Incinerator Emissions and Permitting - 3 PDH
This course describes and quantifies whenever possible the air pollution particulate emissions which are the direct result of the incineration process. The incineration process consists of burning solid, semisolid, liquid, or gaseous waste to produce …
Impressed Current Cathodic - 3 PDH
This course provides an introduction to impressed current cathodic protection systems. There are two principle methods of providing cathodic protection: sacrificial anode and impressed current. The primary advantage of impressed current cathodic …
Hydroelectric Power Plant Structures - 3 PDH
The course discusses location, configuration and design considerations for hydroelectric powerhouses. The factors affecting the location include: Location of the spillway (when powerhouse is located adjacent to the dam). Location of navigation locks (on …
Hydraulic Jumps and Non-Uniform Open Channel Flow - 2 PDH
Many examples of open channel flow can be approximated as uniform flow allowing the Manning equation to be used. Non-uniform flow calculations are needed, however, in some open channel flow situations, where the flow is clearly non-uniform. The concepts …
Hydraulic Design of Sewers - 3 PDH
This course will introduce you to the principles of hydraulic design of sanitary sewers. You will learn how to calculate quantities of wastewater, the approach to design of gravity and depressed sewers, required pumping capacity, hydrogen sulfide gas …
Hydraulic Design of Culverts - 3 PDH
This course will introduce you to a nomographic approach to hydraulic design of culverts. Culverts are hydraulic structures intended to convey, generally, stormwater and other unanticipated flows in and around earth and other structures such as highways, …
How To Become Registered as an Architectural Engineer - 3 PDH
Engineers who have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) registration examination (formerly called the Engineer-in-Training….EIT exam) or both the FE and the Principles and Practices of Engineering (PE) registration examination in another discipline …
Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement - 5 PDH
This course will tell you about hot-mix asphalt often used for high-performance pavements. The degree of performance required should be selected based on traffic conditions and the availability of satisfactory materials.
High Temperature Water Heating Plants - 5 PDH
This course will introduce you to systems, equipment and design guidelines for high temperature water (HTW) heating plants. HTW systems are used for heating multi-building facilities such as campuses and industrial and commercial activities. The advantage …
Geotextiles in Pavement and Drainage Applications - 2 PDH

Geometrics for Roads and Streets - 3 PDH
This courses discusses the geometric design criteria for roads and streets. It sets forth the approaches and traffic flow criteria for guidance in determining types and configurations best suited for construction.
Gas Distribution - 3 PDH
This course contains instructions and engineering information relating to gas distribution pipe systems, including pressure regulators, valves, meters, and other necessary appurtenances, for the distribution of fuel gas, natural and manufactured, from the …
Fuel Cells Green Power - 3 PDH
Fuel cells are not just laboratory curiosities. While there is much work that needs to be done to optimize the fuel cell system (remember, the gasoline internal combustion engine is nearly 120 years old and still being improved), hydrogen fuel cell …
Foundations on Fill and Backfilling - 3 PDH
Foundations may be constructed on fills and backfilled material. Fills may include conventional compacted fills; hydraulic fills; and uncontrolled fills of soils or industrial and domestic wastes, such as ashes, slag, chemical wastes, building rubble, and …
Foundations In Areas of Significant Frost Penetration - 3 PDH
Areas of significant frost penetration may be defined as those in which freezing temperatures occur in the ground to sufficient depth to be a significant factor in foundation design. These areas may be further characterized as seasonal frost and …
Flow Measurements in Pipes and Ducts - 3 PDH
This course is about measurement of the flow rate of a fluid flowing under pressure in a closed conduit. The closed conduit is often circular, but also may be square or rectangular (such as a heating duct) or any other shape. The other major category of …
