ADA Guidelines: Building Blocks
1-Hour | Only $38.95
The ADA, a major civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability, establishes design requirements for the construction or alteration of facilities. It covers facilities in the private sector (places of public accommodation and commercial facilities) and the public sector (state and local government facilities). This 1-hour interactive online course covers the basic elements considered to be the “building blocks” of accessibility. This material is presented in chapter 3 of the ADAAG and includes the technical specifications and regulations for topics such as changes in level, wheelchair turning space, clear floor space, knee and toe clearances, protruding objects, reach ranges, and operable parts.

Ethical Decision Making for Engineers #3
1-Hour | Only $26.95
Your Code of Ethics requires you to hold the public health, safety and welfare paramount. In the course of your profession, however, you may be faced with irreconcilable dilemmas that call in to question your moral values, conduct and character. What actions would you take if faced with conflict of interest, a request to associate with a firm that is not authorized to practice, a questionable request for a reference, or duty to report a violation of a copyright licensing agreement in your own office? Do you know how you would handle issues of this sort if faced with them? In this 1-hour interactive online course, standards of ethical conduct are examined in a variety of situations amply illustrated with case studies and discussion from the NPSE Board of Review. The engineer will focus on ethical issues in contemporary professional practice by looking at a sampling of cases.

Concrete Evaluation & Repair 1
6-Hour | Only $161.70
This 6-hour online course is the first in a series that provides guidance on evaluating the condition of the concrete in a structure, relating the condition of the concrete to the underlying cause or causes of that condition, selecting an appropriate repair material and method for any deficiency found, and using the selected materials and methods to repair or rehabilitate the structure. Guidance is also included on maintenance of concrete and on preparation of concrete investigation reports for repair and rehabilitation projects. Considerations for certain specialized types of rehabilitation projects are also given. Although it is not required, it is suggested that this course be taken prior to the follow-up course, 'Concrete Evaluation & Repair 2'.

Driven Piles: Pile Type and Selection
2-Hour | Only $99.90
Driven piles are a total engineering solution. The design, installation and quality assurance that are a part of each driven pile combine to eliminate guesswork and produce a known, reliable and cost effective product that can accommodate a wide variety of subsurface conditions. This 2-hour interactive online course covers the many different types of piles available and explains the appropriate conditions for each type of pile. There is also a section covering the different types of degradation and how each pile substance might respond to these difficult environmental circumstances. The information is provided to help designers choose the best pile type for any given project. This course is based on guidance provided by the Federal Highway Administration.

A Comparison of Seismic Design Methods
1-Hour | Only $49.95
There are basically four different types of seismic design methods. Most building designers immediately assume that the building code provides the best seismic design method. This is a good assumption, as the engineer must satisfy the building code regardless of their preferences. Besides, the building code seismic design is accepted and relied upon even though no one might check its applicability. This 1-hour interactive online course presents different seismic design methods to familiarize the design community with these options. The course will not determine the shear forces, but gives a basic comparison of application, and cost of the different design methods. The course is written with respect to pre-1980 versions of building codes primarily to emphasize some of the code changes that have been made since that time. As an extra, the course provides a comparison of seismic coefficients used by different countries giving some surprising results.

Basic Wind Loads I: ASCE 7-05 Revealed
2-Hour | Only $77.90
ASCE has prepared a new method (copyrighted in 2002, updated in 2006) of designing for wind loads on structures, including roofs, walls, windows, and just about everything that makes up structures. This method has been adopted (and is continuing to be adopted) in building codes across the nation. This 2-hour online course walks you through the ASCE manual and helps make a very, very complex system much easier to understand and more useful.

Concrete 1: Evaluation and Causes of Damage
1-Hour | Only $38.95
When taking on a concrete repair project, the first step is an important one - conducting a thorough evaluation. This 1-hour interactive online course begins with techniques for surveying the condition of the concrete, and reviews design and construction documentation, operation and maintenance records, instrumentation data, visual examination, methods of nondestructive testing and laboratory specimen analysis. The second part of the course identifies basic causes of deterioration, and covers typical symptoms, and recommendations for preventing further damage.

Masonry Design: Installation and Workmanship
4-Hour | Only $155.80
The best intentions of the architect or engineer will not produce a masterpiece unless the workmanship is of the highest order and the field practices are as exacting and competent as the detailing. This 4-hour online course covers the installation and workmanship of masonry products. This course is divided into five sections: Moisture Resistance & Preparation of Materials, Installation: Part I, Installation: Part II, Prefabricated masonry & Construction Tolerances, Cold and Hot Weather Construction & Moist Curing

Concrete: Self-Consolidating (SCC)
1-Hour | Only $38.95
Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC), also called self-compacting concrete, is a revolution in the field of concrete technology. SCC is a very fluid, high strength concrete that flows like water, compacts with little or no vibration, does not segregate, and is self-leveling. Products made with SCC have an excellent finish, and are virtually free of bug holes or honeycombing. Introduced to the concrete industry by the Japanese in the late 1980s, it is just now coming into its own in North America. This 1-hour interactive online course introduces the student to this new concrete product.
