This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of instrumentation and control necessary for safe operation and maintenance of energy facilities and their support systems. In particular, this course describes the principles of operation for control systems used in evaluating and regulating changing conditions in a process.

This 5 DH online course is applicable to industrial and nuclear engineers, construction and design personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of process controls.

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of instrumentation and control necessary for safe operation and maintenance of energy facilities and their support systems. In particular, this course describes the principles of construction, operation, and failure modes for various types of detectors including temperature detectors, pressure detectors, level detectors, flow and position indicators.

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical, industrial and nuclear engineers, construction and design personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of detector applications.

This online engineering PDH course presents a discussion of the general, architectural and structural considerations applicable to the design of hydroelectric power plant structures. It is intended for guidance on establishing minimum criteria in the planning and design of such structures.

The engineering of hydroelectric projects is a highly specialized filed, particularly the engineering design and operational activities. 

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 hydroelectric power plant structures.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance about the selection process for snow removal and ice control equipment.

The selection process involves three components: identifying the type of equipment for a specific task, determining the number of such equipment, and using the recommended equipment specification to better ensure that the equipment performs the required task.

Airport operators should maintain runways and taxiways if possible, to a “no worse than wet” condition during winter storms. To meet this challenge, the purchase of snow and ice control equipment will not only require significant financial commitments, but also require careful planning and a fundamental understanding of snow and removal equipment.

This online engineering PDH course, organized into three parts, presents information about the U.S. Department of Energy’s radiological standards.

Part 1 – Administrative Control Levels and Dose Limits. To accomplish DOE's objective of maintaining individual doses well below regulatory limits, challenging numerical administrative control levels should be established below the regulatory limits to administratively control and help minimize individual and collective radiation dose. These control levels should be multi-tiered with increasing levels of authority required to approve higher administrative control levels.

Part 2 – Contamination Control and Control Levels. Control of radioactive contamination is achieved by using engineered controls and worker performance to contain contamination at the source, reducing existing areas of contamination, and promptly decontaminating areas that become contaminated.

Part 3 – Posting. Radiological postings are intended to alert individuals to the presence of radiation and radioactive materials and to aid them in controlling exposures and preventing the spread of contamination. The types of postings required vary based on the application.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for implementing specific controls over radioactive materials in accordance with the department of energy regulations DOE-STD-1098-2017.

The information presented in this course focuses on radioactive material identification, storage, control, release, transportation, and waste management. These measures should be implemented by affected line managers, workers, and support staff to ensure proper fulfillment of their radiological control responsibilities.

This online engieering PDH course provides instruction in engineering ethics through a case study of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The minimum technical details needed to understand the physical cause of the Shuttle failure are presented. The disaster itself is chronicled through NASA photographs. Next the decision-making process, especially the discussions occurring during the teleconference held on the evening before the launch, is described. Direct quotations from engineers interviewed after the disaster are used to illustrate the ambiguities of the data and the pressures that the decision-makers faced in the months and hours preceding the launch. The course culminates in an extended treatment of six ethical issues raised by Challenger.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for all engineers who are interested in gaining a better understanding about the ethical issues that lead to the Challenger disaster and how they could have been avoided.
