This online engineering PDH course presents ethics guidelines for engineers. The guidelines have been developed for everyday use by engineers as they encounter common situations in their jobs. The course is based on an ASCE document adapted from a standards-of-business-conduct document developed by a private company. Thus the course is useful not only to civil engineers but also to engineers in other fields.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for all engineers who are interested in gaining a better understanding about how to protect and respect their engineering profession in the utmost manner.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
-
Understanding precise definitions of key terms such as "conflict of interest", "whistleblowing" and "confidential and proprietary information"
-
Understanding the fifteen guidelines for professional conduct, including for example relations to clients, obligations to the public, outside employment, bribes and kickbacks, gifts, and harassment
-
Understanding the ethical decision-making process based on 1) policies (of the employer or other relevant organization), 2) the law, 3) universally recognized values, and 4) the engineer's personal values
In this online engineering PDH course, you need to review the course document "Ethics Guidelines for Professional Conduct" published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) on January 2008. This course document is reproduced by permission of the ASCE (www.asce.org), and may be downloaded from the ASCE's website by clicking on Ethics Guidelines for Professional Conduct, or by clicking on the link below.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions to earn 2 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on this ASCE publication.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)

This online engineering PDH course describes the required procedures to be followed when generating, storing, transporting, or disposing of hazardous waste. This course also provides guidelines on how to keep it out of landfills by reducing its volume, reusing it, and recycling it. Several successful case studies of recycling demolition materials are presented.
Any company involved with building-construction, demolition, or renovation creates construction and demolition (C&D) debris. This debris can consist of three types of waste: (1) inert or non-hazardous waste; (2) hazardous waste as regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); and (3) items that contain hazardous components that might be regulated by some states.
This 3 PDH online course is intended primarily for civil, environmental and structural engineers as well as construction personnel and facility managers who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the EPA guidelines revolving around handling construction and demolition waste.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
-
Federal definition of hazardous waste
-
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
-
The three categories of hazardous waste generators
-
The four lists of hazardous wastes
-
The four characteristics of hazardous wastes
-
Hazardous waste codes
-
Typical RCRA wastes in C&D debris
-
Managing C&D debris containing mercury, lead, and asbestos
-
Hazardous waste requirements checklist for construction
-
Life cycle of a typical renovation/construction waste
-
Methods for reducing the amount of waste generated
-
Managing oil and tires waste
-
Other environmental laws affecting the construction industry
-
Reduction, reuse, and recycling of C&D materials: ideas and examples
-
Benefits to C&D recycling
-
