This online engineering PDH course presents each type of coating resin or binder categorized by its film-forming mechanism, different types of pigments, and the various solvent families. It also discusses drying oils which are an integral part of some coating formulations, as well as, driers that aid in the drying reaction. Furthermore, it describes miscellaneous additives that are formulated into many coatings for specific purposes. It also provides guidance on powder coatings, thermal spray organic and inorganic coatings, and galvanizing tapes and wraps.
This course also presents a systematic approach to coating selection for new construction and maintenance painting. It details the criteria for selecting a coating system based on the service environment(s), surface preparation requirements, and options for coating application. Finally, it discusses other considerations such as VOC concerns, coating cost, supplier recommendations, ease of application, and maintainability.
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding of coating types, characteristics and selection.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the various types of film-forming mechanisms
- Understanding how resins (binders) are formed and their underlying pigments
- Learning about drying oil coatings and their corresponding driers
- Understanding the function of solvents in coatings
- Learning about the various additives and their purposes

This online engineering PDH course describes the good practices for insulating basements in new and existing homes.
There are many considerations to account for when making decisions about insulation. Costs, codes, energy efficiency, pest control, moisture management; the list goes on. Coupled with the large variety of insulation options including mineral fiber, mineral wool, foam boards, foam sprays, polyisocyanurate, etc., it is important to be aware of what options best suit a project’s particular conditions.
Codes are also constantly changing. While it is beyond the scope of this course to provide a comprehensive view of all basement insulation codes, it does discuss many common codes relevant to basement insulation projects, as well as changes to codes in recent years.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, energy professionals and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of basement insulation applications.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding what considerations should be taken into account when looking at basement insulation options
- Familiarizing with the variety of insulation options
- Understanding the problems associated with the choice of insulation
- Familiarizing with codes which must be met for projects involving basement insulation

This online engineering PDH course describes the basic principles of lubricant additives, filtration, monitoring and sampling, and oil handling procedures.
This course is intended to be a practical guide to lubrication with enough technical detail to allow personnel to recognize and easily discern differences in performance properties specified in manufacturers' product literature so that the proper lubricant for a particular application is selected. In addition, this course discusses the considerations required to adequately maintain the integrity of the lubricants and ensure their effective performance.
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding of lubricants.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basic principles, classifications, and functions of lubricant additives
- Understanding the different filtration and separation processes
- Learning about the process of oil monitoring, system sampling, and testing
- Familiarizing with the essentials of oil storage, handling, disposal and safety considerations

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.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
-
Determining ethical behavior using several philosophical models
-
Evaluating a practical situation in terms of a professional code of ethics
-
Identifying situations that represent conflicts of interest and formulate a proper response
-
Applying the standards of professional ethics in technical communication
-
Recognizing environmental impacts of engineering work
-
Considering principles of sustainable development in the performance of professional duties
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review "Ethics in Professional Practice" published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). (This course document is reproduced by permission of the ASME (www.asme.org). You may also download from or view this course document on the ASME's website by clicking on Ethics in Professional Practice).
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions to earn 2 PDH credit. The quiz will be based on this ASME publication.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)
