This online engineering PDH course presents the advantages of composting toilets over other systems such as latrines, water-sealed toilets and septic systems. In addition, this course discusses the construction process and the type of materials for composting toilets used in Tonga, Kiribati and Fiji.
In places lacking modern toilets and sanitation, latrines are used as temporary storage for human waste. The latrines are often emptied into the nearest body of water, which may also serve as a water supply. Composting toilets can provide a sanitary method of waste treatment in areas without running water or electricity. One of their greatest advantages is that they can be built anywhere, and usually for low up-front costs, making them excellent choices in rural or remote areas and undeveloped areas.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to civil and mechanical engineers, aid workers and others involved in the planning or construction of projects in areas with limited sanitation infrastructure.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the steps in constructing foundation slabs, chambers, ET beds, toilet house floor slab, false door, and access door
- Understanding the operation and maintenance of Composting Toilet
- Familiarizing with technical drawings of Composting Toilet Construction
- Learning about the technical specifications of Composting Toilet Construction

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the principles of cathodic protection for underground and underwater structures. It discusses the physics and chemistry of the corrosion process and how to mitigate the corrosion using techniques to construct and maintain sacrificial anode and impressed current cathodic protection systems.
Cathodic protection is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. Cathodic protection systems protect a wide range of metallic structures in various environments. Common applications are: steel water or fuel pipelines and steel storage tanks; steel pier piles; ship and boat hulls; offshore oil platforms and onshore oil well casings; metal reinforcement bars in concrete buildings and structures. Another common application is in galvanized steel, in which a sacrificial coating of zinc on steel parts protects them from rust.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for professional engineers and construction managers wanting an introduction to the construction and maintenance of cathodic protection systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the factors to consider in constructing cathodic protection systems
- Learning the importance of pipeline coatings
- Learning about special considerations where pipeline casings are necessary
- Understanding the factors to consider when foreign pipeline crossings are encountered
- Learning about the proper techniques for installing electrical isolating flanges
- Learning about impressed current anode installations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the document titled, "An Introduction to Constructing and Maintaining Cathodic Protection Systems".
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 the entire document.

This online engineering PDH course provides information regarding the identification and treatment of corrosive attack on aircraft structures and engine materials.
Corrosion is the electrochemical deterioration of a metal because of its chemical reaction with a surrounding environment. While the aerospace industry is continuously developing new and better materials, progress is offset partly by a more aggressive operational environment and by the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon, which can take many different forms. The resistance of aircraft materials to corrosion can drastically change with only a small environmental change.
This 9 PDH online course is applicable to material, industrial and mechanical engineers, as well as aircraft operators, maintenance and repair personnel in addition to all others seeking a better understanding of the basics of corrosion in aircrafts.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the factors that cause corrosion
- Understanding the effects of corrosion
- Knowing which areas are prone to corrosion and the methods of prevention
- Learning the requirements for inspecting aircraft
- Learning corrosion removal techniques

This online engineering PDH course addresses the effects of thermal stress and thermal shock on a system. It explains how thermal stress and shock combined with pressure can cause major damage to components. This course also addresses ductile and brittle fracture. It describes how ductile and brittle fractures are affected by the minimum pressurization and temperature curves. It also explains the reason why heatup and cooldown rate limits are used when heating up or cooling down a system.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to structural and mechanical engineers, construction and personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of thermal stress and brittle fracture of materials.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Thermal stress
- Pressurized thermal shock
- Brittle fracture mechanism
- Minimum pressurization-temperature curves
- Heatup and cooldown rate limits
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Modules 3 and 4, "Thermal Stress and Brittle Fracture" of the Department of Energy Publication DOE-HDBK-1017/1-93, "Material Science".

This online engineering PDH course will establish the relationship between the actions of a licensing board for professional engineers and the Constitutional right of free speech.
This course discusses the background and findings of a legal case that arose when a state licensing board for professional engineers attempted to restrict the right of an engineer from speaking about a public safety issue. Actual legal documents and associated correspondence are discussed, and their implications analyzed.
The 1 PDH online course is intended for all registered professional engineers wanting to know about the relation between constitutionally protected free speech and the powers of a licensing board for professional engineers.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the value of free speech in discovering the best solution to technical problems
- Realizing the difference between protected and unprotected speech
- Knowing an example in which the actions of a PE licensing board was limited by the Constitutional right of free speech
- Familiarizing with the meaning of a board letter that announces the opening of an investigation
