discharge pipe design because this is where continuing operational economics
come to bear: Engineering know-how regarding pipe size and configuration in
an attempt to optimize installed cost versus long-term power consumption is
emphasized here. However, just as important are sump design, suction piping
design, suction pipe size, and suction pipe support. These are all critical
considerations when proper and successful pump operation is at stake. It is
here on the suction side of the pump that chronic problems within the pump
are perpetuated and sometimes magnified. From this side blossoms the cost
associated with maintenance, reliability, and lost production due to
downtime. This course focuses on the sometimes neglected and often overlooked
aspects of pumping fundamental practices that comprise good suction
arrangements. |

PDH Course Description: A little known fact is that less than 5% of
the lawsuits filed ever make it to trial. Yes, 5%. Some are dropped, some are
settled along the way, and a larger percentage are settled the week before
trail or settled on the courthouse steps. Settlement, late in the game, is
after you have already spent 95% of your legal fees - money that could have
been used towards a settlement offer. Unfortunately, on the courthouse steps,
that money is already sunk cost. The earlier you settle, the more legal cost
you are able to avoid and there is more money available for settlement. This
does not take into account the cost of the parties' internal time and
expense, which can run as high as the legal cost. Time wasted that could be
spent on more productive activities such as securing new business or
executing existing business. |

PDH Course Description: Today, industry is embracing a bold, new
view of the process of management. Change, driven by the desire and pressure
to improve, creates short-term objectives. These short-term objectives
require us to improve upon all aspects of operations, including our
traditional management techniques. These objectives, which we call
"projects", define unique, one time tasks requiring workers from
many disciplines. Projects are usually too large and complex to be executed,
effectively within the traditional, functional management organization.
Therefore, a new organizational form, called project management, has emerged.
This results-oriented, roll up your sleeves, course is designed for project
managers, functional managers and key project team members. In other words,
this course is for the very people who are accountable and responsible for
achieving predetermined multi-disciplinary project performance objectives on
schedule, within allocated cost while delighting customers! Personnel, who
support projects, either directly or indirectly, should also take this
course. |

PDH Course Description: In today's shrinking world with increasing
competition and the financial markets' increasing pressure on corporate
earnings, project managers are being required to meet customer satisfaction,
profitability, cash flow and company strategic goals all at the same time.
Although the push for better, faster, cheaper has always been around, we as
project managers have generally been able to live within the world that has
been our projects with little regard for the goings on outside our projects.
But organizations are constantly being challenged and changed - flatten,
downsized, merged, etc. - in the ultimate game to increase shareholder value.
As many organizations are becoming more project-based, it is imperative that
the project manager understand not only the best ways to execute within his
projects but also how these projects fit in to the financial and strategic
objectives of the company as a whole. |

PDH Course Description: Of the numerous types of architecture/engineering design that are commonly practiced, successful retail and other short-cycle design programs require specific strategies. The nature of these programs favors timeliness with minimal design cost, typically sacrificing individual project creativity to satisfy owner desires for speed and efficiency. Many owners facilitate this type of design through a number of methods not commonly associated with commercial or other more customized design: development of standardized criteria drawing sets, establishment of expected fee structures, provision of standard construction specifications, establishment of national accounts for specialized design or equipment and providing varying levels of owner-employed staff to oversee institution and quality control of such standards. For new or seasoned design firms, producing designs that meet owner expectations of these standards can be challenging. Added to these challenges are the nuances that arise when a single design firm strives to please multiple owners whose final constructed facilities are very similar, but whose standardized design and construction procedures differ. This lesson covers a number of topics and strategies to help the design professional achieve success in this quick-moving market segment. The goal of this lesson is to present a number of different topics that should be considered by firms involved in retail or short cycle design. As opposed to a how-to manual, it instead attempts to be a thought-provoking endeavor. It is most effective when each subsection is approached with the attitude of "Have we considered that…if already implemented are there ways of making it better?" This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: Construction Layout Part 1 presents “Foundational
Principles for Success.” It conveys knowledge that’s taken decades of
experience to learn – information and principles that most who know such
things won’t share freely with others. ‘Trade Secrets’ may be too strong a
term for what’s conveyed in this course, but much of the information is at
least of the flavor of trade secrets. Success at construction layout is not
achieved through technical expertise or measuring skills alone. Construction
Layout exposes the architect, engineer or surveyor to a culture different
from its own – to priorities and viewpoints unique to its genre, to a team
experience requiring cooperation, effort and communications quite different
from most other interactions within the professional design team. |

