Free Speech vs. Regulation of Professional Engineers (LE1-009)
This online engineering PDH course describes the technical and economic potential for introducing combined heat and power (CHP) systems to wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs), especially smaller WWTFs with influent flow rates of 1 to 5 MGD. The course also presents operational observations obtained through interviews with WWTF operators who have employed CHP.
Some of the key findings given in the course are that 1) CHP is a reliable, cost-effective option for WWTFs that have, or are planning to install, anaerobic digesters; 2) while many WWTFs have implemented CHP, the potential still exists to use more CHP, based on technical and economic benefits; 3) on a national scale, the technical potential for additional CHP at WWTFs is over 400 MW of biogas-based electricity generating capacity and approximately 38,000 MMBtu/day of thermal energy; and 4) translating CHP potential into actual successes requires an understanding of operational realities.
This 4 PDH online course is intended for engineers working as CHP project developers, WWTF operators and state and local government policy makers.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Overview of CHP and its benefits at WWTFs
- Market for WWTFs with CHP
- Technical potential for CHP at WWTFs
- Economic potential for CHP at WWTFs
- First-hand observations gathered through interviews of WWTF operators regarding the benefits and challenges of CHP
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Using Combined Heat and Power at Wastewater Treatment Facilities” which is based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency document, “Opportunities for Combined Heat & Power at Wastewater Treatment Plants: Market Analysis and Lessons from the Field,” produced by the Environmental Protection Agency Combined Heat and Power Partnership, October, 2011.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty five (25) questions to earn 5 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on this EPA publication.

This online engineering PDH course outlines essential steps for characterizing wastewater flow and composition and provides a framework for establishing and measuring performance requirements. It also describes methods for establishing and ensuring compliance with wastewater treatment performance requirements that protect human health, surface waters, and ground water resources. Furthermore, it describes the characteristics of typical domestic and commercial wastewaters and discusses approaches for estimating wastewater quantity and quality for residential dwellings and commercial establishments.
In addition, this course identifies the pollutants of concern in wastewaters and discusses the fate and transport of these pollutants in the receiving environment. It also presents the various technical approaches for establishing performance requirements for onsite systems, based on risk and environmental sensitivity assessments. Finally, it discusses performance monitoring to ensure sustained protection of public health and water resources.
This 8 PDH online course is applicable to civil, and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning, selection and design of subsurface wastewater infiltration systems.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the selection process of the subsurface wastewater infiltration system. It describes various steps involved in the selection process including understanding of the prevailing design conditions, matching these conditions to system performance, establishing design boundaries and boundary loadings, evaluating the receiving environment and mapping out the site.
Selecting the appropriate system type, size, and location at the site depends on the wastewater flow and composition information, site- and landscape-level assessments, performance requirements, and the array of available technology options. Key to selecting, sizing, and siting the system are identifying the desired level of performance and ensuring that the effluent quality at the performance boundaries meets the expected performance requirements.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to civil, and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning, selection and design of subsurface wastewater infiltration systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Evaluating design conditions and selecting the appropriate system
- Matching design conditions to system performance
- Establishing design boundaries and boundary loadings
- Evaluating the receiving environment
- Mapping the site
- Developing the initial system design
- Rehabilitating and upgrading existing systems
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 5 of the USEPA Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Manual, EPA/625/R-00/008, "Treatment System Selection".

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
- Understanding the meaning and use of a Notice to Impose a Civil Penalty
- Understanding the significance of working outside the context of an employment or contractual relationship
