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 PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning the different types of shotcrete and its applications
- Knowing the types and properties of material used in shotcrete
- Understanding the dry- and wet-mixing and proportioning process
- Understanding the pre-construction testing and evaluation process
- Placing, finishing and curing of shotcrete
- Maintaining and repairing surface defects of shotcrete
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the U.S. Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-2-2005, "Standard Practice for Shotcrete".

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on details of concrete curing practice as they pertain to construction of Portland cement concrete pavements. It is organized around the major events in curing pavements: curing immediately after placement (initial curing), curing during the period after final finishing (final curing), and termination of curing and evaluation of effectiveness of curing.
Curing has long been recognized as an important process in constructing durable concrete pavements. Proper curing allows the concrete to develop its potential strength and durability. Inadequate curing can result in surface damage in the form of plastic shrinkage cracking, spalling, and erosion of paste. Since many variables influence the choice of curing materials and when and how to apply curing, the material presented places particular emphasis on attention to details with respect to moisture retention and concrete temperature control.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the design and installation of concrete pavements.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Selection of curing materials and procedures
- Analysis of concrete properties and jobsite conditions
- Knowing how to adjust the curing practice to account for specific project conditions
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the Federal Highway Administration Publication FHWA-RD-02-099, "Guide for Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements".

This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of the occurrence and movement of groundwater. Procedures for planning and managing a site characterization and modeling study are then presented. This is followed by chapters addressing the technical aspects of field investigative methods and computer modeling. A final chapter discussing the interaction of groundwater and surface water is then presented.
Since it is not possible to provide specific instructions and/or specific procedures that are universally applicable to every situation that may be encountered, this course emphasizes the use of sound judgment and the development of a good understanding of basic groundwater concepts rather than providing specific guidelines.
This 9 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the study and analysis of groundwater flow.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Occurrence and movement of groundwater
- Planning a groundwater investigation and modeling study
- Field investigative methods
- Computer modeling of groundwater flow
- Interaction between surface water and groundwater
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the US Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-2-1421, "Groundwater Hydrology".

This online engineering PDH course will enable you to calculate peak storm water runoff rate using the Rational Method equation in either U.S. or S.I. units, including determination of runoff coefficient, calculation of time of concentration, and determination of design rainfall intensity. It will also prepare you for the use of Excel spreadsheets to efficiently make the calculations.
Calculation of peak storm water runoff rate from a drainage area is often done with the Rational Method equation (Q = CiA). Use of Excel spreadsheets for calculations with this equation and for determination of the design rainfall intensity and the time of concentration of the drainage area, are included in this course. The parameters in the equations are defined with typical units for both U.S. and S.I. units.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable primarily to civil engineers, hydraulic engineers, highway engineers, and environmental engineers, design professionals, technical and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the rational method hydrologic calculations using Excel.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Knowing the parameters and their U.S. and S.I. units to be used in the Rational Method equation
- Ability to calculate peak storm water runoff rate with the Rational Method equation, using either U.S. or S.I. units
- Ability to place a given soil into one of the four SCS soil groups based on its measured minimum infiltration rate
- Ability to place a given soil into one of the four SCS soil groups based on its description
- Ability to determine a value of the Rational Method runoff coefficient based on land use, soil group, and slope of the watershed
- Ability to calculate the overland sheet flow travel time for a watershed using the Manning Kinematic equation
- Ability to calculate the shallow concentrated flow travel time for a watershed using the NRCS method
- Ability to calculate the open channel flow travel time for a watershed using the Manning equation
- Knowing the form of the equation used for rainfall intensity as a function of storm duration for a specified return period
- Familiarity with methods for using Excel spreadsheets to make the different types of calculations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document tilted, "Rational Method Hydrologic Calculations with Excel".

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.
This 1 PDH online course is intended for engineers seeking guidance on distinguishing between ethical gift-giving and bribery.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with definitions of a bribe and a gift
- Knowing the bribe status of a gift based on a personal relationship
- Understanding the conditions under which gifts to spouses are acceptable
- Knowing the need to avoid even the appearance of a gift being a bribe
- Recognizing when gifts involving free attendance at meetings and conferences are acceptable
- Understanding the importance of the cumulative effect of receiving even small gifts on a periodic basis
- Learning the importance of gifts received when on assignment rather than outside of work
