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 4 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers as well as other professionals who are interested in learning more about the theory and basics of electricity.

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.
