Illinois Civil and Laws/Rules/Ethics/Sexual Harassment 30 PDH Discount Package 1

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on the removal methods of deteriorated concrete structures as well as guidance on materials and methods to repair or rehabilitate the structure. Guidance is also included on maintenance of concrete. A basic understanding of underlying causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to perform meaningful successful repairs.

 

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to civil, geotechnical and structural engineers, as well as design and construction personnel working on construction projects involving evaluation and repair of concrete structures.

This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of the occurrence and movement of groundwater. Procedures for planning and managing a site characterization and modeling study are then presented. This is followed by chapters addressing the technical aspects of field investigative methods and computer modeling. A final chapter discussing the interaction of groundwater and surface water is then presented.

 

Since it is not possible to provide specific instructions and/or specific procedures that are universally applicable to every situation that may be encountered, this course emphasizes the use of sound judgment and the development of a good understanding of basic groundwater concepts rather than providing specific guidelines.

 

This 9 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the study and analysis of groundwater flow.

This online engineering PDH course presents EPA's BMP for identifying and eliminating non-stormwater discharges to storm sewers to improve runoff stormwater quality.

 

Non-storm water discharges are typically the result of unauthorized connections of sanitary or process wastewater drains to storm sewers. These connections are common, yet often go undetected. Non-storm water discharges can include discharges of process water, air conditioner condensate, non-contact cooling water, vehicle wash water, or sanitary waste.

 

EPA recognizes that these discharges are significant sources of pollutants, and unless regulated by an NPDES permit, they are also illegal. Therefore the EPA published the Storm Water Phase II Rule on December 8, 1999, that describes a menu of Best Management Practices (BMP). “Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination” is one of the Best Management Practices that requires operators of small MS4s in urbanized areas to identify and eliminate non-storm water discharges to storm sewers in order to improve runoff water quality.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to municipality owners and/or operators, construction contractors/workers, site developers, engineers, managers, and all other personnel involved in the detection and elimination of illicit discharges.

This online engineering PDH course describes the wide array of impact reduction and site design techniques that allow engineers and planners to create stormwater control mechanisms that function in a manner similar to that of natural control mechanisms.

 

The low-impact development (LID) approach combines a hydrologically functional site design with pollution prevention measures to compensate for land development impacts on hydrology and water quality. The primary goal of Low Impact Development methods is to mimic the predevelopment site hydrology by using site design techniques that store, infiltrate, evaporate, and detain runoff. Use of these techniques helps to reduce off-site runoff and ensure adequate groundwater recharge. Since every aspect of site development affects the hydrologic response of the site, LID control techniques focus mainly on site hydrology.

 

This 7 PDH online course is intended for civil and environmental engineers and planners as well as construction professionals who are interested in learning about low impact development design techniques and their applications.

This online PDH course presents a training on sexual harassment prevention in order to adopt and actively implement policies that ensure that workplaces are safe for employees to report and express their concerns about sexual harassment.

 

The Illinois Human Rights Act makes it a civil rights violation “[f]or any employer, employee, agent of any employer, employment agency or labor organization to engage in sexual harassment.” 775 ILCS 5/2-102(D).

 

The Illinois General Assembly finds that tolerance of sexual harassment has a detrimental influence in workplaces by creating a hostile environment for employees, reducing productivity, and increasing legal liability. Therefore, every employer in the State of Illinois is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training that complies with section 2-109 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (“IHRA”).

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to professionals licensed in the State of Illinois and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in sexual harassment prevention training as a condition of their license renewal.

This online engineering PDH course presents the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of Illinois.

 

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).

 

Excerpts from the Professional Engineering Practice Act of 1989, 225 ILCS 325 and the Illinois Administrative Code, Part 1380, which relate to the rules of profession conduct, continuing education requirements, proper use of seal and other pertinent regulatory provisions are presented in this course.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of Illinois who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in the Illinois Laws, Rules and Ethics as a condition of license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete thirty (30) professional development hours, at least one (1) of the 30 hours must be in professional ethics and one (1) of the 30 hours must be in the laws and rules regulating the practice of engineering in the State of Illinois.
