Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental 42 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on environmental quality and protection in the context of existing and proposed border security infrastructure and measures.

 

Border security is an important national priority, and environmental protection in the border region is of critical importance, given the rich natural resource endowments of the region. The shape and form of security infrastructure installed along the border is a critical factor affecting these areas of special concern. Additional installation of security infrastructure along the border will have a large impact on the region, presenting both challenges and opportunities to enhance security while preserving or even improving environmental sustainability.

 

There are mainly five key overlapping challenges in which environmental protection intersects with border security. These include, tourism and recreation economy; habitat integrity and wildlife corridors; water management; flooding, trash and sediment control; Hazmat and emergency response; and air quality.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers who are interested in learning more about improving border security infrastructure while preserving environmental sustainability in the region.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the sources of ozone depleting substances (ODS) in the United States and abroad and defines the best practices for the safe, environmentally sound collection, recovery, transport, and destruction of these substances. In addition, this course explains the challenges associated with the safe destruction of ODS and assesses the costs for the ODS waste management process.

 

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol), finalized in 1987, is a global agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ODS.

 

While the global ODS phaseout is underway, a large amount of ODS is in equipment and products such as refrigerators and air conditioners (as refrigerant and foam blowing agent), foam contained in buildings, and fire protection systems and fire extinguishers, as well as in stockpiles held by countries and industrial and commercial users. Together these sources are referred to as ODS banks.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended for environmental, sustainability, industrial, and mechanical engineers, as well as others interested in learning about the best practices for destruction of ODS.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the appropriate screening and selection of in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) technologies, including steam enhanced extraction injection, electrical resistivity heating, and thermal conductive heating.

 

A significant number of sites are contaminated with high level of organic contaminants. These contaminated sites include hundreds of Federal installations and thousands of private facilities. The contaminants in these sites, especially non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL), have been difficult to treat with conventional technologies such as groundwater extraction, bioremediation and soil vapor extraction. More aggressive technologies have been sought to address these conditions. These technologies include in situ chemical oxidation, surfactant/solvent flushing, and ISTR methods. ISTR methods represent the most aggressive and effective of these techniques.

 

This 9 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers, geologists, hydrogeologist and soil scientists who are interested in improving their knowledge on the appropriate use of in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) technologies.

This online engineering PDH course provides additional information on the appropriate screening, selection and application of in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) technologies including steam enhanced extraction injection, electrical resistivity heating, and thermal conductive heating.

This course is a continuation of “In Situ Thermal Remediation – Part 1” and discusses the design considerations once overall remediation strategies are defined, and presents an overview of case study information, as well as performance monitoring requirements, maintenance, and shutdown criteria that ensure safe and efficient remediation operations.

 

This 9 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers, geologists, hydrogeologist and soil scientists who are interested in expanding their knowledge on the selection and appropriate use of in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) technologies.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for evaluation of the feasibility of in-situ air sparging (IAS) for remediation of contaminated groundwater and soil. This course also describes design and operational considerations for IAS systems.

 

In-Situ Air Sparging (IAS) is a rapidly emerging remediation technology for treating contaminants in saturated zone soils and groundwater. It is a relatively easy technology to implement and it is well known to regulatory agencies. IAS involves the injection of air, pure oxygen, or other gases below the water table which may result in the removal of contaminants through volatilization or bioremediation. In a less common application, IAS can also be used to immobilize contaminants through chemical changes such as precipitation.

 

This 14 PDH online course is intended for civil and environmental engineers as well as other technical professionals interested in learning about the design, operation, and feasibility of IAS systems.

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. This course also provides a general overview on PEGNL’s procedure of filing an allegation, its resolution by Registrar and its referral to Complaints Authorization Committee. It will also present unique ethical case studies randomly selected to demonstrate ethical challenges for professional engineers and alternatives to address these challenges.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to Professional Engineers licensed in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in ethical practice as a condition of their license renewal. For each renewal period, every licensee must complete at least two (2) professional development hours relative to the principals of professional responsibility, conduct and ethics.
