air pollutant emission discharges when modifying, reactivating, or relocating
existing emission sources. State and federal regulatory agencies provide
outlines, checklists, instructions, blank forms, environmental rules, and
resource information to guide the permit writer. Permit applications are
processed more efficiently when the technical information is based on sound
engineering principles. The duties, tasks, and responsibilities of the
engineer start with developing clear descriptions of the planned new or
modified equipment, process changes, or air pollution control equipment based
upon Information from qualified suppliers, from state and federal regulatory
agency guidance documents, and from environmental rule requirements. After
determining the specific reasons for the permit application, the engineer
alone or as a part of a work team will collect data and details for the
changes planned at the facility; calculate production capacities, emissions,
and air pollution control equipment efficiencies; prepare site, process, and
equipment drawings; compare the environmental plans with existing information
available from many state agencies and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), complete the required permit application forms, and
provide the assembly in the checklist order specified by the specific
reviewing agency. This course will enable the student to learn the
engineering tasks, duties, and responsibilities that apply to the preparation
of air permit applications meeting the requirements of state and federal
regulatory agencies. |

actually delivers 50 horsepower to its load. The load itself determines the
horsepower needed to drive it, and whatever motor is connected to that load
will try to deliver the power that the load demands. Spotting overloaded
motors can help you avoid motor burnouts whereas spotting underloaded motors
can lead to downsizing and reduced operating costs. |

Continuing Education Unit for Contractor (GC): 0.3 CEU AIA Learning Unit for Architect (RA): 3 LU |
Online Course Price: $89 |
PDH Course Description: To safeguard propane installations, the NFPA and the US EPA have developed the FSA and O&M instructions that all-applicable propane facilities must comply within a certain time frame. In some states a licensed professional engineer must fully understand and prepare the FSA plan. The 2001 edition of the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPA) Pamphlet 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code requires a written Fire Safety Analysis (FSA) and written Operations & Maintenance Instructions. These requirements originated at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Risk Management Program (RMP). The NFPA 58 requirements are much less restrictive than what the EPA originally proposed. The requirement for a written (FSA) for all tank installations over 4,000 gallons aggregate capacity becomes effective when your State adopts the 2001 edition NFPA 58, section 3.10, Fire Protection. New propane bulk plants and tank installations and for ASME tank installations on roofs, must complete an FSA before completion of the new facility. Also, a written FSA is required for all-existing bulk plants, tanks and roof installations by three years after the effective date of the code. In North Carolina, a professional engineer registered in North Carolina must prepare the FSA. Other guidelines for an alternative FSA come under the NC Department of Agriculture. The other RMP-like requirements are found in the new Chapter 11 of NFPA 58, Operations and Maintenance. This requires written procedures for safely conducting LP-Gas activities at bulk and industrial plants. Also, these procedures must be kept up to date. Similarly, maintenance procedures must be prepared and implemented. These must be made available to contractors coming on site to do maintenance. Be sure to look at NFPA 58, Appendix A, sections A.11.2.1 and A.11.2.2 for some guidance for what is expected in these procedures and what you may use to help you prepare them. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end. |

Online Course Price: $89 |
PDH Course Description: This course provides the user with an overview of incident investigation. The motivation for this course is to outline a procedure of incident investigation that is objective and satisfies most regulatory requirements. Many incident investigations and reports are done with prejudice. Conclusions and recommendations are often predetermined to suit the goals of the investigators. This could occur intentionally or unintentionally. In this course an effort is made to present a means to minimize the bias that can enter an investigation. Also, an incident investigation procedure/format that is in general compliance with OSHA/EPA regulations is difficult to find. One can usually obtain from OSHA or EPA an outline for an investigation procedure. These usually do not have much practical value in that they are usually for a specific regulation or simply outline the procedure that OSHA or EPA agents should use for their own investigations. Most facilities must comply with multiple investigation/reporting requirements as listed in various OSHA and EPA regulations. This course outlines a general procedure designed to comply with most OSHA and EPA regulations. It is not possible to ensure compliance with ALL regulations; however, by following the guidelines in this course one should be able to minimize repeat investigations and reports. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end. |

in the mid-eighteenth century. This initial advance led to the development of
the new discipline of seismology in the nineteenth century, and by the late
nineteenth century sufficient progress had been made to develop standardized
scales to characterize the shaking severity of earthquakes. With the advent
of the twentieth century and the development of instruments that capture and
record the ground motion generated by earthquakes, it became possible to
eventually develop the Richter magnitude scale. |

