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.
Everyone (individuals and corporations) should consider Alternate Dispute Resolution prior to running down to the courthouse to file a civil lawsuit. This course will fill you in on how ADR works, its advantages and its limitation so that you may make an informed decision about a lawsuit or ADR. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

PDH Course Description: To survive in the twenty-first century, organizations had to become lean, flexible, innovative, and customer driven. Most had to reengineer their business processes. They had to abandon antiquated ideas about how organizations should be structured and managed. They had to rethink not just how to do things faster, better, and more economical, but whether to do them at all! Project teams are expected to complete critical, complex undertakings on time, within budget, and according to both internal and external customer needs and expectations. Over and over, we have heard our students comment that their jobs were made harder because "upper management" did not understand project management. The very people who appointed the project managers did not know what was involved in establishing multi-functional project teams and working within a matrix. The concept of empowerment was foreign to them and they found it difficult not to meddle in the day-to-day business of managing projects. Because leadership requires the ability to influence others toward achievement of a shared goal, managers/executives who seek to supervise project managers most effectively, need to understand how project management really works. They need to understand the challenges, frustrations, and the opportunities project managers deal with on a daily basis. This course gives managers/executives the working knowledge of the project management process they need. It enables them to speak the language, understand the issues, and make informed judgments concerning projects that are essential to the overall success of their organization. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

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.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

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.
Just like projects, businesses are executed according to plans. As a matter of fact, starting a business in the first place is undoubtedly a project. Managing a business toward specific objectives during a given period of time can even be considered a project. The analogies abound. Also, like nearly all projects, the primary objective in business is financial gain. We have all heard from management that we are in business to make money. We may develop and market software, build the world's tallest skyscrapers, or manufacture toilet paper; but our common objective is to make a profit. But, how is this accomplished? And, how do our projects fit within the financial structure of our companies? All good questions. This course will give you a brief introduction to the basic business accounting principles used in companies. It will also provide an in-depth discussion and analysis of project financial and cost management processes. Finally, it will address the internal project financial reporting required to integrate your project results into the company's financial results. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

Also, like nearly all projects, the primary objective in business is financial gain. We have all heard from management that we are in business to make money. We may develop and market software, build the world's tallest skyscrapers, or manufacture toilet paper; but our common objective is to make a profit. But, how is this accomplished? And, how do our projects fit within the financial structure of our companies? All good questions. This course will give you a brief introduction to the basic business accounting principles used in companies. It will also provide an in-depth discussion and analysis of project financial and cost management processes. Finally, it will address the internal project financial reporting required to integrate your project results into the company's financial results. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end. |

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. Part 1 lays the foundations for understanding the ‘world’ of construction layout. For many who serve in design and surveying professions, experiencing the construction environment is like visiting another planet. It’s a planet that has a lot to share with us, a lot to teach us. It’s a fascinating place that functions to the rhythm of a drum beat starkly different from the drone of quiet designers’ cubicles. It’s the last step between conception and reality. On the construction site, dreaming ends, theory meets the real world and anything that doesn’t work gets modified until it does. When a design reaches the stage of construction, things get real. Construction layout is just plain fun! But, it’s a dangerous vocation, prone to frightening levels of liability exposures. Construction layout happens on a playing-field where the blame-game is played with high stakes. Many are afraid to perform construction layout services, and they’re right to be cautious. It’s not for the faint-hearted, for timid souls or novices. There’s a lot to know besides cogo calcs and measuring skills. Topics covered in Parts 1 and 2 of this course include fee negotiation; contract issues and considerations; payment schedules; bidding secrets; liability exposure – real and imagined; record keeping, documentation, work orders, proposal writing, personal relationships, business relationships, team functions, safety, ethics, establishment and preservation of control points, layout techniques, documentation, pitfalls to avoid, checking and redundancy, equipment selection, care and adjustment, and more.

