Louisiana Materials, ADA and Ethics 15 PDH Discount Package 3

This online engineering PDH course provides information regarding the identification and treatment of corrosive attack on aircraft structures and engine materials.

Corrosion is the electrochemical deterioration of a metal because of its chemical reaction with a surrounding environment. While the aerospace industry is continuously developing new and better materials, progress is offset partly by a more aggressive operational environment and by the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon, which can take many different forms. The resistance of aircraft materials to corrosion can drastically change with only a small environmental change.

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on Positive Material Identification testing method.

Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a method that engineers or technicians use to verify that supplied materials used in manufactured parts are conform to proper standards and specifications. Positive Material Identification is used in mining, jewelry analysis, manufacturing, and in the refining industry to prevent material mismatches. An accident at the BP Texas City refinery on July 28, 2005 demonstrated how material mismatches can be catastrophic. Therefore, The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board recommended PMI to prevent improper substitutions of alloys in hazardous process systems.

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 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 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.