professional cannot be a good construction manager without comprehending the
documents that are organized to create a construction contract. The
construction contract is often misinterpreted, misused or blatantly ignored.
Contract documents are project specific and can vary significantly for
differing projects. Achieving even a basic understanding of the content,
organization, and legal power of the contract will allow an inexperienced
professional to administer the contract more effectively. This course will
provide the student an understanding of the content that comprises a good
construction contract. A brief discussion of the standard components of a
construction contract and a test of the student's aptitude is included
herein. |

PDH Course Description: This course discusses the highlights of
the process known as outsourcing. That is, the contracted delegation of
certain business activities to non-employees. Small business tasks fall into
two categories: those that are considered core, such as those technical
activities you perform as an architect, engineer, or land surveyor, and those
that are considered ancillary, such as bookkeeping, tax reporting, and
possibly marketing. Outsourcing provides an opportunity for the small
business owner to displace those tasks that are not his trade or passion. |

PDH Course Description: Frequently, Consultants and Owner’s do a
single project together, then part ways. Why? For others, long-term
relationships can come to an abrupt end. Why? Others muddle along but the
road remains rocky. Why? This course considers two perspectives – the
Consultant as viewed by the Owner, and the Owner as viewed by the Consultant
to better understand the other and learn how perceptions develop that create
difficulties. Once understood, strategies are developed to minimize problems
to facilitate developing a truly mutual beneficial relationship.
Relationships can be mutually beneficial, long-term, and profitable. This
course draws on the experience of the Instructor, who has extensive
experience in both worlds. |

PDH Course Description: Do you ever wonder what other disciplines
do, or are unsure which disciplines are needed for a project? Do you look at
drawings of other trades with no or little comprehension? Are you unable to
do basic troubleshooting in other disciplines (problems are sure to arise in
a project)? Would you like to know the basics as to how to calculate heat gain,
or figure out a pump size, or select a beam, size a footing, determine
exhaust rates, determine the number of sprinkler heads, size a circuit,
select a type and quantity of light fixtures, figure out how much stormwater
runoff will occur when you build that new parking lot, etc.? In this course,
material is presented that will benefit those interacting with or managing
multidisciplines typically employed to design/implement a building project.
Practical applications and fundamental understanding of other disciplines
could be lacking that weakens the Project Manager’s (PM) ability to
successfully manage other disciplines or for others to properly interact. As
well, the inability to troubleshoot certain problems in projects lessens the
PM’s effectiveness. This course is an introduction to the myriad of
engineering and related disciplines/roles necessary to successfully manage,
oversee, or coordinate a complex project. While the focus is generally on
buildings, it is useful for other projects as well. |

PDH Course Description: Have you ever experienced something not
working, but discovered long after start-up? Do you have an uneasy feeling
that something might not be installed correctly, but don’t know how to
verify? Then try commissioning. Actually, Commissioning is nothing new. What
good engineer would not confirm an installation works? But if commissioning
is documented poorly, it is inadequate. If it is done improperly, it is
inadequate. Projects routinely have problems. One part of the solution is to
have a robust and documented Commissioning process (assuming the design is
robust in the first place). However, we can go to far and judge success by
the weight of the paper generated. How can Commissioning be implemented
meaningfully in the real world? This course will attempt to answer this
question. The Author has been a leader in the Pharmaceutical industry in the
application of documented Commissioning to minimize the regulated paperwork
required for Validation/Qualification. He shares his learned experience in
this course in the practical application of commissioning, whether in a
regulated industry or not. This course is to a general audience – see
separate material for specific applications to the Pharmaceutical industry. |