PDH Course Description: Welcome to Part 2. In this course, we’ll continue building practical application on the foundational principles presented in Part 1. In this section we take off the fancy clothes we wore to impress those clients we won over through the procedures taught in Part 1. We’ve successfully completed our marketing effort, negotiated a contract, and it’s time to put on our boots, get out there in the mud and dust and show our clients we really can give them what they need and want. It can’t be overstated: The construction world is different than the culture where design professionals live and breathe, turning out their inspirations. Becoming comfortable and familiar with the unique dynamics and sub-culture of the construction realm is prerequisite to a design professional’s or surveyor’s success through providing construction layout services. Many who hire out construction layout experience frustration over unresponsiveness and lack of really understanding the needs. Because this is so common, being truly attuned to your client’s needs gives you an edge over your competition. The advantage is huge! Part 1 set in place a firm foundation. Part 2 constructs on this a habitable, above-ground structure where the visible life takes place. Part 1 offered instruction in how to achieve that fundamental insight. This section teaches how to utilize tools and skills to meet that goal. Also, it relates ways to protect yourself from paying for the faults of others. It advises how to protect yourself from the simple lapses of memory that can cost you big bucks or even those occasional, less noble individuals who might want something for nothing – at your expense. Topics covered in Parts 1 and 2 of this course include fee negotiation; contract issues and considerations; payment schedules; bidding secrets; liability exposure – real and imagined; record keeping, documentation, work orders, proposal writing, personal relationships, business relationships, team functions, safety, ethics, establishment and preservation of control points, layout techniques, documentation, pitfalls to avoid, checking and redundancy, equipment selection, care and adjustment, and more.

PDH Course Description: An engineer, architect, or other young 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.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: This 4-hour course will introduce you to the major requirements of professional instrumentation project management. It will instruct you in the steps employed to establish a well-organized documentation system. The course makes use of spreadsheet tools in Microsoft Excel and you must be able to download ZIP files and open in spreadsheets. The I&C (Instrument & Control) discipline probably requires the most intensive set of documents next to the actual project controls themselves. It is important to have a thorough understanding of the various documentation requirements. Some of the documentation is discussed in depth in separate courses. The course will enable the student to setup a complete instrument index that will result in a successful project at its conclusion.

PDH Course Description: This course explains the meaning of professional liability and introduces you to the common causes that lead to the filing of claims. The debilitating effects of professional liability claims can best be appreciated by those who have experienced them. The resulting drawn-out court litigation results in psychological trauma for all parties involved and represents a scattering of energies, a drag on productivity, a drain on profitability and an enormous waste of time. The lessons presented here review, from a contractor's perspective, promising strategies that will help you minimize your exposure to unwarranted professional claims. You will benefit by learning how to take simple actions to avoid the common pitfalls that increase your exposure to claims. To accomplish this goal, the following topics are examined: These represent the 4 Cs of business: contract, credibility, competence and communication. Based on my personal experience and from my readings on this subject, it appears that large numbers of professional liability claims result from a breakdown in communication between the client and contractor. Clear communication between the parties can prevent a significant number of claims from being filed in the first place. The other components of the 4Cs are equally important to the success of your undertakings and will also be discussed in this course. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: Contractors and consultants in all fields face a wide range of contract types and terms and conditions in proposal requests from both government and commercial clients. Winning the contract and delivering the required products and services while making a reasonable profit is becoming more and more difficult in the face of stiffer competition, more demanding clients, and more onerous liability clauses. This course is designed to take some of the mystery out of computing cost, and estimating revenue and profit. The course also describes the various types of common contracts and associated key financial and managerial issues. The material is divided into three sections. The first section explains how to determine your real cost of doing business, including development of salary costs, employee benefits and overheads, and how these costs are incorporated into a billing structure. The second section explores the various common types of contracts (for example, cost plus percent fee, cost plus fixed fee, per-diem rates, fixed price, etc.). For each type of contract, the advantages and disadvantages to both the client and the contractor are described, and issues such as how to handle changed conditions and change orders are addressed. Also for each contract type, examples of billing rate calculations are presented, and potential pitfalls and financial exposure are discussed. Popular additional contract stipulations, such as incentive bonuses, liquidated damages, not-to-exceed ceilings and retainage are also described. In the third section, a case history is presented, including how the contract was bid and won, what unforeseen events occurred soon after project start, and what steps the Project Manager should have taken to protect the profit margin and still complete the project successfully. Finally, an actual case of creative contracting is presented and followed to its conclusion. The information presented in this course is based on the experience and insight of the author gained through over 30 years in the engineering consulting business. The approaches to developing billing structures and protecting profits under various contract types are timeless principles that are valid irrespective of the prevailing business environment and are applicable to any business where profit is made through billable hours. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

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. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

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. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

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.)

