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 PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the various types of film-forming mechanisms
- Understanding how resins (binders) are formed and their underlying pigments

This online engineering PDH course describes the good practices for insulating basements in new and existing homes.
There are many considerations to account for when making decisions about insulation. Costs, codes, energy efficiency, pest control, moisture management; the list goes on. Coupled with the large variety of insulation options including mineral fiber, mineral wool, foam boards, foam sprays, polyisocyanurate, etc., it is important to be aware of what options best suit a project’s particular conditions.
Codes are also constantly changing. While it is beyond the scope of this course to provide a comprehensive view of all basement insulation codes, it does discuss many common codes relevant to basement insulation projects, as well as changes to codes in recent years.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, energy professionals and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of basement insulation applications.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding what considerations should be taken into account when looking at basement insulation options
- Familiarizing with the variety of insulation options
- Understanding the problems associated with the choice of insulation
- Familiarizing with codes which must be met for projects involving basement insulation
