Risk Management and Legal Exposure in Engineering Projects
This online engineering CPD course examines the principles and practices of risk management and legal exposure in engineering projects.
Engineering risk arises when project outcomes may deviate from expectations due to incomplete information, design assumptions, contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, or environmental uncertainties.
Engineering projects involve technical, contractual, regulatory, and professional risks that require systematic identification, assessment, and management to reduce liability, prevent disputes, and support successful project delivery.
This course covers professional liability, contract law, regulatory compliance, risk assessment methods, dispute resolution, and emerging risks associated with AI, BIM, and drones. It also emphasizes international legal considerations and practical approaches for managing risk and legal exposure throughout engineering projects.
This 2 CPD online course is applicable to civil and mechanical engineers, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about engineering risk management and legal considerations.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with key categories of risk encountered in engineering projects
- Understanding how U.S. legal and regulatory systems apply to engineering practice
- Learning how risk assessment tools such as HAZOP and FMEA are used in engineering projects
- Understanding risk-related contract clauses and insurance options for managing engineering exposure
