This online engineering PDH course provides guidance in new motor purchase decisions, and helps in identifying the energy and cost savings for motors that should be replaced with premium efficiency units.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) adopted a NEMA Premium® efficiency motor standard in August of 2001. A motor can be marketed as a NEMA Premium motor if it meets or exceeds a set of minimum full-load efficiency levels.
These premium efficiency motor standards cover the 1 horsepower (hp) to 500 hp three-phase low-voltage NEMA Design A and B general, special, and definite purpose induction motors that are in widespread use in U.S. industrial facilities. The energy savings from replacing in-service standard and energy efficient motors with premium efficiency motor models can be substantial.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about the performance, properties, selection and applications of premium efficiency motors.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the in-service motor population and motor uses in the industrial sector
- Understanding the evolution of voluntary and mandatory motor efficiency standards
- Learning how to evaluate motor efficiency opportunities, address application considerations, and determine cost-effectiveness
- Gaining an overview of currently available and emerging advanced “Super Premium” efficiency motor technologies
- Understanding the preventive and predictive maintenance activities necessary to keep premium efficiency motors operating at peak efficiency

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information about small wind electric systems to help you decide if wind energy will work for you.
Wind is created by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical power that runs a generator to produce clean electricity.
Can I use wind energy to power my home? More people across the country are asking this question as they look for a hedge against increasing electricity rates and a way to harvest their local wind resources. Although wind turbines large enough to provide a significant portion of the electricity needed by the average U.S. home generally require 1 acre of property or more, approximately 19.3% of the U.S. population lives in rural areas and may own land parcels large enough to accommodate a wind energy system.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers and energy professionals who are interested in learning more about small wind electric systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with wind energy, terminology, and basic principles of wind turbines
- Understanding the different ways to make a home more energy efficient
- Understanding how and when small wind energy systems provide a practical and economical source of electricity
- Learning about the size of wind turbines required for specific applications
- Learning about the basic parts of a small wind electric system
- Knowing where to find certified small wind turbines, as well as installation and maintenance support
- Calculating how much energy a wind electric system will generate
- Gaining a general overview of hybrid wind energy systems

This online engineering PDH course provides general guidance to help business owners understand how to comply with the Department of Justice’s Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and the 2010 Standards, the design standards for accessible buildings.
The ADA applies to both the built environment and to policies and procedures that affect how a business provides goods and services to its customers. Using this guidance, small business owners or managers can ensure that they will not unintentionally exclude people with disabilities and will know when they need to remove barriers in existing facilities.
This 1 PDH online course is intended for engineers involved in the planning, design or operation of a small business.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding who is covered by the ADA
- Understanding the general non-discrimination requirements
- Learning how to make the built environment accessible
- Knowing how to assess a facility
- Training staff on ADA requirements
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “ADA Update: A Primer for Small Business,” March, 2011.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions to earn 1 PDH credit. The quiz will be based on this ADA publication.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on effective ergonomic interventions that help lower the physical demands of manual material handling (MMH) work.
Manual material handling work contributes to a large percentage of over half a million cases of musculoskeletal disorders reported annually in the United States. Musculoskeletal disorders often involve strains and sprains to the lower back, shoulders, and upper limbs. They can result in protracted pain, disability, medical treatment, and financial stress for those afflicted with them.
Effective ergonomic interventions can lower the physical demands of MMH work tasks, thereby lowering the incidence and severity of the musculoskeletal injuries they can cause. Their potential for reducing injury-related costs alone make ergonomic interventions a useful tool for improving a company’s productivity, product quality, and overall business competitiveness.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, managers and supervisors who are interested in learning more about ergonomic interventions that reduce the physical demands of manual material handling work.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basics of manual material handling
- Understanding the importance of improving the workplace
- Understanding the conditions associated with the development of injuries in manual material handling tasks
- Learning about the different types of ergonomic improvements
- Knowing easier ways to manually lift, lower, fill, or empty containers
- Exploring alternatives to the manual handling of individual containers

This online engineering PDH course will establish the relationship between the actions of a licensing board for professional engineers and the Constitutional right of free speech.
This course discusses the background and findings of a legal case that arose when a state licensing board for professional engineers attempted to restrict the right of an engineer from speaking about a public safety issue. Actual legal documents and associated correspondence are discussed, and their implications analyzed.
The 1 PDH online course is intended for all registered professional engineers wanting to know about the relation between constitutionally protected free speech and the powers of a licensing board for professional engineers.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the value of free speech in discovering the best solution to technical problems
- Realizing the difference between protected and unprotected speech
- Knowing an example in which the actions of a PE licensing board was limited by the Constitutional right of free speech
- Familiarizing with the meaning of a board letter that announces the opening of an investigation
