Mississippi Electrical and Ethics 30 PDH Discount Package 1

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of electrical theory and presents the basic electrical concepts used in the industry. 

A basic understanding of electrical theory is important in any professional environment. Scientists, such as Faraday, Ohm, Lenz, and Kirchhoff have found that electricity seems to behave in a constant and predictable manner in a given condition. These scientists observed and described the predictable characteristics of electricity and electric current in the form of certain rules. These rules are often referred to as "laws".

Although we cannot see the electrons in motion, through experiments and observation we know how they behave. By learning the laws applying to the behavior of electricity and by understanding the methods of producing, controlling, and using it, electricity may be "learned" without ever actually seeing it.

This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential effects of climate change on the electricity grid and examines strategies to improve its resilience.

Climate change presents substantial challenges for the grid, affecting generation, transmission, distribution, and electricity demand. These challenges could incur costs amounting to billions of dollars annually, jeopardizing economic stability and national security.

The course investigates the vulnerabilities of the U.S. electric grid to climate change-related incidents and evaluates key measures implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) since 2014 to enhance grid resilience. As private companies largely own the grid, federal guidance and standards are crucial for effective resilience planning.

This 3 PDH online course is designed for electrical engineers and other technical professionals seeking to learn how to strengthen grid resilience against climate change.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview on the effects of hurricanes on the electric grid system in the United States and the efforts being made to enhance the grid resilience.

Hurricanes pose significant threats to the electricity grid in some U.S. coastal areas and territories and are a leading cause of major power outages. In recent years, hurricanes have impacted millions of customers in these areas. Adoption of technologies and other measures could improve the resilience of the grid so that it is better able to withstand and rapidly recover from severe weather; this could help mitigate the effects of hurricanes.

This online engineering PDH course provides an insight on the importance of cybersecurity on the electric grid systems.

The U.S. grid’s distribution systems—which carry electricity from transmission systems to consumers and are regulated primarily by states—are increasingly at risk from cyberattacks. Distribution systems are growing more vulnerable, in part because their industrial control systems increasingly allow remote access and connect to business networks. As a result, threat actors can use multiple techniques to access those systems and potentially disrupt operations.

This online engineering PDH course offers a thorough examination of the insights gained from past disasters that have impacted the reliability of the electric grid.

Natural disasters—such as cyclones, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, and severe storms—have profoundly affected the U.S. electricity grid, resulting in widespread power outages that disrupted service for millions and caused billions of dollars in damages. The course emphasizes the critical necessity for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to take proactive measures to enhance the grid's resilience. It focuses on strengthening the electricity grid to ensure it can effectively endure future disasters by leveraging lessons learned from earlier events.

This online engineering PDH course highlights the significance of recognizing electromagnetic risks that affect the reliability of electric grid systems.

The course addresses preparedness for electromagnetic events, which can originate from large-scale geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) triggered by severe solar weather or from human-made sources, such as a high-altitude nuclear explosion that generates an electromagnetic pulse (HEMP). These events can have a considerable impact on critical infrastructure, particularly the electrical grid. Consequently, primary agencies are tasked with risk assessment and improving readiness to mitigate these electromagnetic threats.

This online engineering PDH course discusses large power transformers, presents their different challenges, and provides various plans and recommendations on how to resolve them.

Large power transformers (LPT) serve as a key function to electricity grid infrastructure by managing voltage for efficient, long-distance power transmission and use by grid customers. Electric utilities and the U.S. Department of Energy face several challenges in ensuring that LPTs, both in use and in reserve, are available in adequate numbers to maintain a resilient electricity grid.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the different applications of transformer power system protection of two winding three phase transformers. It explains the different applications, where they are used and the pros and cons for each type of system.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers that design and or operate power systems that range from 15kV to 480V.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of geomagnetic disturbances and their effects on the U.S. electric grid.

Geomagnetic disturbances (GMD), a result of space weather, pose a risk to the U.S. electric grid, although it is not clear how severe a risk. When GMDs occur, they can cause geomagnetically induced current (GIC) in the electric transmission grid, which can cause service disruption or damage under some circumstance.

This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive overview of power cable manufacturing.

In this course, we will explore the entire manufacturing lifecycle of power cables, starting from the selection of conductor materials such as copper and aluminum, through the preparation of polymer compounds for insulation and jacketing, and onto the various extrusion, stranding, cabling, and shielding processes that bring a cable from raw materials to finished product. We will also cover quality control, testing, and performance verification, providing a complete view of how modern cables meet stringent electrical, mechanical, and environmental standards.

This 5 PDH online course is intended for engineers, designers, and technical personnel who are interested in learning about how power cables are manufactured.

This online engineering PDH course presents the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession.

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).

This course describes the fundamental legal concepts with which very engineer should be familiar. It also presents unique disciplinary case studies selected from across the nation, as well as hypothetical ethical challenges that demonstrate how difficult it can be to apply the code of ethics for engineers.