Continuing Education Unit for Contractor (GC): 0.6 CEU AIA Learning Unit for Architect (RA): 6 LU |
Online Course Price: $149 |
PDH Course Description: This course provides guidance in applying
statistical principles to the analysis of hydrologic data based on the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' Design Manual on Hydrologic Frequency Analysis. The
manual illustrates, by example, many of the statistical techniques
appropriate for hydrologic problems. The basic theory is usually not
provided, but references are provided for those who wish to research the
techniques in more detail. Frequency estimates of hydrologic, climatic and
economic data are required for the planning, design and evaluation of water
management plans. These plans may consist of combinations of structural
measures such as reservoirs, levees, channels, pumping plants, hydroelectric
power plants, etc., and nonstructural measures such as flood proofing,
zoning, insurance programs, water use priorities, etc. The data to be
analyzed could be streamflows, precipitation amounts, sediment loads, river
stages, lake stages, storm surge levels, flood damage, water demands, etc.
The probability estimates from these data are used in evaluating the
economic, social and environmental effects of the proposed management action.
The objective of frequency analysis in a hydrologic context is to infer the
probability that various size events will be exceeded or not exceeded from a
given sample of recorded events. Two basic problems exist for most hydrologic
applications. First the sample is usually small, by statistical standards,
resulting in uncertainty as to the true probability. And secondly, a single
theoretical frequency distribution does not always fit a particular data-type
equally well in all applications. This manual provides guidance in fitting
frequency distributions and construction of confidence limits. Techniques are
presented which can possibly reduce the errors caused by small sample sizes.
Also, some types of data are noted which usually do not fit any theoretical
distributions. |

PDH Course Description: It is fair to say that the body of common
law is more comprehensive than statute law, it covers more ground. Therefore
it is probable that a practicing surveyor will find more frequent recourse to
common law. Unfortunately common law is not as conveniently documented, as is
statute law. Luckily it is comprised of the principles established from cases
that have been submitted by parties to legal actions so one way to discover
their element is to study those cases. It is often through them that
principles currently in force have been built. |

PDH Course Description: Course Description The Global Positioning System (GPS) has revolutionized the fields of navigation, mapping and surveying. It is now routinely possible to know your location within about 10 meters (30 feet) anywhere in the world with inexpensive, hand-held commercial GPS receivers. It is also possible to use GPS for surveying at sub-centimeter accuracy, for control and monitoring of construction equipment and agricultural machinery, guidance of autonomous robots, and aircraft, vehicle and marine navigation. This course provides an explanation of how the GPS system works, sources of errors, and methods used for improving the basic accuracy of the system, including Differential GPS. The wide range of GPS applications is reviewed and the main types and features of GPS receivers are discussed. The terminology used in manufacturer’s specification sheets is explained so you can compare various units. Finally, the course summarizes what you, the potential user, need to understand in order to select the appropriate equipment for the intended use. As such, the principles and concepts presented here are equally useful to all types of engineers, constructors, architects, contractors, building inspectors, surveyors, scientists, and the general public. The course outline is presented below:
The course is approximately 40 pages long including one Table and 17 Figures. A glossary of the most commonly used terms and acronyms is provided as a reference document. A multiple choice quiz is available online. Performance Objectives At the end of this course, you should understand the operation of the GPS system at a level sufficient to use GPS receivers for navigation and general positioning applications. You will be familiar with the meanings of the words and acronyms most commonly used in GPS literature, sales brochures, and manufacturer’s specification sheets. You will know what questions to ask potential vendors about their GPS equipment and how to decide what features you may need for your intended uses. You will also be familiar with the sources of error affecting GPS accuracy, how to improve the accuracy to the level you need, and the options available for accessing Differential GPS corrections. |

PDH Course Description: Surveyors and engineers have traditionally
used the term vertical curve to describe the use of parabolic curves in
design work. They are used for transitions from one straight grade to another
in designing crowns for pavements, routes such as highways and railways, as
well as dam spillways, landscape design and of course roller coasters.
Preparing the calculations necessary to use vertical curves are based on a
few principles, once those are clearly in mind vertical curves are a breeze.
This online course teaches some of the calculations involved in creating and
analyzing vertical curves. It is direct in its descriptions of the why and
how of these parabolic curves. |
