Mississippi Chemical and Ethics 15 PDH Discount Package 3
Chemical Transformation Simulator (H02-013)
Determining Negligence in Engineering Failures (LE2-012)
This online engineering PDH course provides an introspective look into reducing CO2 emissions through comprehensive multi-sector and electric models.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) represents a significant legislative commitment to transform energy production and consumption, reduce the risks of climate change, improve environmental quality, and simultaneously spur investments that create economic opportunities. This course presents results from state-of-the-art multi-sector and electric sector models to assess how the IRA’s provisions reduce CO2 emissions.
This course is responsive to section 60107(5) of the Low Emissions Electricity Program within the IRA, which requires EPA to assess “... the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that result from changes in domestic electricity generation and use that are anticipated to occur on an annual basis through fiscal year 2031.” This course primarily focuses on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions because the vast majority of direct electric sector GHG emissions are from fossil fuel combustion and the increased use of clean electricity primarily offsets fossil fuel use in end-use sectors.
This 11 PDH online course is applicable to environmental and civil engineers, as well as others who are interested in gaining insight on CO2 emissions, and the solutions to reduce the negative effects of emissions.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the emission reduction in multi-sector and electric sector models
- Gaining a general overview on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
- Familiarizing with the economy wide CO2 emissions analysis and results
- Learning about the key IRA provisions for the electric sector, the transportation sector, the building sector, and the industry
- Understanding sector analysis and results for electric sector, transportation sector, building sector and industry
- Learning about the different ways each sector can potentially contribute to air pollution and CO2 emissions

This online engineering PDH course provides a guide for users on how to utilize the Chemical Transformation Simulator (CTS) tool.
The Chemical Transformation Simulator (CTS) provides the calculated physicochemical properties of a target chemical and its transformation products, which are predicted as a function of the reaction system of interest. This is accomplished through the integration of cheminformatics applications for the encoding of process science underlying transformation pathways and computational chemistry tools for the calculation of physicochemical properties.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to chemical and environmental engineers, as well as other professionals interested in knowing how to use the CTS tool.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the CTS tool and its restrictions
- Understanding the different CTS modules
- Learning how to execute the different CTS workflows
- Knowing how to generate reports

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
- Categorizing the general causes of engineering failures
