Ohio Civil and Ethics 30 PDH Discount Package 3

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on evaluating the condition of the concrete in a structure, relating the condition of the concrete to the underlying causes of that condition, and selecting an appropriate repair material and method for any deficiency found. A basic understanding of underlying causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to perform meaningful evaluations of concrete structures.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to civil, geotechnical and structural engineers, as well as design and construction personnel working on construction projects involving evaluation and repair of concrete structures.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the most common guidelines on the design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP).

 

Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) was introduced in the United States almost 100 years ago when the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (now the Federal Highway Administration) constructed a CRCP test section on Columbia Pike in Arlington, Virginia. Since then, CRCP has been constructed in many states in the U.S. and in a number of other countries. As experience with the design and construction of CRCP has grown, a variety of lessons learned through practical experience and research have contributed to the development of best practices for CRCP throughout its life cycle.

 

Today, CRCP is designed and constructed as a pavement of choice for long-life performance, recognizing that initial smoothness will be maintained for decades and that maintenance during that time will be minimal.

 

This 10 PDH online course is applicable to civil engineers who are interested in learning about the design, construction and maintenance of CRCP as an ideal, long-life pavement solution for highly-trafficked and heavily-loaded roadways.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the hydrologic engineering investigations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.

 

Part 1 presents the basic hydrologic concepts for reservoirs including reservoir purposes and basic hydrologic concerns and methods.

 

The water resource system is a system that may consists of reservoirs, power plants, diversion structures, channels, and conveyance facilities that are each constructed for specific objectives and operated together as a system. This system should be designed and operated for the most effective and efficient accomplishment of overall objectives using mathematical models and simulation.

 

A reservoir is the artificial body of water that forms adjacent to a storage dam. Multipurpose reservoirs are reservoirs that serve more than one purpose including generating hydroelectric power, providing flood control, storing water, enabling irrigation, and providing recreational opportunities.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers as well as others interested in expanding their knowledge on the hydrologic engineering considerations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.

This online engineering PDH course provides information about water utilities including drought response and recovery.

 

Many states have experienced prolonged periods of abnormally dry or unusually hot weather that threaten the availability of water and this trend is projected to continue. Unlike other hazards, such as flooding and earthquakes, droughts develop gradually over months or years and it may take an affected community or water utility just as long, if not longer, to recover.

 

Droughts can result in significant economic, social, environmental and water utility operational impacts. This guide provides practical solutions to help drinking water utilities respond to and recover from drought and presents real-world examples, best practices and lessons learned in drought response and recovery.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to environmental and civil engineers as well as other professionals who are interested in learning about drought response and recovery.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the common problems and typical repairs and includes a visual system for evaluating and rating PCC pavements.

 

To manage aviation airfield pavements effectively, all pavements’ conditions should be periodically checked and then organized in an inventory in order to use these evaluations to set priorities for the project or find alternative treatments.

 

A comprehensive pavement management system involves collecting data and assessing several pavement characteristics: roughness, surface distress (condition), surface skid characteristics, drainage, and structure (pavement strength and deflection). Based on this data and combined with the economic analysis of the project, planners can develop treatment measures for the pavements.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to civil engineers, airport owners and managers and professionals who are interested in learning more about concrete airfield pavements.

This online engineering PDH course discusses site-level considerations for development. The intent of this guidance is to provide concepts for integrating land use planning, landscape architecture (vegetation, landforms, and water), site planning, and other strategies to mitigate the design basis threats as identified via the risk assessment.

 

Integrating security requirements into a larger, more comprehensive approach necessitates achieving a balance among many objectives such as reducing risk; facilitating proper building function; aesthetics and matching architecture; hardening of physical structures beyond required building codes and standards; and maximizing use of non-structural systems.

 

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, planners, architects, landscape designers, construction and operations personnel, security and law enforcement agents, as well as consultants and contractors to gain a better understanding in identifying and implementing crucial asset protection measures when planning and designing the site against potential terrorist attacks.

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.
