C Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment
D Design and Maintenance of Gravel Roads This eight-hour engineering course addresses the maintenance and design of gravel roads. Unpaved surfaces make up a sizable percentage of both domestic roads, as well as roads abroad; therefore, the administration and maintenance of these road systems can be an enormous task. Most of the maintenance duties of these road systems fall on local authorities, although much of the remaining responsibilities lie with state highway agencies.

C Community Rating Systems: An Overview This course is designed to fulfill professional development requirements for professional engineers. The objective of this course is to provide students with an overview of the Community Rating System for stormwater management, which is part of the National Flood Insurance Program. Information from this course was taken from FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System. Class Format: Online On-Demand, Online PDF Offered In: AK, AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY 3 hours Concrete and Masonry Wall Buildings: Earthquake Repairs for Engineers The purpose of this course is to present practical guidance for the repair and upgrading of earthquake-damaged buildings with primary lateral-force-resisting systems consisting of concrete bearing walls, masonry bearing walls, or infilled frames. The guidance consists of a policy framework for facilitating the determination of the appropriate scope of repair or upgrading measures. The course also includes outlines of specific repair techniques that can address the component damage common to these buildings. The criteria and procedures are based on the evaluation of the anticipated seismic performance of a subject building at three different times: a) in its condition immediately before the damaging earthquake (pre-event) b) in its damaged condition c) in its repaired or upgraded condition Class Format: Online Offered In: All 50 states, Washington, D.C.,Guam, Virgin Islands, & Puerto Rico 3 hours
C Concrete Hydraulic Structures: Evaluations for Earthquake Scenarios This course was designed to fulfill professional development requirements for civil engineers and will focus on the evaluation of earthquake designs for concrete hydraulic structures. Through equations and illustrative figures, you will learn the necessary procedures that are most commonly used in the evaluation of earthquake design. (Information was obtained through the United States Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, and ACI.) Class Format: Online On-Demand, Online PDF Offered In: AK, AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY 4 hours
This course focuses on the use of constructed wetlands used to treat wastewater from confined livestock and agricultural operations. It addresses the three most common types of waste treatment wetlands (SF, SSF, and FAP), the treatment processes, the role of vegetation in the treatment, the benefits and concerns of using CW’s, planning and design considerations, as well as procedural,
operational, and maintenance requirements. Class Format: Online On-Demand, Online PDF
Offered In: AK, AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY 6 hours Critical Facilities and High Wind Safety This course is designed to fulfill continuing education credits in health, safety and welfare for professional architects. This course will cover identifying critical facilities and evaluating their risk for damage caused by high winds. It will then explore various methods of making critical facilities safe from damage caused by high winds. By completing this course, the learner will better understand strategies for mitigating and preventing wind damage to critical facilities.
