This online engineering PDH course discusses the six simple machines: the lever, the block, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the screw and the gear. When you familiarize with the principles of these simple machines, you can readily understand the operation of complex machines.
A machine is any device that helps you to do work. It may help by changing the amount of force or the speed of action. Machines may also be used to change the direction of a force or in other cases transform energy; for example, a generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. Complex machines are basically combinations of two or more simple machines.

This online engineering course presents the operational principles and basic mechanisms of the internal combustion engine.
The power of an internal combustion engine comes from burning a mixture of fuel and air in a small, enclosed space. When this mixture burns, it expands significantly; building pressure that pushes the piston down, in turn rotating the crankshaft. Eventually, this motion is transferred through the transmission and out to the drive wheels to move the vehicle.
The automobile is a familiar object to all of us. The engine that moves it is one of the most fascinating and talked about of all the complex machines we use today. This machine is what we call the internal combustion engine.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the different types of fire protection systems and presents guidelines for periodic inspection and maintenance procedures of these systems.
Fire protection systems are designed to extinguish fires as quick as possible to prevent the loss of lives and property. When fire suppression systems are installed, the system would control, put out any fire that may result and signal the fire department. However, in the absence of similar systems, any building could be severely damaged or completely destroyed before the fire department could respond.
There are several types of fire protection systems. Each system is designed to serve in specific locations and has its unique components and functioning characteristics. And in order to ensure that these systems are safe and reliable, periodic inspection and maintenance of their components is required.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to engineers who are interested in learning more about fire protection systems and the inspection and maintenance procedures for a safe and a reliable performance.

This online engineering PDH course will establish, through the presentation of many examples, the principles of distinguishing between a gift and a bribe.
The federal government has formulated detailed rules covering gifts given to executive-branch employees in many situations. The rules are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and are illustrated through many examples. Even though the examples are intended for government employees (many of whom are engineers), they also apply to private-sector engineers in similar situations. This course presents selected CFR examples that furnish guidance on the ethics of gift giving in situations that are especially relevant to engineers.
