This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the different types of renewable energy systems and their benefits.
Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. It can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation. Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources that could get used up, such as fossil fuels like coal and oil. The advantages of renewable energy are numerous and affect the economy, environment, national security, and human health. The United States is a resource-rich country with abundant renewable energy resources. Renewable energy generates about 20% of all U.S. electricity, and that percentage continues to grow.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to energy engineers and other professionals who are interested in learning more about different renewable energy systems and their benefits.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the benefits of renewable energy
- Understanding the different types of renewable energy
- Learning the current state of renewable energy in the U.S.
- Gaining an overview of how each type of renewable energy works

This online engineering PDH course will investigate green roofs as an approach to control stormwater discharge and pollutant content. This course provides the data and background municipalities and private entities need to move forward with decisions to implement green roofs as a stormwater control technology, or best management practice (BMP).
Urban development has led to large areas of impervious surfaces such as parking lots and building roofs. Runoff from these areas is causing problems for many urban and suburban communities. Not only is total volume of wet weather flow (WWF) increased, but peak flow rates are also increased. Implementation of traditional stormwater BMPs in urban areas may not be practical in all circumstances due to limited available surface area and other concerns. Green roofs have been suggested as a means to reduce the stormwater impacts of development because they have been shown to both detain and retain stormwater. The purpose of this study is to quantify runoff reductions resulting from the use of extensive green roof systems.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to municipality owners and/or operators, construction contractors/workers, site developers, engineers, managers, and all other personnel involved in the stormwater runoff control field.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about the green roof effects on runoff quantity
- Learning about the green roof effects on runoff quality
- Learning about the different types of plants commonly used in green roofs
- Understanding the green roof plant and media management considerations
- Familiarizing with the cost and implementation associated with green roofs for stormwater runoff control

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance in new motor purchase decisions, and helps in identifying the energy and cost savings for motors that should be replaced with premium efficiency units.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) adopted a NEMA Premium® efficiency motor standard in August of 2001. A motor can be marketed as a NEMA Premium motor if it meets or exceeds a set of minimum full-load efficiency levels.
These premium efficiency motor standards cover the 1 horsepower (hp) to 500 hp three-phase low-voltage NEMA Design A and B general, special, and definite purpose induction motors that are in widespread use in U.S. industrial facilities. The energy savings from replacing in-service standard and energy efficient motors with premium efficiency motor models can be substantial.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about the performance, properties, selection and applications of premium efficiency motors.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the in-service motor population and motor uses in the industrial sector
- Understanding the evolution of voluntary and mandatory motor efficiency standards
- Learning how to evaluate motor efficiency opportunities, address application considerations, and determine cost-effectiveness
- Gaining an overview of currently available and emerging advanced “Super Premium” efficiency motor technologies
- Understanding the preventive and predictive maintenance activities necessary to keep premium efficiency motors operating at peak efficiency

This online PDH course is a FL approved Engineering Laws, Rules and Ethics course and is being offered by Continuing Education and Development, Inc, a FL approved Continuing Education Provider (CEP No. 0004183).
The first part of this course begins with an overview of the Laws and Rules governing the practice of engineering in the State of Florida (Chapter 1) including:
- Florida Statutes, Chapter 455, “Department of Business and Professional Regulation”
- Florida Statutes, Chapter 471, “Engineering”
- Florida Administrative Code, 61G15, F.A.C., “Florida Board of Professional Engineers”
Then it continues to address the rules amended, adopted or otherwise repealed from 61G15, F.A.C. (Chapter 2) as well as the changes to Chapters 455, F.S. and 471, F.S. (Chapter 3), within the preceding biennium, as applicable.
The second part of this course presents engineering ethics and the principles of professional responsibility (Chapter 4). It further illustrates the application of Chapters 455 and 471, F.S. to a randomly selected set of ethical and disciplinary cases (Chapter 5).
This 2 PDH online engineering course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Florida and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in the Florida Laws, Rules and Ethics as a condition of license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete eighteen (18) professional development hours as follows:
- One hour must relate to this chapter and the rules adopted under this chapter;
- One hour must relate to professional ethics;
