COURSE TITLE: Basement Insulation Basics
COURSE NO: T03-006
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Basement Insulation Basics
Course Highlights

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.

Learning Objectives

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
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review "Basement Insulation Basics" by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), publication DOE/GO-102012-3716, dated October 2012.

COURSE TITLE: Coating Application and Inspection
COURSE NO: T03-001
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Coating Application and Inspection
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents the technologies, techniques, advantages and limitations, equipment, typical coating types involved, and safety considerations for each type of application method.

 

The choice of an application method depends on the type of coating to be applied, the type and size of surface to be coated, and governing environmental regulations. There are various methods of coating application, including brush application, roller application, conventional spray, high volume-low pressure spray, airless spray, plural component spray, and electrostatic spray.

 

Approximately 85 percent of all premature coating failures are a result of poor surface preparation, inadequate mixing, thinning, and/or poor coating application. Onsite quality control inspection during surface preparation and coating application procedures can help prevent failures of these types. Proper inspection techniques must be combined with knowledgeable instrument use, good common sense, and thorough documentation of work activities and inspection checkpoints to help ensure specification compliance. The amount of inspection and the specific inspection checkpoints will vary with the type and size of the coating project. This course presents eleven quality control inspection procedures as follows:

  • Pre-surface preparation inspection
  • Ambient conditions
  • Compressed air cleanliness
  • Surface profile
  • Surface cleanliness
  • Paint storage, mixing, and thinning procedures
  • Application techniques
  • Wet and dry coating thickness
  • Pinhole detection
  • Adhesion
  • Cure

 

This 3 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 application and inspection.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Methods of coating application
  • Documentation of coating applications
  • Pre-surface preparation inspection
  • Measurement of ambient conditions
  • Assessment of compressed air cleanliness
  • Measurement of surface profile
  • Evaluation of surface cleanliness
  • Paint storage, mixing, and thinning
  • Measurement of wet coating thickness
  • Nondestructive measurement of dry coating thickness
  • Destructive measurement of dry coating thickness
  • Cleanliness and time (cure) between coats
  • Holiday/pinhole detection
  • Adhesion testing and evaluation
Course Document

In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapters 8 and 9 of the “Painting: New Construction and Maintenance” engineering manual, published by the United States Army of Corps of Engineers (USACE), Publication Number EM 1110-2-3400.

Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Nebraska. Title 110, Chapter 5, “Code of Practice”, of the Nebraska Rules and Regulations of the Rules, which relate to the laws and rules of profession conduct are presented in this course.

 

Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

 

Since engineers are faced with frequent moral and ethical dilemmas while practicing their engineering profession, this course will provide you with moral and ethical guidance in your decision making process. Most importantly, it will provide you with insight on how to conduct, respect and protect your engineering practice with the utmost professionalism.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Nebraska and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete thirty (30) professional development hours, at least one (1) of which must be relative to the principals of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
