E Energy: Its Effect on our World and Lives The objective of this course is to provide the student with information regarding the effect of energy in our society, and roles engineers can play in making sure we have a secure energy future. It assesses the future impact of each major energy source – oil, wind, solar, and nuclear – and it articulates a role for engineers in energy conservation. 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 Engineering and Surveying - an Uncommon Language This course is intended to be of benefit to both surveyors and engineers by removing one of the most common roadblocks to effective collaboration, communication. The class will dissect a design project considering both engineer and surveyor perspectives and discuss specific issues that can (will) arise. Although this class examines a land development project the subject matter and lessons learned are applicable to any surveyor/engineer interactions.

E Engineering Ethics: Kansas City Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse The objectives of this course are to introduce you to a catastrophic event that occurred in 1981 claiming the lives of 114 people. Some engineers have called this event the tragedy that changed Professional Engineering in America forever. This single event propelled ethics into every state licensing board in the United States. This training module will guide the Professional Engineer through the NSPE code of ethics along with both actual and hypothetical situations related to this incident.

D Design of Onsite (Septic) Wastewater Treatment Systems The safe treatment and disposal of wastewater are critically important actions to protect the public from disease-causing germs and parasites. Approximately 21% of United States home use and an unknown percentage of other non-residential users rely on onsite wastewater treatment systems to provide safe disposal of their wastewater. We will present a brief history on the growth of onsite wastewater treatment from pit privies to today’s advanced wastewater treatment systems and the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the states when it is proposed for use. We will explain in detail the different components, types, and methods of onsite wastewater treatment systems. There will be a detailed explanation of the importance of in-situ soil to the safe operation of onsite systems, along with some of the evaluation practices used to determine soil characteristics. The importance of the proper operation, maintenance, and planning in protecting groundwater from onsite effluent will also be covered.

D Design Storms: An Overview
This course is designed to provide students with an overview of the concepts of design storms used in hydrologic design applications. The course will cover different methods for estimating design rainfall depths and intensities at a specific point and over different areas of drainage basins or catchments. Design charts and tables are presented with detailed descriptions of their usage. Coverage of different methods used to derive storm hyetographs is provided. Last, you will explore the NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2 and the newest information available.

Compliance to energy code guidelines and standards can be achieved by following a three-step approach. In this course, you will learn which three steps allow to lay the foundation for compliant engineering design that avoid unnecessary change orders and save energy and client resources.
