Wastewater Treatment Processes and Systems (C07-002)
Engineering Ethics for North Carolina Professional Engineers (NC1-001)
This online engineering PDH study provides the student with information on MBR design and operation and information about four leading MBR equipment manufacturers.
The use of membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology, which combines conventional activated sludge treatment with low pressure membrane filtration, has been proven to be a feasible and efficient method of producing reclaimed water. The membrane component of the MBR process eliminates the need for a clarifier and is performed using low-pressure membranes such as microfiltration (MF) or ultrafiltration (UF). MBR technology offers several advantages to conventional wastewater treatment including reduced footprint, consistent and superior effluent water quality and ease of operation.
A pilot study was conducted by the US Bureau of Reclamation to evaluate the MBR technology for its potential application to water reclamation. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate several leading manufacturers in an effort to encourage competition within the MBR industry. In addition, the study focused on optimizing MBR operation for water reclamation. The study included a parallel comparison of four leading MBR suppliers.
This 7 PDH online course is intended for engineers, state regulators, and water treatment professional. It provides information on MBR design, operation, and costs. It will also assist those professionals that work in the area of upgrading and expansions of existing water and wastewater facilities or the design of new facilities. The course is suitable for a student with basic water treatment knowledge or for an advanced student that needs to brush up on water treatment basics.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- General requirements of the USEPA Clean Water Act
- MBR performance evaluations
- Knowledge of MBR technology and equipment
- Wastewater treatment and MBR design criteria
- O&M requirements and costs of MBR systems
- Support information for determining MBR applications
In this professional engineering CEU course you will need to review the Department of Interior, "Optimization of Various MBR Systems for Water Reclamation, Phase III, Final Technical Report", as well as "Appendix A" to this report.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty five (35) questions to earn 7 PDH credits. Twenty five (25) of the thirty five (35) questions will be based on the main DOI document. The final ten (10) questions will be based on Appendix A involving economics and visual identification of the different membrane units.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)

This online engineering PDH course provides information on individual onsite/decentralized treatment technologies or unit processes. Information on typical application, design, construction, operation, maintenance, cost, and pollutant removal effectiveness is provided for most classes of treatment units and their related processes. This information is intended to be used in the preliminary selection of a system of treatment unit processes that can be assembled to achieve predetermined pollutant discharge concentrations or other specific performance requirements.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to civil, and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning, selection and design of subsurface wastewater infiltration systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding of conventional system types and treatment options
- Knowledge of the subsurface wastewater infiltration system
- Establishing design considerations
- Evaluating construction management and contingency options
- Understanding the design, construction and functionality of septic tanks
- Understanding the design, construction and functionality of sand/media filters
- Understanding the design, construction and functionality of aerobic treatment units
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 4 of the USEPA Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Manual, EPA/625/R-00/008, "Treatment Processes and Systems".
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
This online engineering PDH course presents the laws and rules of ethics and professional responsibility governing the practice of engineering in the State of North Carolina.
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).
Excerpts from the North Carolina Engineering and Land Surveying Act, Chapter 89C and Title 21, Chapter 56 of the North Carolina Administrative Code which relate to the rules of profession conduct, continuing education requirements, proper use of seal and other pertinent regulatory provisions are presented in this course.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the State of North Carolina and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal (effective 2024). For each renewal period, every licensee must complete fifteen (15) professional development hours, at least one of which must be in ethics or rules of professional conduct.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the laws and rules regulating the practice of engineering in the State of North Carolina
- Learning about engineering ethics, the rules of professional conduct and responsibility
- Understanding the role of the North Carolina Board and its disciplinary authority
- Understanding the continuing education requirements and proper use of seal in the State of North Carolina
- Gaining an overview of disciplinary cases, violations and their corresponding penalties imposed by the North Carolina Board
