New Jersey Geotechnical and Ethics 24 PDH Discount Package 2
Bearing Capacity of Soils (G10-002)
Dam Safety Risk Management (C03-060)
Engineering Ethics - Case Studies in Bribery (LE2-017)
This online engineering PDH course presents the guidelines for the design of rock foundations supporting various types of structures and embankments. These guidelines include information on foundation exploration and testing procedures, load test methods, analysis techniques, design criteria and procedures, and construction considerations. These guidelines provide a minimum standard to be used for planning a satisfactory rock foundation design for a typical situation.
This 9 PDH online course is applicable to geotechnical and structural engineers, geologists, as well as design and construction personnel involved in the design of rock foundations.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Foundation design considerations and factor of safety
- Site investigation techniques and procedures
- Rock mass characterization and classification schemes
- Foundation deformation and settlement analysis, estimation and treatment
- Foundation bearing capacity analysis, estimation and treatment
- Sliding stability assessment of gravity structures and slopes cut into rock mass
- Design of rock anchorage systems
- Selection of appropriate geotechnical instrumentation.
- Construction considerations of foundations and cut slopes in rock masses
- Recognizing and treating special conditions
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the US Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-1-2908, "Rock Foundations"

This online engineering PDH course presents the guidelines for calculation of the bearing capacity of soil under shallow and deep foundations supporting various types of structures such as buildings and houses, towers and storage tanks, fills, embankments and dams. These guidelines may be helpful in determining soils that will lead to bearing capacity failure or excessive settlements for given foundations and loads.
Bearing capacity is the ability of soil to safely carry the pressure placed on the soil from any engineered structure without undergoing a shear failure with accompanying large settlements. Applying a bearing pressure which is safe with respect to failure does not ensure that settlement of the foundation will be within acceptable limits. Therefore, settlement analysis should generally be performed since most structures are sensitive to excessive settlement.
This 10 PDH online course is applicable to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, as well as design and construction personnel who are involved with foundation investigation and design.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the failure modes and other factors that influence the bearing capacity
- Knowing the non-load related design considerations due to environmental and geotechnical conditions
- Familiarizing with the laboratory and in situ methods of determining soil parameters required for analysis of bearing capacity
- Analyzing the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the US Corps of Engineers Publication EM 1110-1-1905, "Bearing Capacity of Soils".

This engineering online PDH covers the basic guidelines and principles of dam risk management.
Risk management is the overarching activity when risk is used to inform dam safety decision making and builds on risk analysis and risk assessment phases. It encompasses activities related to making risk-informed decisions, prioritizing evaluations of risk, prioritizing risk reduction activities, and making program decisions associated with managing a portfolio of facilities. Risk management includes evaluating the environmental, social, cultural, ethical, political, and legal considerations during all parts of the process.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to geotechnical and civil engineers, as well as other technical personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of dam risk management in order to make risk-informed decisions.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about the dam safety risk management framework for decision making
- Understanding the aspects and components of Risk Analysis (i.e. types, estimation & results)
- Understanding the aspects and components of Risk Assessment (i.e. process, safety decision making approach & tolerable risk)
- Understanding the aspects and components of Risk Management (i.e. objectives, urgency of action & prioritization)
- Familiarization with the aspects and components of Risk Communication and public awareness

In this online engineering PDH course, principles of engineering ethics are reinforced by examination of seven case studies of bribery.
The case studies are actual bribery cases that have been successfully prosecuted by agencies of the Federal government. Bribery was chosen as the subject of the course because it is one of the few crimes mentioned explicitly in almost all engineering Codes of Ethics or Standards of Conduct. The ethical aspects of the cases are developed by identifying specific passages in a set of Standards of Conduct for engineers that were violated by the actions of the convicted engineers.
This 2 PDH course is intended for engineers interested in increasing their understanding of the applicability and relevance of engineering ethics.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Knowing the definition of bribery
- Knowing the motivations for typical cases of bribery
- Learning how to relate a type of crime to a specific standard of conduct
- Understanding common types of bribery
- Understanding that both paying and soliciting a bribe are violations of bribery laws
- Familiarizing with state regulatory laws for professional engineers as a source of engineering ethics principles
