Interactive & Video Discount Package - Maryland Transportation and Ethics 16 PDH

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief outline of the requirements in the ADA Standards for parking and passenger loading zones as per the current editions of the ADA Standards issued by the Department of Justice and the Department of Transportation.

This presentation also provides clearly labeled recommendations for best practices that exceed the minimum requirements and are thus optional to follow. In addition, it provides links to other federal accessibility requirements that may also apply to entities covered by the ADA.

This 1 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to architects, engineers, and design and construction planners, who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the requirements in the ADA Standards for parking and passenger loading zones.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an in-depth examination of airport pavement maintenance and its critical role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and longevity of airport infrastructure. It explores key factors contributing to pavement deterioration, including environmental conditions, structural issues, and operational impacts. The presentation highlights preventive and corrective maintenance strategies, best practices in pavement inspection, repair techniques, and material selection, and regulatory compliance with FAA standards.

 

This presentation begins by introducing airport pavement maintenance fundamentals, discussing common types of pavement distress and their corrective actions. It explores preventive maintenance methods such as crack sealing, patching, and drainage system upkeep, ensuring that pavements maintain their load-carrying capacity and safe operational conditions. Participants will gain insights into long-term pavement management planning, including budgeting, rehabilitation techniques, and compliance with Airport Improvement Program (AIP) requirements. Additionally, the presentation emphasizes the role of airport authorities, engineers, and maintenance teams in preserving pavement quality and enhancing operational safety.

 

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is designed for civil engineers, airport facility managers, maintenance professionals, and regulatory compliance specialists involved in airport pavement maintenance, safety, and infrastructure management.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides guidance on the most important design aspects and elements of different types of roundabouts.

Roundabout design involves trade-offs among safety, operations, and accommodating large vehicles. Some roundabout features are uniform, while others vary depending on the location and size of the roundabout. Roundabout design is an iterative process, in which small changes in geometry can result in substantial changes to operational and safety performance. This presentation will detail design considerations specific to multilane roundabouts, rural roundabouts, and mini roundabouts.

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily to traffic engineers, transportation planners, managers, and other technical professionals who are involved in the geometric design of roundabouts.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides guidance for maintaining pedestrian facilities with the primary goal of increasing safety and mobility.

Although there are guidelines and standards to aid in the design of pedestrian facilities, it can be difficult to adequately maintain facilities once they are in place, so they remain safe and accessible. Aside from unavailable federal funding for maintenance activities, there are also liability consequences related to poor, inadequate, or infrequent inspection and maintenance of pedestrian facilities.

The purpose of this presentation therefore is to identify effective and exceptional practices, along with barriers for pedestrian facility maintenance: what works and what does not work based on experience from state and local agencies.

This 4 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to any agency or organization that builds and maintains pedestrian facilities. This includes government bodies at the state, county or local level, but it may also include homeowners’ associations, private land management organizations and other groups.

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a brief overview on the role of smartphone applications in identifying services and choices and in influencing transportation activities of its users.

Over the years, smartphone applications have evolved from early basic applications to multi-platform, advanced features that we commonly see today. Demographic shifts, improvements in computing power and mapping technology, the use of cloud computing, changes in wireless communication, concerns about congestion, and increased awareness about the environment and climate change are changing the way people travel.

This presentation is intended to demonstrate how vital smartphones are becoming to the transportation network and how smartphones play a vital role in identifying services and choices for traveling individuals.

This 2 PDH online interactive presentation is applicable to public agencies, transportation managers, elected officials, and other mobility consumers who want to gain a perspective and understanding of smartphone “apps” and their influence on transportation activities.

This online engineering PDH video presentation introduces the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Maryland. It also emphasizes on behavior as a professional member of the workforce.

 

This video presents the provisions of professional conduct from two viewpoints. First, your conduct as a professional engineer with behavior that is unique to engineers such as stamping drawings, signing official or technical documents, preparing estimates for clients or employers, and submitting engineering reports to official agencies. Second, your behavior as a member of the larger workforce where you communicate with team members, follow company policies and procedures, and your overall behavior as part of a workplace community.

 

Furthermore, this presentation discusses the disciplinary cases and its outcomes in situations where professional engineers have violated the requirements of professional responsibility and ethical conduct – the decisions we make when no one is watching.

 

This 1 PDH online video presentation is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Texas 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 fifteen (15) professional development hours, at least one (1) of which must be relative to the Maryland Laws and Rules, or to the rules of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
