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 provides general guidance to help business owners understand how to comply with the Department of Justice’s Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and the 2010 Standards, the design standards for accessible buildings.
The ADA applies to both the built environment and to policies and procedures that affect how a business provides goods and services to its customers. Using this guidance, small business owners or managers can ensure that they will not unintentionally exclude people with disabilities and will know when they need to remove barriers in existing facilities.
This 1 PDH online course is intended for engineers involved in the planning, design or operation of a small business.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding who is covered by the ADA
- Understanding the general non-discrimination requirements
- Learning how to make the built environment accessible
- Knowing how to assess a facility
- Training staff on ADA requirements
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “ADA Update: A Primer for Small Business,” March, 2011.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions to earn 1 PDH credit. The quiz will be based on this ADA publication.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on effective ergonomic interventions that help lower the physical demands of manual material handling (MMH) work.
Manual material handling work contributes to a large percentage of over half a million cases of musculoskeletal disorders reported annually in the United States. Musculoskeletal disorders often involve strains and sprains to the lower back, shoulders, and upper limbs. They can result in protracted pain, disability, medical treatment, and financial stress for those afflicted with them.
Effective ergonomic interventions can lower the physical demands of MMH work tasks, thereby lowering the incidence and severity of the musculoskeletal injuries they can cause. Their potential for reducing injury-related costs alone make ergonomic interventions a useful tool for improving a company’s productivity, product quality, and overall business competitiveness.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, managers and supervisors who are interested in learning more about ergonomic interventions that reduce the physical demands of manual material handling work.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basics of manual material handling
- Understanding the importance of improving the workplace
- Understanding the conditions associated with the development of injuries in manual material handling tasks
- Learning about the different types of ergonomic improvements
- Knowing easier ways to manually lift, lower, fill, or empty containers
- Exploring alternatives to the manual handling of individual containers

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