As the grandfather of all people-skills books, this book celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2006, and continues to guide managers in the universal challenge of face-to-face communication. Since it was first published in 1936, more than 30 million copies have been sold around the globe. The principles discussed in this masterpiece are just as useful today as they were 70 years ago because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. You learn many skills you need to be an effective project manager, from how to win people to your way of thinking to how to change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For your convenience, this course also includes a summary of all the important principles presented in the book.

PDH Course Description: The key to successful program management is the timely execution of each program task. In order to bring this about, a rigorous system for scheduling and tracking all ongoing program elements is needed. It is amazing how many times a manager will actually forget an item critical to completion. It is also interesting as to how many times management will decide, usually at the worst time, to interject a requirement that was not initially considered when the scope study was accomplished. I have been involved with programs in which outdated standards or addenda were used as the base line for testing to be accomplished. There is also a huge issue with patent infringement which must be addressed “day one” or real problems with schedule will be had. For these reasons, it is very nice to have a formalized written “backbone” or template from which to plan and schedule. A check list that allows for adding and deleting program elements relevant to the endeavor. That is exactly what we are presenting in this two ( 2 ) hour course. A check list that will serve as a planning tool and structure during the initial planning phase of the management process. It will also serve as a document used to capture the approval of upper management and a sign-off sheet during completion of each program task. This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: As a licensed professional, you probably have to deal with other project team members, building owners and contractors in your daily work. Therefore, it is essential for you to learn the art of influence without manipulation to get others to follow your lead. This course is based primarily on a phenomenal book entitled How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. As the grandfather of all people-skills books, this book celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2006, and continues to guide managers in the universal challenge of face-to-face communication. Since it was first published in 1936, more than 30 million copies have been sold around the globe. The principles discussed in this masterpiece are just as useful today as they were 80 years ago because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. You learn many skills you need to be an effective project manager, from how to win people to your way of thinking to how to change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For your convenience, this course also includes a summary of all the important principles presented in this book. In addition, we have included excerpts from a recent book How to Change Minds: The Art of Influence without Manipulation by Rob Jolles.

PDH Course Description: The managerial activities, grouped into the managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling are carried out by all managers, but the practices, tools and methods are always adapted to particular tasks, achievements and situation. These concepts are sometimes called the universality of management in which managers perform the same functions, regardless of their place in the organizational structure, or the type of company they are managing.
The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is an inclusive term that describes the sum of practices, widely applied, within the profession of Project Management. Managers are charged with the responsibility of taking actions to make a good work possible, supervising individuals doing their best contributions to group objectives. Management thus applies to small and large organizations, profit and non-profit companies. Effective management, in a very real sense, is the concern of all kinds of organizations, whether commercial and noncommercial, where they achieve and establish an environment, where people can accomplish the company goals with the least amount of time, money, materials and, most of all, the customer satisfaction. Thus, managing is an art, and the organized knowledge underlying the practice may be referred to as a science. Yet, as Peter F. Drucker, one of the most prolific writers in management, observed, "The greatest opportunity for increasing productivity is surely to be found in knowledge, work itself, and especially in management." Quality management is the middle of the personnel doing the work. However, quality control is, sometimes, in conflict with other managerial activities in getting the job completed in the specified or required time, in the real world, even the best contractors may sacrifice some quality for the sake of a single penny. Unfortunately, some Owners may force the Contractor to take whatever steps are necessary to complete the project on time, even over the warnings of the Project Manager, informing lack of quality. The primary purpose of this guidebook is to summarize the framework in planning, executing, controlling and closing projects, based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) with proven traditional practices widely applied, as well as, innovative practices. Anyway, a qualified professional or accredited consultant in Project Management should be always consulted to give satisfactory solutions according to managerial activities.

