Newfoundland and Labrador Mechanical & Ethics/Regulatory 30 PDH Discount Package 2

This online engineering PDH course provides a fundamental understanding of the purpose, types and operation of various mechanical equipment that have widespread applications in many facilities. This equipment includes cooling towers, air compressors, hydraulic systems, boilers, demineralizers, pressurizers, steam traps, filters and strainers. In addition, this course describes the safety hazards associated with certain types of components.

This 5 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and chemical engineers, nuclear facility operators, maintenance personnel, and other technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the operation of the different mechanical equipment.

This online engineering course presents the basic principles of hydraulics and pneumatics along with their various components followed by discussing the maintenance procedures associated with these systems.

In automotive and construction equipment, the terms “hydraulic” and “pneumatic” describe a method of transmitting power from one place to another through the use of a liquid or a gas which obey certain physical laws and principles discussed in this course.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the six simple machines: the lever, the block, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the screw and the gear. When you familiarize with the principles of these simple machines, you can readily understand the operation of complex machines.

A machine is any device that helps you to do work. It may help by changing the amount of force or the speed of action. Machines may also be used to change the direction of a force or in other cases transform energy; for example, a generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. Complex machines are basically combinations of two or more simple machines.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, manufacturers and anyone interested to gain an understanding of basic machine operation.

This online engineering PDH course covers the basic operating principles of pumps, discusses their different types, and explains their installation and maintenance methodologies. This course also presents the auxiliary components such as the different types of valves, piping and other accessories typically used in pump systems.

A pump is a device that uses an external source of power to force the fluid to move from one place to another. A pump develops no energy of its own; it merely transforms energy from the external source, such as a gasoline or electric motor, into mechanical kinetic energy, which is manifested by the motion of the fluid.

A valve is any device used to control fluids in a closed system, and is typed or classified according to its use in a system. This course will discuss valve construction and the most common types of valves used in the industry.

The control and application of fluid power would be impossible without a suitable means of conveying the fluid from the power source to the point of application. Fluid lines used for this purpose are called piping. They must be designed and installed with the same care applicable to other components of the system. To obtain this desired result, attention must be given to the various types, materials, and sizes of lines available for the fluid power system.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the different types of materials used in the construction of seals.

Sealing devices and materials prevent leakage, and contain pressure or exclude contamination between components. The two most common classifications of seals are gaskets and packings. There are many commercial types and forms of packing and gasket materials.

This course discusses the different shapes and designs of seals and their application as gaskets and/or packings in fluid power systems. Lastly, sections concerning the functions of wipers and scrapers in fluid power systems and the selection, storage, and handling of sealing devices are presented.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers and other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about the common sealing devices and materials.

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the different types of fire protection systems and presents guidelines for periodic inspection and maintenance procedures of these systems.

Fire protection systems are designed to extinguish fires as quick as possible to prevent the loss of lives and property. When fire suppression systems are installed, the system would control, put out any fire that may result and signal the fire department. However, in the absence of similar systems, any building could be severely damaged or completely destroyed before the fire department could respond.

There are several types of fire protection systems. Each system is designed to serve in specific locations and has its unique components and functioning characteristics. And in order to ensure that these systems are safe and reliable, periodic inspection and maintenance of their components is required.

This online engineering PDH course presents the basics of motor and drive systems and briefly describes important terms, relationships, and system design considerations. It also describes key factors involved in motor and drive selection and system design, and provides an overview of the different types of motors and drives and their applications.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers, designers, contractors, building professionals and manufacturers who are involved with motor and drive systems.

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

Engineering ethics 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. This course also provides an overview of PEGNL’s general statutes and regulatory laws. It will also present unique ethical studies randomly selected to demonstrate ethical challenges for professional engineers and alternatives to address these challenges.
