This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the different types of renewable energy systems and their benefits.
Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. It can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation. Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources that could get used up, such as fossil fuels like coal and oil. The advantages of renewable energy are numerous and affect the economy, environment, national security, and human health. The United States is a resource-rich country with abundant renewable energy resources. Renewable energy generates about 20% of all U.S. electricity, and that percentage continues to grow.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to energy engineers and other professionals who are interested in learning more about different renewable energy systems and their benefits.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the benefits of renewable energy
- Understanding the different types of renewable energy

This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of cool roofs, which can help many building owners save money while protecting the environment. It illustrates how cool roofs work, what kinds of cool roof options are available, and how to determine if cool roofing is an appropriate energy efficiency option for your building.
Just as wearing light-colored clothing can help keep a person cool on a sunny day, cool roofs use solar-reflective surfaces to maintain lower roof temperatures. Traditional dark roofs can reach temperatures of 150ºF (66ºC) or more in the summer sun. A cool roof under the same conditions could stay more than 50°F (28ºC) cooler.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, architects, designers, contractors, building owners, and all personnel interested in gaining a better understating of cool roofs.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding what is a cool roof
- Learning about the different types of cool roofs
- Knowing if you should use a cool roof
- Learning about cool roof selection and application
- Knowing the precautions and considerations behind cool roofs
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the Department of Energy (DOE) Publication “Guidelines for Selecting Cool Roofs”, Building Technologies Program, published on July 2010.

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on detecting and regulating equipment leaks and providing repair solutions.
EPA has determined that leaking equipment, such as valves, pumps, and connectors, are the largest source of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile hazardous air pollutants (VHAPs) from petroleum refineries and chemical manufacturing facilities. The Agency has estimated that approximately 70,367 tons per year of VOCs and 9,357 tons per year of HAPs have been emitted from equipment leaks. Emissions from equipment leaks exceed emissions from storage vessels, wastewater, transfer operations, or process vent.
This course identifies some of the problems identified with LDAR (Leak Detection And Repair) programs focusing on Method 21 requirements and will describe the practices that can be used to increase the effectiveness of an LDAR program. Some of the elements of a model LDAR program are required by current Federal regulations and other model LDAR program elements help ensure continuous compliance although they may not be mandated from a regulatory standpoint. Prior to developing a written LDAR program plan, all applicable regulations should be reviewed to determine and ensure compliance with the most stringent requirements.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning about leak detection and repair.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the importance of regulating equipment leaks
- Familiarizing with the major elements of an LDAR program and its importance
- Understanding typical mistakes made when monitoring to detect leaks
- Learning about problems that occur from improper management of an LDAR program
- Exploring a set of best practices that can be used to implement effective an LDAR program

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.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the common definition of ethics regarding engineering
- Learning about the important principles of the engineer’s professional responsibility
- Learning the do’s and don’ts through several ethical and disciplinary cases
