New Brunswick Hydrology & Ethics/Regulatory 30 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of the occurrence and movement of groundwater. Procedures for planning and managing a site characterization and modeling study are then presented. This is followed by chapters addressing the technical aspects of field investigative methods and computer modeling. A final chapter discussing the interaction of groundwater and surface water is then presented.

Since it is not possible to provide specific instructions and/or specific procedures that are universally applicable to every situation that may be encountered, this course emphasizes the use of sound judgment and the development of a good understanding of basic groundwater concepts rather than providing specific guidelines.

This 9 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the study and analysis of groundwater flow.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance in hydrologic analysis of interior areas for planning, design investigations, and flood risk reduction.

Floods have social, environmental, and economic consequences and they directly impact people and communities. Some of the immediate impacts of flooding includes loss of human life, loss of livestock, and damages to properties and crops.

This course provides information of interest to planners and designers of interior system involving flood loss reduction measures and actions. Interior area investigations are differentiated from other studies only by the uniqueness of the hydrologic analysis requirements for the flood loss reduction measures commonly used. Interior area planning studies are an essential aspects of feasibility studies.

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

Part 4 presents the basic hydrologic engineering studies, focusing on spillways and outlet works, dam freeboard requirements, dam-break analysis, channel capacity as well as real estate and right-of-way studies.

Dam failures can be caused by overtopping a dam due to insufficient spillway capacity during large inflows to the reservoir. This often occurs by seepage or piping through the dam or along internal conduits, slope embankment slides, earthquake damage and liquefaction of earthen dams from earthquakes, or landslide-generated waves within the reservoir.

Spillways and outlet works are necessary to provide capability to release an adequate rate of water from the reservoir to satisfy dam safety and water control management of the project. Furthermore, a freeboard protects the dam and embankment integrity from overflow and excessive wave overtopping caused by various factors. This course will cover all of these topics in great detail.

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.

This online engineering PDH course will enable you to calculate peak storm water runoff rate using the Rational Method equation in either U.S. or S.I. units, including determination of runoff coefficient, calculation of time of concentration, and determination of design rainfall intensity.  It will also prepare you for the use of Excel spreadsheets to efficiently make the calculations.

Calculation of peak storm water runoff rate from a drainage area is often done with the Rational Method equation (Q = CiA).  Use of Excel spreadsheets for calculations with this equation and for determination of the design rainfall intensity and the time of concentration of the drainage area, are included in this course.  The parameters in the equations are defined with typical units for both U.S. and S.I. units.

This 1 PDH online course is applicable primarily to civil engineers, hydraulic engineers, highway engineers, and environmental engineers, design professionals, technical and construction personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the rational method hydrologic calculations using Excel.

This online engineering PDH ethics course presents the principles of engineering ethics and statutes for New Brunswick Professional Engineers.

Engineering has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people, which is why it is important for engineers to put the interests and safety of the public ahead of their own, and maintain honesty and integrity at all times. Accordingly, several guidelines were established to help engineers conduct themselves ethically in their line of duty.

This course will address the code of ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession. This course also provides an overview of APEGNB’s general statutes and regulatory laws. It will also present unique and randomly selected ethical studies to demonstrate ethical challenges for professional engineers and alternatives to address these challenges.
