Tennessee Electrical & Health/Safety/Welfare 24 PDH Discount Pkg 2

This online engineering PDH course introduces basic electrical concepts. It starts by explaining the concept of the electrostatic force and the first law of electrostatics. It defines the basic electrical terminology and its corresponding units of measure. It continues to describe the methods of producing electricity. It also describes the principle of magnetism and magnetic circuits. Finally it provides a list of basic electrical symbols used to read and interpret electrical system diagrams and schematics.

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the theory of electricity.

This online engineering PDH course provides OSHA guidance on controlling electrical hazards for protecting workers from exposure to electrical hazards.

Electricity has been long recognized as a serious workplace hazed, exposing employees to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires and explosions. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, many workers have died from electrocutions at work, accounting for as many as 5% of all on-the-job-fatalities in a given year. What makes these statistics more tragic is that most of these fatalities could have been easily avoided.

OSHA recognizes that electrical hazards present serious hazards to all workers involved. Therefore, OSHA developed several standards for Controlling Electrical Hazards to protect employees working in the construction industry from exposure to electrical hazards.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to employers, building owners, engineers, electricians, managers, construction workers and any other personnel working on construction projects that involve exposure to electrical hazards.

This online engineering PDH course describes basic electrical distribution systems including system components and protection devices. It also presents the characteristics of system design, such as circuit breakers, motor controllers, wiring schemes and grounding, to ensure personnel and equipment safety.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of electrical distribution systems.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the rules associated with the reactive components of inductance and capacitance and how they affect DC circuits. It also introduces batteries and describes the types of cells used, circuit arrangements, and associated hazards. This course further describes the types of DC generators and their application in terms of voltage production and load characteristics. Finally, it illustrates the types of DC motors and includes discussions of speed control, applications, and load characteristics.

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and computer engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the basics of DC systems.

This online engineering PDH course presents the main requirements for ADA compliance in the public right of way. Before PROWAG the ADA guidelines focused mainly on facilities on sites.  PROWAG is currently in its final public review and is scheduled to be adopted in 2012.  PROWAG addresses features common to public right of ways such as sidewalks, curb ramps, roadway crossings, and pedestrian crossing signals and on-street parking.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to civil engineers, construction managers, architects and inspectors who are involved with construction in the public right of way.

This online engineering PDH course provides general guid­ance to assist State and local governments in understanding and complying with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) require­ments.

The Department of Justice revised its regulations implementing the ADA in September 2010. The new rules clarify issues that arose over the previous 20 years and contain new requirements, including the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards).

This 1 PDH online course is intended for engineers employed by State or local governments.

This online engineering PDH course addesses Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) types, selection and training, as well as conducting a hazard assessment of the workplace.

Hazards exist in every workplace in many different scenarios: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. Controlling a hazard at its source is the best way to protect employees. Depending on the hazard or workplace conditions, OSHA recommends the use of engineering or work practice controls to manage or eliminate hazards to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, OSHA developed the Personal Protection Equipment Standard to protect employees from workplace hazards that can cause injury.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to all engineers, employers, building owners, facility managers, and all personnel working on construction projects.

This online engieering PDH course provides instruction in engineering ethics through a case study of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The minimum technical details needed to understand the physical cause of the Shuttle failure are presented. The disaster itself is chronicled through NASA photographs. Next the decision-making process, especially the discussions occurring during the teleconference held on the evening before the launch, is described. Direct quotations from engineers interviewed after the disaster are used to illustrate the ambiguities of the data and the pressures that the decision-makers faced in the months and hours preceding the launch. The course culminates in an extended treatment of six ethical issues raised by Challenger.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for all engineers who are interested in gaining a better understanding about the ethical issues that lead to the Challenger disaster and how they could have been avoided.

In this online engineering PDH course, background on the philosophical models that guide ethical behavior is discussed and then applied to specific situations in engineering codes of ethics. This course is based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Professional Practice Curriculum, Volume 8, Section: Engineering Ethics.

Many engineering organizations have drafted codes of ethics to which their members are required to commit.  Generally, these codes are quite similar and are based on a few fundamental principles which provide guidance to professional engineers in common situations. Nevertheless, there are many difficult or ambiguous situations in which the best ethical solution is difficult to determine.

This 2 PDH online course is intended primarily for engineers seeking to learn ethical principles and how to apply them to their professional practice.
