Michigan Industrial and Ethics 30 PDH Discount Package 1

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 presents information about the conduct of radiological work in accordance with the department of energy regulations. The sections in this course focus on planning and preparation of radiological work, entry and exit requirements, radiological work controls, evaluation performance, special applications, as well as design and control.

DOE regulations for occupational radiation protection require written authorizations to control access to and work in radiological areas. The level of detail included in such authorizations is dependent upon facility hazards and the nature of the work force. Technical requirements for the conduct of work, including construction, modifications, operations, maintenance, and decommissioning, should incorporate radiological criteria to ensure safety and maintain radiation exposures as low as reasonably possible.

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 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 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 presents the regulations, policies and procedures for the safe use and handling of radioactive materials and radiation generating devices. It describes the effects of radiation and how to minimize the dangers present in a radiation filled environment.

Nuclear chemicals are present in many modern facilities. It is often harnessed as a cleaner source of energy than fossil fuels. However, the energy stored in these volatile chemicals may lead to many dangers. Consequently, it is very important to strictly regulate how to handle these chemicals in order to protect employees working in hazardous environments.

This engineering online PDH course will establish conditions under which, when an engineering failure has occurred, it can be attributed to negligence.    

Five causes of failure are proposed: negligence, rare failure mode, overlooked failure mode, new (previously unrecognized) failure mode, and incorrect assessment of a known risk. Negligence is the only cause that involves failing in an ethical duty.  These concepts are illustrated with five case studies of failures ranging from gross negligence to absolutely unforeseeable events: 1) the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919, for which a new possible cause was identified 95 years later (2014); 2) a building collapse in Bangladesh in which over 1,000 people died—one of the worst structural engineering disasters in history; 3) a meteorite strike of a private residence; 4) the crash of the British-French Concorde supersonic airliner, caused by an unlikely tire blow-out; and 5) radiation overdoses received by patients treated by the Thorac-25 medical linear accelerator, caused by errors in the software controlling the machine.
