area of practice; and
• The remaining hours may relate to any topic pertinent to the practice of engineering.
