This online engineering PDH course will introduce you to methods for cleaning industrial water systems with chemicals. You will learn about pre-operational cleaning which is performed to prepare water-contacted metal surfaces to receive chemical treatment to provide protection from scale, corrosion and microbiological growth. You will also learn about remedial cleaning to restore water systems that have been fouled with scale, corrosion products and microbiological growth due to inadequate or ineffective water treatment. Examples of industrial water systems for which chemical cleaning are applicable are boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and chillers.
Maintenance of an effective water treatment program is essential to minimize scale and corrosion problems in industrial water systems; however, scale and deposits will often form and require remedial cleaning. If not removed, these scale and water-caused deposits may impact the safety of operations personnel, interfere with heat transfer, and cause excessive damage to, or destruction of, the water-using equipment.
This 3 PDH online course is intended for industrial, chemical and mechanical engineers, as well as, maintenance personnel and construction professionals interested in learning about the use of chemicals for cleaning industrial water systems and equipment such as boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers and chillers.

This online engineering PDH course describes pesticide label requirements for Chemigation, Chemigation system operation and calibration and Chemigation system safety.
Chemigation, or the addition of chemicals to irrigation water, has probably been around for as long as both irrigation and chemicals have been used in agriculture. Chemigation became more widely used in the 1970's with the adoption of center pivot irrigation systems in the Midwest. Backflow prevention is necessary to prevent pesticide contamination of surface water supplies as well as ground water.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, civil engineers, chemical engineers and environmental engineers who are interested in learning more about chemigation in irrigation water.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Pesticide labeling requirements for chemigation

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
