P Project Management for the Engineer In the early stages of project planning, the project team, led by the project manager (PM), develops a number of tools used throughout the project to assess achievement toward goals, control the budget, assure quality, and minimize risk. Primary among these planning documents is the project management plan (PMP), a comprehensive encapsulation of project details, documenting project activities, deliverables, and timeline covering all phases of the project cycle.

New London School Tragedy: Gas & Boiler Analysis
Observations on the Performance of Critical Facilities This course presents some observations on the
R Residential Storm Rooms
This course’s objectives are to provide Professional Engineers with an understanding of the New London Texas School explosion in 1937 that changed Professional Engineering in Texas. The significance of this catastrophic event went without much attention for many decades due to the pain that it dredged up for the victims and their families. Now a staple discussion topic in ethics and incident learning in Texas, many are discovering this incident’s value for all engineers. This course will reframe the original incident investigation discussing the official Texas Militia commissions report to the forty-sixth session of the Texas Congress. Standards for gas line construction, odorization of heating and cooking gases, the establishment of the first Professional Engineering licensing board in Texas, and other state regulations were created. In the final portion of this training, the author utilizes modern root cause analysis to determine if all avenues of inquiry were covered. A comparison of the most recent and the original incident review is summarized to allow the student to determine if everything that could be done was performed.
