Louisiana Civil, ADA and Ethics 15 PDH Discount Package 2

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the selection, proportioning and application of shotcrete as a construction material. It explains the dry-mix process in which most of the mixing water is added at the nozzle. It also explains the wet-mix process in which all of the materials are mixed before entering the delivery hose.

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning and design of structures using shotcrete.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on evaluating the condition of the concrete in a structure, relating the condition of the concrete to the underlying causes of that condition, and selecting an appropriate repair material and method for any deficiency found. A basic understanding of underlying causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to perform meaningful evaluations of concrete structures.

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to civil, geotechnical and structural engineers, as well as design and construction personnel working on construction projects involving evaluation and repair of concrete structures.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the reader to the essential methods for designing water efficient landscaping.

Providing an adequate supply of fresh water to our ever growing population is reaching a critical stage.  The World Bank reports that water shortages threaten the health and economy in 80 countries.  With dwindling supplies, the cost of this precious resource is bound to increase.  In response to the declining supply of fresh water, many conservation efforts have been focused within homes and businesses.  Efficiently managing our outdoor use of water can also yield a significant savings to our net water budget.

Designing water-wise landscapes can result in many benefits.  The conservation of our vital water supply is the most obvious.  Water saving landscapes can also decrease energy use, water bills, erosion, and maintenance costs. Some up front thoughts built into the design of landscaping features can save thousands of gallons of water in the long run.  Knowing the key design and maintenance considerations for low water use landscaping is essential for the successful conservation of our most precious resource.

This 1 PDH online course is intended for homeowners, practicing engineers, contractors, developers, regulators, and all other personnel involved with the design, installation, and maintenance of landscaped areas.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act as it applies to facility design.

For individuals with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act gives civil rights protections similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications. 

This 2 PDH online course is intended for all engineers involved in the design of facilities accessible to the public and regulated by the ADA.

This online engineering PDH course presents the main requirements for ADA compliance in the public right of way. Before PROWAG the ADA guidelines focused mainly on facilities on sites.  PROWAG is currently in its final public review and is scheduled to be adopted in 2012.  PROWAG addresses features common to public right of ways such as sidewalks, curb ramps, roadway crossings, and pedestrian crossing signals and on-street parking.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to civil engineers, construction managers, architects and inspectors who are involved with construction in the public right of way.

This online engineering PDH course will establish, through the presentation of many examples, the principles of distinguishing between a gift and a bribe.

The federal government has formulated detailed rules covering gifts given to executive-branch employees in many situations. The rules are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and are illustrated through many examples. Even though the examples are intended for government employees (many of whom are engineers), they also apply to private-sector engineers in similar situations. This course presents selected CFR examples that furnish guidance on the ethics of gift giving in situations that are especially relevant to engineers.
