Improving Motor and Drive System Performance (E06-006)
Radar Fundamentals (E05-014)
Free Speech vs. Regulation of Professional Engineers (LE1-009)
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.
This 3 PDH online course is designed for electrical engineers and other technical professionals seeking to learn how to strengthen grid resilience against climate change.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the effects of climate change on the electricity grid
- Examining the anticipated costs associated with climate change-related outages and infrastructure damage
- Familiarizing with the roles and responsibilities of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in bolstering grid resilience
- Learning how federal agencies assist private companies, which predominantly own the grid, through guidance, research, and standards
- Learning how resilience investments can alleviate the impacts of climate change on the electricity grid while safeguarding economic and national security

This online PDH course presents the basics of motor and drive systems and briefly describes important terms, relationships, and system design considerations. It also provides a roadmap for finding opportunities to improve motor performance, as well as exploring the economics of motor systems.
Electric motors, taken together, make up the single largest end use of electricity in the United States. In the U.S. manufacturing sector, electric motors used for machine drives such as pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, mixers, grinders, and other materials handling or processing equipment account for about 54% of electricity consumption.
To achieve cost-effective operation and maintenance of a motor and drive system, operators must pay attention to the entire system as well as to its individual components. Often, when investigating efficiency opportunities, operators are so focused on the immediate demands of this equipment that they overlook the bigger picture, which includes the ways in which system parameters affect all the equipment.
This 6 PDH online course is intended for electrical and mechanical engineers, contractors, manufacturers, building professionals and others interested in learning more about improving motor and drive system performance.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of the fundamental principles, concepts and definitions of radar systems.
The term Radar is an acronym made up of the words radio detection and ranging. The term is used to refer to electronic equipment that detect the presence, direction, height, and distance of objects by using reflected electromagnetic energy.
Modern radar systems are used for early detection of surface or air objects and provide extremely accurate information on distance, direction, height, and speed of the objects. Radar is also used to guide missiles to targets and direct the firing of gun systems. Other types of radar provide long-distance surveillance and navigation information.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to electrical, instrumentation and communication engineers, as well as other technical personnel interested in gaining a better understanding about radar principles.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about range, bearing, and altitude in relation to radar systems
- Understanding how pulse width, peak power, and beam width affect radar performance
- Learning about the factors that affect radar accuracy
- Understanding the function, principles of operation, and interrelationships of the basic units of a radar system
- Familiarizing with the classifications of radar systems
- Understanding the operation of CW, pulse, and Doppler radar systems

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
- Understanding the meaning and use of a Notice to Impose a Civil Penalty
- Understanding the significance of working outside the context of an employment or contractual relationship
