This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of electrical theory and presents the basic electrical concepts used in the industry.
A basic understanding of electrical theory is important in any professional environment. Scientists, such as Faraday, Ohm, Lenz, and Kirchhoff have found that electricity seems to behave in a constant and predictable manner in a given condition. These scientists observed and described the predictable characteristics of electricity and electric current in the form of certain rules. These rules are often referred to as "laws".
Although we cannot see the electrons in motion, through experiments and observation we know how they behave. By learning the laws applying to the behavior of electricity and by understanding the methods of producing, controlling, and using it, electricity may be "learned" without ever actually seeing it.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers as well as other professionals who are interested in learning more about the theory and basics of electricity.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of geomagnetic disturbances and their effects on the U.S. electric grid.
Geomagnetic disturbances (GMD), a result of space weather, pose a risk to the U.S. electric grid, although it is not clear how severe a risk. When GMDs occur, they can cause geomagnetically induced current (GIC) in the electric transmission grid, which can cause service disruption or damage under some circumstance.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance in new motor purchase decisions, and helps in identifying the energy and cost savings for motors that should be replaced with premium efficiency units.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) adopted a NEMA Premium® efficiency motor standard in August of 2001. A motor can be marketed as a NEMA Premium motor if it meets or exceeds a set of minimum full-load efficiency levels.
These premium efficiency motor standards cover the 1 horsepower (hp) to 500 hp three-phase low-voltage NEMA Design A and B general, special, and definite purpose induction motors that are in widespread use in U.S. industrial facilities. The energy savings from replacing in-service standard and energy efficient motors with premium efficiency motor models can be substantial.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about the performance, properties, selection and applications of premium efficiency motors.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the in-service motor population and motor uses in the industrial sector
- Understanding the evolution of voluntary and mandatory motor efficiency standards
- Learning how to evaluate motor efficiency opportunities, address application considerations, and determine cost-effectiveness
- Gaining an overview of currently available and emerging advanced “Super Premium” efficiency motor technologies
- Understanding the preventive and predictive maintenance activities necessary to keep premium efficiency motors operating at peak efficiency

This online engineering PDH course discusses large power transformers, presents their different challenges, and provides various plans and recommendations on how to resolve them.
Large power transformers (LPT) serve as a key function to electricity grid infrastructure by managing voltage for efficient, long-distance power transmission and use by grid customers. Electric utilities and the U.S. Department of Energy face several challenges in ensuring that LPTs, both in use and in reserve, are available in adequate numbers to maintain a resilient electricity grid.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers and other technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the challenges facing large power transformers.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with LPTs and their function in the electric grid system
- Exploring the challenges of LPT manufacturing
- Understanding the challenges to ensure adequate transformer reserves
- Learning the various plans and recommendations presented to maintain LPTs

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of the fundamental principles, concepts and definitions of radar systems.
The term Radar is an acronym made up of the words radio detection and ranging. The term is used to refer to electronic equipment that detect the presence, direction, height, and distance of objects by using reflected electromagnetic energy.
Modern radar systems are used for early detection of surface or air objects and provide extremely accurate information on distance, direction, height, and speed of the objects. Radar is also used to guide missiles to targets and direct the firing of gun systems. Other types of radar provide long-distance surveillance and navigation information.

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.
