This online engineering PDH course presents specific parameters of a nuclear reactor including the neutron life cycle, reactivity and reactivity coefficients, neutron poisons, and control rods:
- Neutron Life Cycle is the series of steps that fission neutrons go through as they slow to thermal energies and are absorbed in the reactor.
- Reactivity is a measure of the departure of a reactor from criticality. Reactivity coefficients are useful in quantifying the reactivity change that will occur due to the change in a physical property such as the temperature of the moderator or fuel.
- Neutron Poisons are absorbing materials intentionally designed into the reactor for specific purposes including remove neutrons from the reactor.
- Control Rods are made of neutron absorbing materials and used to adjust the reactivity of the core.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidelines on the safe handling and use of portable nuclear gauges.
Gauges are used in industries such as agriculture, construction and civil engineering to measure moisture and compaction levels in soil and asphalt density in paving mixes.
Two types of radiation are used in gauges: gamma and neutron.
Working with portable gauges presents no major health dangers or significant risks if basic safety precautions are taken and common sense is used. By following proper safety procedures, using effective radiation protection principles, and helping others to do likewise, the workplace will remain safe at all times.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to industrial engineers and professionals who are interested in learning about portable gauges and the safety measures to operate them.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the CNSC’s role and the role of portable gauges
- Understanding the definition of radiation and the methods of protection
- Recognizing the methods to keep track of radiation doses: personal dosimeters or counting shots
- Identifying the responsibilities of portable gauge users
- Knowing the training requirements for portable gauge users
- Learning about the emergency procedures and the measures to be taken if the device is lost or stolen
- Knowing the steps to take before you start, during the operations and at the end of the job

This online engineering PDH course presents the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession.
Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).
This course describes the fundamental legal concepts with which very engineer should be familiar. It also presents unique disciplinary case studies selected from across the nation, as well as hypothetical ethical challenges that demonstrate how difficult it can be to apply the code of ethics for engineers.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to all professional engineers who are either required to fulfill 2 PDH in engineering ethics or are interested in broadening their understanding of what it means to practice and uphold the honor and integrity of their engineering profession while holding the utmost safety, health, and welfare of the public.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the common definition of ethics regarding engineering
- Learning about the important principles of the engineer’s professional responsibility
- Learning the do’s and don’ts through several ethical and disciplinary cases
- Understanding what it means to practise and uphold the honor and integrity of the engineering profession
