This online engineering PDH course presents the advantages of composting toilets over other systems such as latrines, water-sealed toilets and septic systems. In addition, this course discusses the construction process and the type of materials for composting toilets used in Tonga, Kiribati and Fiji.

In places lacking modern toilets and sanitation, latrines are used as temporary storage for human waste. The latrines are often emptied into the nearest body of water, which may also serve as a water supply. Composting toilets can provide a sanitary method of waste treatment in areas without running water or electricity. One of their greatest advantages is that they can be built anywhere, and usually for low up-front costs, making them excellent choices in rural or remote areas and undeveloped areas.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to domestic water treatment. It includes basic information on most of the common water treatment processes for treating domestic water supplies to meet regulatory and best practices requirements.

Treatment consists of adding and/or removing substances from water so as to bring about a desired change in quality. In general, treatment is provided to protect public health or to improve the acceptability (aesthetic quality) of the finished product.

This 2 PDH online course is intended for civil and environmental engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to domestic water treatment.

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the techniques and methods for treating makeup water used in industrial water systems.

Many installations use fresh water and, often, potable water. Makeup water, often referred to as "makeup," is fresh water that is added to an industrial water system to replace water lost by blowdown, evaporation, wind drift, leaks, steam, humidification, or withdrawal from these systems. The usual source of makeup water is the installation's potable water supply. This source is water that has been conditioned and is usually of a very uniform quality from day to day. Other sources of makeup water could include groundwater obtained from shallow or deep wells, or surface water from streams or holding ponds. These sources are not treated to the extent that the potable water source is treated. Still another source is reuse water (i.e., water that is "used" and reclaimed and not rated as potable).

This 3 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers, civil engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to makeup water and makeup water treatment for industrial water systems.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on building field capabilities in order to respond to the contamination of drinking water. The course also provides planning and implementation guidance, templates, customizable report forms, and other documentation for Sampling and Analysis (S&A) activities.

When performed in response to possible or credible drinking water contamination, the goal of Sampling and Analysis (S&A) is to confirm or rule out contamination through field and laboratory testing. It is one of the earliest utility-led activities initiated when the utility has activated its drinking water contamination response plan and continues throughout remediation and recovery if contamination is confirmed.

This engineering online PDH course contains a discussion of, and an example calculation of, the density and viscosity of a specified gas at a given temperature and pressure. In this course, the Redlich Kwong equation will be used for calculation of the compressibility factor of a gas. The Sutherland formula will be discussed and used in example calculations. Another method for calculating the viscosity of air at a specified temperature and pressure will also be presented and discussed.

The density and/or viscosity of a gas is often needed for some other calculation, such as pipe flow or heat exchanger calculations. If the gas temperature is high relative to its critical temperature and the gas pressure is low relative to its critical pressure, then it can be treated as an ideal gas and its density can be calculated at a specified temperature and pressure using the ideal gas law.  If the density of a gas is needed at a temperature and pressure at which it cannot be treated as an ideal gas law, however, then the compressibility factor of the gas must be calculated and used in calculating its density. The Sutherland formula can be used to calculate the viscosity of a gas at a specified temperature and pressure if the Sutherland constants are available for the gas.   

This 2 PDH online course is intended for chemical, mechanical and environmental engineers. After completing this course, you will have knowledge about methods for calculating the density and viscosity of a gas at specified temperature and pressure. 

This online engineering PDH course provides an introduction to the design, construction and process control considerations for microbiological and corrosion control in cooling water systems.

Microbiological organisms are composed of three classes: algae, bacteria, and fungus. Large biological organisms such as clams, snails, mussels, or similar species are referred to as macrobiological organisms. The presence of any biological growth can be detrimental to cooling tower operations. Problems include fouling, corrosion, and loss of efficiency. These problems can lead to downtime, higher operating cost, and even premature replacement of equipment. Additionally, some bacteria are pathogenic and can pose a risk to human life. To alleviate these problems, proper implementation of microbiological and corrosion control measures in cooling water systems is imperative.

This 2 PDH online course is intended for civil, environmental and sanitary engineers as well as other design and construction professionals interested in learning about microbiological and corrosion control in cooling

This online engineering PDH course describes the basics about ozone treatment of cooling towers as a "new technology". Cost benefits of using ozone in treatment of cooling tower water, application considerations, maintenance issues, utility initiatives, performance of cooling tower and laboratory versus case study perspectives are discussed.

The form of oxygen known as ozone has been recognized for nearly a century for its powerful ability to disinfect water.  Cooling tower water must be treated to limit the growth of mineral and microbial deposits that can reduce the heat transfer efficiency of the cooling tower. The use of ozone to treat water in cooling towers is a relatively new practice that is increasing in popularity, and it has good potential for use in commercial building systems.

This online engineering PDH course addresses the principles of ion exchange in the context of water purity. It also discusses typical water treatment methods and the basis for these methods.

Water treatment is necessary to remove the impurities that are contained in water as found in nature. Control or elimination of these impurities is necessary to combat corrosion, scale formation, and fouling of heat transfer surfaces throughout facility support systems.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to chemical and environmental engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the principles of water treatment.

This online engineering PDH course describes the chemical measures taken to retard the corrosion often found in water systems. It also addresses the consequences of radioactivity on facility cooling water systems.

Radiation synthesis is a process that takes place in the reactor coolant system. This phenomenon is limited to the reactor coolant system because of the high flux (radiation) levels that exist in the core region and further complicate chemistry control of the reactor plant.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to chemical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the reactor water chemistry.

This online engineering PDH course presents the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Nevada.

Excerpts from Chapter 625 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Nevada Administrative Code which relate to the rules of professional conduct, prohibited acts, as well as disciplinary and other pertinent regulatory provisions are presented in this course.

Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

Since engineers are faced with frequent moral and ethical dilemmas while practicing their engineering profession, this course will provide engineers with moral and ethical guidance in their decision making process. Most importantly, it will provide engineers with insight on how to conduct, respect and protect their engineering practice with the utmost professionalism.