PDH Course Description: Managing, like so many other disciplines, medicine, music composition, engineering, accounta- cy, or even baseball, is in large measure, an art but founded on a wealth of science. Effective management, in a very real sense, is the concern of all kinds of organizations, whether commer- cial and noncommercial, where they achieve and establish an environment, where people can accomplish the company goals with the least amount of time, money, materials and, most of all, the customer satisfaction.
Managers have the task of transforming inputs, effectively and efficiently, into outputs. Of course, the transformation process can be viewed from different perspectives. Thus, one can focus on such diverse enterprise functions as finance, production, personnel, and marketing. However we believe that the most comprehensive and useful approach for discussing the job of managers is to use the managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling as a framework for organizing managerial knowledge. Productivity, effectiveness and efficiency: Another way to view the aim of all managers is to say that they must be productive. After World War II the United States was the world leader in productivity, but in the late 1960, productivity began to decelerate. Today government, private industry, and universities recognize the urgent need for productivity improvement. Until very recently we frequently looked to Japan to find answers to our productivity problem, but this overlooks the importance of effectively performing fundamental managerial and nonmanagerial activities. Quality management is the middle of the personnel doing the work. However, quality control is, sometimes, in conflict with other managerial activities in getting the job completed in the specified or required time, in the real world, even the best contractors may sacrifice some quality for the sake of a single penny. Unfortunately, some Owners may force the Contractor to take whatever steps are necessary to complete the project on time, even over the warnings of the Project Manager, informing lack of quality. The primary purpose of this guidebook is to summarize the framework in planning techiques, production management tools and quality management tools, with proven traditional practices widely applied, as well as, innovative practices. Anyway, a qualified professional or accredited consultant in Project Management should be always consulted to give satisfactory solutions according to managerial activities.

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.

Just a few of the topics covered are: (1) The dos and don’ts of sealing, signing, and dating certifications, (2) the acceptable and unacceptable types of seals, (3) the exemptions, exceptions, and special situations to sealing, (4) the avoidance of sealing improprieties due to practice overlap, (5) the performance of minor, out-of-discipline work, incidental to primary licensed practice. The course material is limited to North Carolina laws and practices. However, there is remarkable similarity among the various States because of their adherence to model laws and model rules adopted by both the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying. Therefore, professional practitioners licensed in other States may find the content informative. They may be inspired to examine the substance of their native jurisdiction’s rules and regulations, if for no other reason than to contrast it to that of North Carolina’s. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. * Note: This course cannot be used to satisfy Florida’s 4-PDH requirement in Florida Board Laws & Rules. |

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 gets to the source of sealing and certification mistakes; it does so in a clear, concise, and straightforward presentation.

PDH Course Description: This experience is designed to make each of you a better person, and, in doing so, make you an ethical engineer in a global society. Why take ethics? How can ethics help me? What is engineering ethics? Isn't ethics just common sense? Can ethics be taught? How does engineering ethics help me? Can't I just go to a code? You and I will explore these questions. As we humans expand to a global economy, global ethics, including engineering ethics, must expand. The global economy is driving us to become a single global society of combined other diverse societies. Societies must be ethical in order to co-exist together on our planet. Our own American society demands ethics. Ethics will become to the 21st Century, what the quality revolution was to the '70's, '80's, '90's, and continues today. "The Right Choice: Applying Ethics to Engineering" will introduce you to thinking ethically and applying your ethics to engineering. "The Right Choice" is based on the one hour plus lecture, presented to the San Antonio local chapters of ASME and ASM International; and, is written in a lecture style format rather than an academic dissertation.

PDH Course Description: A revolution in global ethics is approaching societies in the twenty-first century. If ethics is not adopted voluntarily, it will be mandated by governments. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 is an example of mandated ethics that spread globally. International standards on Social Responsibility, including ethical behavior, are being drafted. The ethical revolution will be akin to the quality revolution of the 1970s.
More than two thousand years ago, Aristotle viewed ethics as a two way street between the individual and the polis. Today, the two way ethical street involves an intermediary, firm, organization, corporation, and the state, but is applicable for the twenty-first century. In the organization, ethics must flow from top to bottom, and bottom to top. Individuals must think, act, and be ethical. Ethics develops trust, a fundamental ingredient in any relationship. Leadership starts with character and ethics. Global ethics requires ethical individuals and leaders. The “flattening” of the world by instantaneous information and “knowledge workers” will change organizations and societies. Advanced technology requires ethical leaders to achieve a balance between individual liberty, society, and technology. The importance of the Technology Triangle is shown. The Technology Triangle develops the Society-Technology-Liberty/Individual relationship showing how technology is integrated into society while balancing individual liberties. Three of the greatest ethical concerns that face us individually and as a global society are discussed. These ethical concerns are defined in Bioethics, Neuroethics, and Roboethics and could very well portend the future of mankind. It is easy to foresee the twenty-first century cannot survive with twentieth century ethics.