|
PDH Course Description: An initial response to the recommendation to
do Pharmaceutical Commissioning is that it is just an additional step –
another roadblock to engineering success and something repeated during
Qualification. However, effective Commissioning supports engineering and
Qualification success. This course addresses efficient Commissioning
techniques and synergizing with Qualification. Examples presented are not all
definitive, and documentation may exceed or not include certain elements –
Commissioning (and Qualification) must be structured for the project. This
course contains much of the material basic Commissioning course, but focuses
on the Pharmaceutical industry and recent initiatives at Commissioning. The
Author has been a leader in the Pharmaceutical industry in the application of
documented Commissioning to minimize the regulated paperwork required for
Validation/Qualification. He shares his learned experiences in this course in
the practical application of commissioning as it specifically relates to
Pharmaceutical projects. (Note: See the course entitled “Commissioning
Fundamentals and a Practical Approach” for a cost efficient method to apply
Commissioning also.) |

|
PDH Course Description: For any professional or technical
specialist who is thrust willingly or not into a leadership role, certain
management responsibilities may prove difficult. For most, delegation is such
a skill. For many reasons, managers may be fearful of giving up control,
sometimes convinced that they have no one reliable enough to delegate
responsibility to. Workloads in most organizations of the 21st century are so
demanding, however, that learning to delegate is not optional. Delegating by
default is usually unsuccessful and leaves all parties frustrated. Learning
to delegate and develop the talent you have at your disposal in a planned and
proactive way, on the other hand, will ultimately give you back your sense of
control and confidence. |

nature. The purpose of this short course in ethics will be for you to
formulate your own ethic relevant to the work place, your community and the
happenings in your personal lives. But more important, this course will
provide the theory necessary to categorize the ethical stand of other people.
In so do, you should become better at understanding those with counter
arguments, knowing how and why their ethical stands differ from your own. |

PDH Course Description: In Davenport a registered Architect has
placed a single certification on a standardized architectural construction
document sheet which is part of a technical submission package; none of the
accompanying main sheets are certified and none indicate the name of the
architectural firm. In Cedar Rapids, an Engineer has submitted a set of
building engineering plans to local authorities for approval; he is the only
indicated licensed design professional. The set contains numerous,
uncertified sheets of major architectural design details. In Sioux City, a Landscape Architect's sealed subdivision plans include the design and layout
of a community sewage treatment facility. These examples of sealing and
certifying improprieties, while the exception rather than the rule,
nevertheless occasionally occur throughout the State. While many times these
types of mistakes are unrelated to the accuracy of the technical content
contained within the documents, they may potentially cause problems. |

This course will review the basic concepts of design of bolts in shear/bearing type connections, based on the criteria specified in the latest edition of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Manual of Steel Construction, Load and Resistance Factor Design, Third Edition, November, 2001, (herein referred as LRFD). The topics included are: general requirements for bolted joints, including the different types of structural bolts (high-strength and common bolts), layout of bolted connections, proper specification of joint type, design shear and bearing strength, and modes of failures of the connected parts. Bolts in tension (or tension with shear), slip resistance joints, and eccentric loaded connections are not in the scope of this course. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

PDH Course Description: The most important single characteristic
of a beam is its strength. The two most important quantities that must be
considered in the design of beams are vertical shear and bending moment. In
the design of reinforced concrete beams for the limit state of failure
several factors need to be reconciled since these beams are neither
homogeneous nor elastic at the ultimate load. |

PDH Course Description: In addition to meeting flexural
requirements, beams must be safe against premature failure due to diagonal
tension in the concrete as a result of shear and longitudinal flexural
stress. Tension stresses are of particularly concern in view of the low tensile
strength of concrete. These tension stresses are not only limited to the
horizontal bending stresses which are caused by bending alone. Tension
stresses of various inclinations and magnitudes, resulting from shear alone
(at the neutral axis) or from combined action of shear and bending, are
present in all parts of a beam and can affect its integrity if not adequately
provided for. |

