Delaware Chemical and Ethics 24 PDH Discount Package 1

This online engineering PDH course explains why certain chemicals are considered hazardous to personnel working in facilities containing such chemicals. It also provides an overview of handling chemicals as well as provides resources of information about these chemicals.

The various chemicals found in our industry as well as the home are useful when properly applied. If the user is uninformed about correct applications, storage, and potential hazards, these chemicals can become threats to our safety.

This 5 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 hazards of chemicals and gases.

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 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 addresses the identification of the chemicals to be classified; explains the process of data collection and describes the process and information needed for data analysis. Furthermore, this course presents information on the rationale used to develop the classification of the various hazards.

OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is designed to protect against chemical-source injuries and illnesses by ensuring that employers and workers are provided with sufficient information to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control chemical hazards and take appropriate protective measures. The purpose of the Hazard Communication Standard is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified, and that the information on the hazardous chemicals is transmitted to employers and workers.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the techniques and methods for treating makeup water used in industrial water systems.

Many installations use fresh water and, often, potable water. Makeup water, often referred to as "makeup," is fresh water that is added to an industrial water system to replace water lost by blowdown, evaporation, wind drift, leaks, steam, humidification, or withdrawal from these systems. The usual source of makeup water is the installation's potable water supply. This source is water that has been conditioned and is usually of a very uniform quality from day to day. Other sources of makeup water could include groundwater obtained from shallow or deep wells, or surface water from streams or holding ponds. These sources are not treated to the extent that the potable water source is treated. Still another source is reuse water (i.e., water that is "used" and reclaimed and not rated as potable).

This 3 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, civil engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to makeup water and makeup water treatment for industrial water systems.

This online engineering PDH course addresses the basics of chemistry. It introduces concepts on the atomic structure of matter. It also discusses the periodic table and the significance of the information in a periodic table. Furthermore, it explains chemical bonding, the laws of chemistry, and chemical equations.

This 5 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 basics of chemistry.

This online engineering PDH course presents the laws of professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Delaware, as well as the Delaware engineering code of ethics as follows:

• Delaware Professional Engineers' Act: Title 24, Chapter 28
• Delaware Engineering Code of Ethics

Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Delaware and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal.

Every licensee is required to obtain the equivalent of 12 PDHs per year (or 24 PDHs obtained anytime during the renewal period). Of the 24 PDHs earned during the biennial renewal period: no less than 2 PDH and no more than 6 PDH shall be related to professional ethics, and no more than 9 PDH shall be related to business or project management. The balance shall be related to the licensee’s area of technical practice.