PDH Course Description: You and I are considered to be in the “professions.” What are professions? What is ethics? What benefits do ethics provide? What are the sources of ethics?
We hear a lot today of globalization. What is globalization? Is it bad or good? Isn’t globalization just a business and economics term? How do you and I fit into the globalization process? How is globalization economically stabilized? We will look at the World Banks, World Trade Organization (WTO), the United Nations (UN), and the way these organizations affect globalization. Trust is a big part of globalization. How professional ethics plays its important part, or should play an important part, in today’s globalized world will provide insight into what lies ahead. Professional ethics instills trust which is a fundamental element of relationships. Our premise is that we must think, act, and be ethical, personally and professionally. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) of business, why globalized corporations are adopting it and how, will be investigated. Can businesses make a profit being socially responsible and ethical? Our hope is this course will persuade you to embrace ethics and the globalized world will become a better world.

PDH Course Description: Fundamental to who you are is how you act. Fundamental to how you act is how you think. Fundamental to what you think and act is the first thing you do, because everything else must follow. Fundamental to your “good life” are your Life’s Priorities and how you carry them out. The premise of this course is if you become a better, complete person, you will become a better, ethical engineer.
I will be your coach or guide though this course. Our course will center around Socrates’ famous quote, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” Your life will be examined by you before the end of this course, so it cannot be said your unexamined life is not worth living. We start by asking ourselves what is our purpose and what are our Life’s Priorities? Before we answer these questions some background preparation needs to be done. We review Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs pyramid. Maslow researched and studied human basic needs, but also looked beyond those basic needs to self-actualizers and peak-experiencers. It is the self-actualization and peak-experiences that I want to guide you toward. Philosophically, we define and study the “good” and the “good life.” We study what the philosophers defined in these areas and the role of ethics. Actually, ethics will be sprinkled throughout the course. I must confess the first part of this course was completed some time ago and I knew I wanted to end the course taking you through your Life’s Priorities. However, I had a difficult time going from the “good life” to your Life’s Priorities, despite the fact I had given several lectures doing just that. While in a bookstore, I stumbled across Dale Carnegie’s How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. I had had his book for over twenty years, but had not really read it. I read it in depth and discovered he was on to something. How can you go from a “good life” philosophically to Life’s Priorities if you are stuck in worry? Carnegie’s book was written in the 1940s and was mostly anecdotal, basically interviews with people, some famous, who talked about their worry and how they dealt with worry. I had research for previous PDHonline.org courses, that showed ethics (high values) reduced stress and it was my belief that ethics would reduce worry as well. Surprisingly, just as Dale Carnegie discovered, there appears to be a lack of information on worry. There is a large amount of information on anxiety, some of which I share with you as part of this course. However, I was really looking for worry (probably because I worry some myself but do not feel I fall into the different anxiety classifications). I was searching for a more scientific approach rather than just theories; and, I wanted something practical that I could share with you (and even take myself). Dr. Edward Hallowell’s book on Worry was a key source. Moreover, Dr. Hallowell consented to allow me to reproduce for you his Worry Self-Assessment Quiz, that he developed over years of research and clinical practice, to evaluated your worry. I believe you will find it enlightening when you take it. Honestly, I probably spent too much time in this course on worry. However, the statistics of how many people are affected by worry are daunting. As a result, I probably went a tad overboard with my worry study with you before getting back to my goal to get over worry and on to your Life’s Priorities. I believe we all can or need to control worry and I have tried to attack worry. As a part of worry, we cover failure. Statistics show we all fail at something some time in our lives and it is important how we react to that failure; and, if we can build upon failure to make us better. The key goal of this course is for you to develop your own “good life,” “best life,” and set out your “Life’s Priorities.” By doing this, you will examine your life. You will develop a plan, identify and rank your Life’s Priorities and values, and build you own Personal Mission Statement.

