Course Highlights
This online engineering PDH course provides a technical and multidisciplinary exploration of engineering failures in municipal water treatment systems.
This course examines structural, mechanical, process control, and regulatory causes of treatment breakdowns, including critical case studies such as Flint, Michigan and Walkerton, Ontario. It explores common failure modes, engineering misjudgments, operational oversights, and the cascading effects of system breakdowns on public health and environmental safety. Also, this course delivers a comprehensive review of real-world failures and teaches how to identify vulnerabilities, improve resilience, and meet regulatory standards in water treatment engineering.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to chemical and civil engineers, as well as other professionals who are interested in learning more about the engineering failures in municipal water treatment systems.
