| Online Course Price: $249 |
| PDH Course Description: This course provides painting guidance to engineering, operations, maintenance, and construction personnel and other individuals responsible for the protection of structures based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Manual on Painting - New Construction And Maintenance. It gives broad-base instructions on corrosion and corrosion protection using protective coating and state-of-the-art procedures that can be employed on Corps and other civil projects, which can aid in attaining better and, from a long-range viewpoint, more economical paint jobs. Although this manual is not intended to be a general textbook on coatings and coatings application, the complexity of the modern coatings field justifies something more than a bare, utilitarian approach to the presentation of useful information. Therefore, moderately detailed discussions of coating materials and characteristics of applied coating systems are included, even though their immediate usefulness may not be apparent to those who are interested only in "practical" information. Materials such as galvanizing, metallizing, and protective tapes are also discussed even though they are not commonly considered paints or coatings. The inclusion of these subjects illustrates that the protection of metal surfaces cannot logically be divided into precise, independent subjects. Because this manual will be used extensively as a reference it includes a complete topic index to facilitate locating specific information. In addition, Appendices will help locate references to particular standard specifications. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

| Online Course Price: $349 |
| PDH Course Description: This course provides engineers and contractors with guidance for the safe design and economical construction of retaining and flood walls based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Design Manual on Retaining and Flood Walls. This manual is intended primarily for retaining walls which will be subjected to hydraulic loadings such as flowing water, submergence, wave action, and spray, exposure to chemically contaminated atmosphere, and/or severe climatic conditions. Retaining walls are defined as any wall that restrains material to maintain a difference in elevation. A flood wall is defined as any wall having as its principal function the prevention of flooding of adjacent land. This course describes procedures for the design of retaining and flood walls on shallow foundations, i.e., bearing directly on rock or soil. A flood wall is treated as a special case of a retaining wall. Unless specifically noted, the guidance herein applies to both retaining and flood walls. Both geotechnical and structural aspects of wall design are included. Coordination between geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, and geologists in the design of retaining and flood walls is essential. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

| Online Course Price: $149 |
| PDH Course Description: This course provides guidance for the safe design and economical construction of sheet pile retaining and flood walls based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Design Manual on Design of Sheet Pile Walls. This manual provides information on foundation exploration and testing procedures, analysis techniques, allowable criteria, design procedures, and construction consideration for the selection, design, and installation of sheet pile walls. The guidance is based on the present state of the technology for sheet pile-soil-structure interaction behavior. This course provides design guidance intended specifically for the geotechnical and structural engineer. It also provides essential information for others interested in sheet pile walls such as the construction engineer in understanding construction techniques related to sheet pile wall behavior during installation. Since the understanding of the physical causes of sheet pile wall behavior is actively expanding by better definition through ongoing research, prototype, model sheet pile wall testing and development of more refined analytical models, this manual is intended to provide examples and procedures of what has been proven successful. This is not the last nor final word on the state of the art for this technology. We expect, as further practical design and installation procedures are developed from the expansion of this technology, that these updates will be issued as changes to this manual. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

| Professional Development Hour for Engineer (PE): 3 PDH Professional Development Unit for Land Surveyor (LS, PLS): 3 PDU |
| Continuing Education Unit for Contractor (GC): 0.3 CEU AIA Learning Unit for Architect (RA): 3 LU |
| Online Course Price: $89 |
| PDH Course Description: This three-hour course discusses the types of air permits that will be needed to comply with state and federal regulations. Requirements for filing air permit applications will be required for new facilities at new sites, new installations at existing sites, and changes that include modifications, reactivations, or relocations of existing emission sources. Since 1990, the EPA has been proposing and promulgating maximum achievable control technology (MACT) rules for the title V facilities that will result in changes to existing facilities just to comply. The MACT rule changes pioneered the concept of process changes as well as air pollution control equipment changes for compliance. The current requirements for air permitting now include existing facilities that will need to change processes or add-on air pollution control equipment. Permits are categorized as major, medium, and minor depending upon the category of the facility and the quantities of air pollutant emissions generated annually. This course will enable the student to comprehend the types of permits necessary when changing existing facility emission sources or adding new emission sources. Understanding these air permits will also enable the student to select the permit type for the facility. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

| 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 six-hour online course discusses the types of engineering skills, duties, and responsibilities generally applied to the preparation of air permit applications. Filing air permit applications will be required for installing new facilities at new sites, installing new equipment or increasing production capacity at existing sites, and changing 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. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |
