British Columbia Hydrology 19 PDH Discount Package

In this online engineering PDH course several aspects of open channel flow will be presented, discussed and illustrated with examples.  The main topic of this course is uniform open channel flow, in which the channel slope, liquid velocity and liquid depth remain constant.  First, however, several ways of classifying open channel flow will be presented and discussed briefly.

 

Flow of a liquid may take place either as open channel flow or pressure flow.  Pressure flow takes place in a closed conduit such as a pipe, and pressure is the primary driving force for the flow.  For open channel flow, on the other hand the flowing liquid has a free surface at atmospheric pressure and the driving force is gravity.  Open channel flow takes place in natural channels like rivers and streams.  It also occurs in manmade channels such as those used to transport wastewater and in circular sewers flowing partially full.

 

This 2 PDH  online course is intended for hydrologists, civil engineers, hydraulic engineers, highway engineers and environmental engineers.  After completing this course you will have knowledge about the basic nature of flow in open channels and the common ways of classifying open channel flow (laminar or turbulent, steady state or unsteady state, uniform or non-uniform, and critical, subcritical or supercritical).  Practice in the use of the Manning equation for a variety of uniform open channel flow calculations will be gained through several worked examples.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the hydrologic engineering investigations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.

 

Part 1 presents the basic hydrologic concepts for reservoirs including reservoir purposes and basic hydrologic concerns and methods.

 

The water resource system is a system that may consists of reservoirs, power plants, diversion structures, channels, and conveyance facilities that are each constructed for specific objectives and operated together as a system. This system should be designed and operated for the most effective and efficient accomplishment of overall objectives using mathematical models and simulation.

 

A reservoir is the artificial body of water that forms adjacent to a storage dam. Multipurpose reservoirs are reservoirs that serve more than one purpose including generating hydroelectric power, providing flood control, storing water, enabling irrigation, and providing recreational opportunities.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers as well as others interested in expanding their knowledge on the hydrologic engineering considerations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.

Part 2 presents hydrologic data and various analytical methods.

 

Hydrologic analysis is used to simulate the hydrological process, study the hydrological characteristics and forecast the surface hydrological situation by establishing the water system model. The analysis helps in determining the scope of the flood, showing the runoff pollution sources, and predicting geomorphological change on runoff. Hydrologic analysis is widely used in regional planning, agriculture, disaster prediction, and many other fields and industries.

Part 3 presents the storage requirements for various project purposes.

 

In general, reservoir flood storage is considered when flood damage at a number of locations on a river can be significantly reduced by the construction of one or more reservoirs. It is also considered when a reservoir site immediately upstream from one damage center provides more economical flood risk management than local flood risk management works.

 

Whenever such reservoirs can serve needs other than flood risk management, the integrated design and operation of the project for multipurpose use should be considered. The water stored in the conservation pool can serve many purposes, including water supply, navigation, fish and wildlife, and hydroelectric power. This course covers the storage requirements for various project purposes.

 

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers as well as others interested in expanding their knowledge on the hydrologic engineering considerations for the planning and design of reservoir projects.

This online engineering PDH ethics course is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).

 

This course will address the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession. It will also present unique ethical case studies randomly selected to demonstrate ethical challenges for professional engineers and alternatives to address these challenges.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the Province of British Columbia and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete at least one (1) professional development hour relative to the principals of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
