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 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 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 a fundamental understanding of reactor theory and neutron characteristics. It discusses basic topics such as neutron sources, neutron flux, neutron cross sections, reaction rates, neutron moderation, and prompt and delayed neutrons.

This 3 PDH 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 reactor theory.

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 online engineering PDH course, organized into three parts, presents information about the U.S. Department of Energy’s radiological standards.

Part 1 – Administrative Control Levels and Dose Limits. To accomplish DOE's objective of maintaining individual doses well below regulatory limits, challenging numerical administrative control levels should be established below the regulatory limits to administratively control and help minimize individual and collective radiation dose. These control levels should be multi-tiered with increasing levels of authority required to approve higher administrative control levels.

Part 2 – Contamination Control and Control Levels. Control of radioactive contamination is achieved by using engineered controls and worker performance to contain contamination at the source, reducing existing areas of contamination, and promptly decontaminating areas that become contaminated.

Part 3 – Posting. Radiological postings are intended to alert individuals to the presence of radiation and radioactive materials and to aid them in controlling exposures and preventing the spread of contamination. The types of postings required vary based on the application.

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.

In this online engineering PDH course, ten case studies of actual enforcement actions taken by a state licensing board are presented. The cases have been selected to be representative of situations likely to exist in many states.  Board procedures and the types of enforcement actions available are shown by a variety of cases ranging from a geotechnical engineer who produced (within one hour and without visiting the site) a soils report, to an engineer who was unable to document his PDH's during a board audit.  The importance of being very careful about when to put "P.E." after one's name on a document also will become apparent.

Codes of ethics for engineers typically describe standards for professional behavior. The enforcement of those ethical standards that are inscribed into law lies with the licensing boards of state governments.

This 1 PDH online course is intended primarily for all engineers seeking to deepen their understanding of what constitutes ethical and professional engineering behavior and how such behavior is enforced by the licensing board.