|
PDH Course Description: Many steel structures require connections that can develop moment because the beams are parts of a rigid frame. Beams that are part of the wind-bracing system of multi-story building must resist end moments resulting from both wind, seismic, and gravity loads. In the usual case, the moment capacity of the connection in such frames depends upon tension and /or shear developed in the fasteners or welds. This 4-hour course will review the basic concepts of the design of fully restrained moment connections (refer as FR moment connection in this course), based on the criteria specified in part 12 of the latest edition of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Manual of Steel Construction, Load and Resistance Factor Design, Third Edition, November, 2001, (herein referred as LRFD). The topics included are: general requirements for moment connections, including the effect of the moment connections on the flanges and web of the columns, prying forces in moment-resistant connections, welding considerations for FR moment connections, flange-plated FR moment connections, and directly welded flanges. Design of FR moment connections for HSS and steel pipe, extended end-plate moment connections, FR moment splices, and moment connections to column-web supports are not in the scope of this course. For FR moment connections that are part of a seismic-force-resisting system in which the seismic response factor R is greater than 3, refer to the Seismic Provisions, which are available from AISC at www.aisc.org. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

and durable building material. Reinforced concrete efficiently combines the
best properties of concrete and reinforcing steel into a strong structural
element. In addition, the high alkalinity of concrete helps to protect the
embedded steel from corrosion. However, due to the porosity of concrete, its
use in exterior environments and tendency to be exposed to deleterious
chemicals, this material can easily be subjected to deterioration. |

PDH Course Description: This three-hour online course provides
general guidelines for diagnosing concrete defects and selecting the methods
and materials for repair of defective or damaged concrete. The existing
condition and cause or causes of defects are evaluated to select the suitable
method and materials for a successful and durable concrete repair. Typical
causes and symptoms are explained and the best repair method and materials
are presented. Concrete deficiencies include cracking, surface deterioration,
construction faults, joint damages, erosion, seepage and spalling. The
student will have an understanding of the terms commonly used to describe
cracking, general physical conditions and other defects. Descriptive examples
and representative photos of the various types of concrete defects are
presented. The types of investigations, testing, analysis and inspections
used to determine the extent and possible causes of concrete damages are
discussed. Common causes for concrete deficiency such as accidental loading,
chemical attacks, improper construction or design and temperature changes and
the typical symptoms and preventative measures are described. The student
will also gain an understanding of the general procedures, equipment and
tests used for core drilling, underwater inspection and nondestructive
testing. Examples of advantages and limitations of the repair methods and
materials are discussed. |

PDH Course Description: This three-hour online course provides general
guidelines for the removal of damaged or deteriorated concrete. Successful
and durable concrete repairs depend on careful planning and consist of
removal, surface and steel preparation and reconstruction after removal of
concrete. The student will become familiar with the methods typically used
for concrete removal including blasting, crushing, cutting, impacting,
milling and presplitting together with their uses, advantages and
limitations. Monitoring techniques to detect damages to the remaining concrete
after completing removal work are presented. The damaged area must be
properly prepared because If the entire defective concrete and corrosion
product of the reinforcing steel is not removed, the repair materials may not
bond properly to the existing concrete member and the repair will fail. |

CEU Course Title: Petrographic Analysis of Concrete Deterioration |
|
Professional Development Hour for Engineer (PE): 2 PDH Professional Development Unit for Land Surveyor (LS, PLS): 2 PDU |
|
Continuing Education Unit for Contractor (GC): 0.2 CEU AIA Learning Unit for Architect (RA): 2 LU |
|

|
PDH Course Description: The primary purpose of this course is to highlight
the importance of the use of petrographic analysis as a part of any thorough
investigation and on-site condition survey of a deteriorated concrete
structure. To often conclusions concerning the nature or cause of
deteriorated concrete, as well as the repair of the same, are based on visual
observations only, particularly with structures exposed to chlorides (such as
road de-icing salts). The resulting recommendations in such instances, more
often than not, can lead to repair methods and techniques that can actually
exacerbate the conditions which in turn can lead to accelerated deterioration
of the structure. The use of petrographic analysis can avoid the pitfalls
associated with investigations based on on-site visual observations only.
This course will enable the user to understand the appropriate uses of and
the types of concrete pathologies that can be determined with petrographic
analysis. |

PDH Course Description: This course
discusses the different types of metal deterioration that can occur in
structures and buildings. The deterioration of metal structures is recognized
as a serious problem in the building industry because it results in the loss
of hundreds of billions of dollars each year. This problem exists because
metals have a natural tendency to revert to their oxidized form.
