This online engineering PDH course provides information on the design and post-implementation evaluation of Road Diets, and presents the decision-making process that helps practitioners determine whether Road Diets are a good fit for a certain corridor.
Four-lane undivided highways have a history of relatively high crash rates as traffic volumes increase and as the inside lane is shared by higher speed through traffic and left-turning vehicles. One option for addressing this safety concern is a “Road Diet.” A Road Diet involves converting an existing four-lane undivided roadway segment to a three-lane segment consisting of two through lanes and a center two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL). The reduction of lanes allows the roadway cross section to be reallocated for other uses such as bike lanes, pedestrian refuge islands, transit stops, or parking.
A Road Diet improves safety by including a protected left-turn lane for mid-block left-turning motorists, reducing crossing distance for pedestrians, and reducing travel speeds that decrease crash severity. Additionally, the Road Diet provides an opportunity to allocate excess roadway width to other purposes, including bicycle lanes, on-street parking, or transit stops.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers who are interested in improving safety and reducing highway fatalities through the use of proven safety countermeasures including Road Diets.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basics of Road Diets

This online engineering PDH course provides information on roundabout at the planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance levels. It also includes the procedures considered for selecting and assessing the appropriateness of a roundabout.
A modern roundabout is one of the three types of circular intersections. However, roundabouts have demonstrated substantial safety and operational performance over other forms of intersection control. This course focuses on two categories of roundabouts: single-lane and multilane roundabouts. It is intended to ensure consistency across the State in the implementation of roundabouts at new installations and to provide safe and efficient traffic operations in the case of retrofit/redesign or reconstruction of existing intersections.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to transportation engineers, road designers, planners, contractors and professionals who are interested in the design, operation, construction and maintenance of roundabouts.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the roundabout planning at signalized and un-signalized at-grade intersections
- Knowing the effect public participation and education on the safety and performance of roundabouts
- Understanding the methods and parameters used in the geometric design of roundabouts, positioning of signs, landscaping, poles, and other roadside furniture
- Learning the considerations taken for pedestrian and cyclists while designing a roundabout
- Knowing the traffic control devices such as traffic signing and pavement markings
- Understanding the general principals and recommendations for roundabout lightening and landscaping
- Learning about the construction stages and the traffic control in the work zone
- Familiarizing with the maintenance special provisions of watering and drainage systems in the central islands of roundabouts

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the main operations, logistics, and technology strategies for improving urban freight mobility and delivery.
The course covers the challenges and opportunities associated with urban freight transport, as well as various strategies and technologies that can be used to improve freight mobility in urban areas or to minimize its impacts on others. Operations, logistics, and technology (OLT) strategies represent a set of practices that can be applied to improve the movement of goods and the quality of life of urban residents.
The course will help in understanding potential applications of OLT strategies in order to improve urban freight management and mobility through sharing noteworthy practices that have been implemented successfully.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to transportation planners, traffic engineers, agency personnel as well as design and construction personnel involved in the improvement of urban freight mobility and delivery.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with operations strategies and noteworthy practices
- Understanding logistics strategies and noteworthy practices such as off-hour delivery, reservation systems for pick-up and delivery locations, modal shifts, freight consolidation
- Learning about technology strategies and noteworthy practices
- Learning about planning and funding operations, logistics, and technology strategies
- Understanding federal funding opportunities for freight

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.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to all professional engineers who are either required to fulfill 2 PDH in engineering ethics or are interested in broadening their understanding of what it means to practice and uphold the honor and integrity of their engineering profession while holding the utmost safety, health, and welfare of the public.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the common definition of ethics regarding engineering
- Learning about the important principles of the engineer’s professional responsibility
- Learning the do’s and don’ts through several ethical and disciplinary cases
- Understanding what it means to practise and uphold the honor and integrity of the engineering profession
