This online engineering PDH course presents each type of coating resin or binder categorized by its film-forming mechanism, different types of pigments, and the various solvent families. It also discusses drying oils which are an integral part of some coating formulations, as well as, driers that aid in the drying reaction. Furthermore, it describes miscellaneous additives that are formulated into many coatings for specific purposes. It also provides guidance on powder coatings, thermal spray organic and inorganic coatings, and galvanizing tapes and wraps.
This course also presents a systematic approach to coating selection for new construction and maintenance painting. It details the criteria for selecting a coating system based on the service environment(s), surface preparation requirements, and options for coating application. Finally, it discusses other considerations such as VOC concerns, coating cost, supplier recommendations, ease of application, and maintainability.
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding of coating types, characteristics and selection.

This online engineering PDH course provides information regarding the identification and treatment of corrosive attack on aircraft structures and engine materials.
Corrosion is the electrochemical deterioration of a metal because of its chemical reaction with a surrounding environment. While the aerospace industry is continuously developing new and better materials, progress is offset partly by a more aggressive operational environment and by the complexity of the corrosion phenomenon, which can take many different forms. The resistance of aircraft materials to corrosion can drastically change with only a small environmental change.
This 9 PDH online course is applicable to material, industrial and mechanical engineers, as well as aircraft operators, maintenance and repair personnel in addition to all others seeking a better understanding of the basics of corrosion in aircrafts.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the factors that cause corrosion
- Understanding the effects of corrosion
- Knowing which areas are prone to corrosion and the methods of prevention
- Learning the requirements for inspecting aircraft
- Learning corrosion removal techniques

The online engineering PDH course addresses two aspects of metals. The first part of this course deals with the basic structures of metals and how those structures are affected by various processes. In addition, it contains information on the various imperfections and defects that the metal may sustain and how they affect the metal. The second part contains information on metal properties which are considered when selecting material for engineering design purposes. Each of these properties contains a discussion on how the property is affected and the metal's application.

This engineering online PDH course will establish conditions under which, when an engineering failure has occurred, it can be attributed to negligence.
Five causes of failure are proposed: negligence, rare failure mode, overlooked failure mode, new (previously unrecognized) failure mode, and incorrect assessment of a known risk. Negligence is the only cause that involves failing in an ethical duty. These concepts are illustrated with five case studies of failures ranging from gross negligence to absolutely unforeseeable events: 1) the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919, for which a new possible cause was identified 95 years later (2014); 2) a building collapse in Bangladesh in which over 1,000 people died—one of the worst structural engineering disasters in history; 3) a meteorite strike of a private residence; 4) the crash of the British-French Concorde supersonic airliner, caused by an unlikely tire blow-out; and 5) radiation overdoses received by patients treated by the Thorac-25 medical linear accelerator, caused by errors in the software controlling the machine.
The 2 PDH online course is intended for engineers concerned with ethical behavior in engineering practice.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the definitions of negligence and standard of care
- Relating safety to risk
- Knowing the principle of Knightian uncertainty
- Avoiding the retrospective fallacy in accident investigations
- Avoiding the fallacy, in accident investigations, of assuming perfect engineering practice
- Using the results of failure investigations appropriately
- Being aware of the negative effects of punishment on learning from accidents