PDH Course Description: This course examines a series of situations that surveyors may commonly face. The course discusses correct actions in the context of what the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) calls its “Surveyor's Creed and Canons.”
Examining the ethics of an individual’s actions, given a theoretical or “teaching” situation, is a standard method of appraising and judging professional practices. Many State Boards of Registration have promulgated either a “Code of Ethics” or a “Creed and Canons.” These have one intention: to set the bar for professional ethics. These guides are based on moral assumptions considered essential to our culture. They are the standards by which professionals are expected to make decisions, behave and act. These ethical standards always assume that public protection and safety is foremost in every surveyor’s decisions. As the NSPS Creed and Canons states, “I dedicate my professional knowledge and skills to the advancement and betterment of human welfare.” The Creed goes on to affirm that a surveyor will, “… place service before profit, honor and standing of the profession before personal advantage, and the public welfare above all other considerations.” The course takes seven situations where land surveyors commonly err in ethical decision-making. It frames each situation around a corresponding NSPS creed or canon. Students are then tested for their understanding of these basic situations. This course affirms the underlying professional principle that surveyors are guided by a common moral understanding. Ethics encompasses “right conduct and good life.” Upon gaining professional registration, a land surveyor is assumed to be familiar will these basic guidelines. Decision-making and Ethics in Everyday Practice for Land Surveyors is an essential review for both new and experienced professionals. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. * Note: This course cannot be used to satisfy Florida’s 4-PDH requirement in Florida Board Laws & Rules for Professional Engineers. |

PDH Course Description: Take a look at a collection of acts of misconduct by Illinois licensees, taken randomly from public records:
Disciplinary Case: (Name withheld) of Chicago, Land Surveyor license no. (withheld), fined $250 for sealing a Surveyor’s certificate on a sheet of paper that was not a survey. Disciplinary Case: (Name withheld) of Frankfort, Professional Engineer license no. (withheld), licensed revoked and fined $5,000 for submitting sealed structural engineering plans without a structural engineering license. Disciplinary Case: (Name withheld) of Skokie, Architect license no. (withheld), placed on probation for one year and fined $1,000 for applying his architect seal to a change in architectural plans that were not originally prepared under his direct supervision and control. This course gets to the source of these and other sealing and certification mistakes; it does so in a clear, concise, and straightforward presentation. Just a few of the topics covered are: (1) The dos and don’ts of sealing, signing, and dating certifications, (2) the acceptable and unacceptable types of seals, (3) the exemptions, exceptions, and special situations to sealing, and (4) the avoidance of sealing improprieties due to practice overlap. The course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. |

PDH Course Description: This course will examine the ethical issues that arose from the 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows bridge in Washington state. This was one of the most dramatic bridge collapses in history, with fortunately no loss of life and little property damage other than the bridge itself. The collapse took place less than a year after completion of construction of the bridge. Out of this incident a serious ethical issue was illuminated for the engineering profession. Specifically, at what point is the profession’s theoretical and experiential knowledge insufficient to justify moving forward with a specific project or design scheme? And in the presence of weak experiential knowledge, is there a practicable way to supplement the experiential knowledge so as to move the project forward? In this course you will learn about how the engineering profession gained important new insights into the importance of aerodynamics in bridge design as a result of the ethical dilemma faced by the designers of the first Tacoma Narrows bridge.

Disciplinary Case File No. (withheld): Mr. (Name withheld), PE-(number withheld) had his license and current registration suspended for a minimum of 60 days, was assessed a $250 civil penalty and directed to complete a course in professional ethics for affixing his seal to building plans the he neither prepared nor properly reviewed. Disciplinary Case File No. (withheld): Mr. (Name withheld), PG-(number withheld) was assessed a $3,500 civil penalty because he practiced geology when he held no current valid certificate and failed to place his signature near his seal when he issued documents to a client; and affixed his seal to documents after the expiration of his registration. Disciplinary Case File No. (withheld): Mr. (Name withheld), RA-(withheld) was assessed a $1,000 civil penalty. He sealed or stamped drawings when his certificate to practice architecture was expired. This course gets to the source of these and other sealing and certification mistakes; it does so in a clear, concise, and straightforward presentation. Just a few of the topics covered are: (1) The dos and don’ts of sealing, signing, and dating certifications, (2) the acceptable and unacceptable types of seals, (3) the exemptions, exceptions, and special situations to sealing, and (4) the avoidance of sealing improprieties due to practice overlap.

PDH Course Description: Codes of ethics for engineers typically describe standards for professional behavior. The enforcement of those ethical standards that are inscribed into law lies with licensing boards of state governments. In this course, ten case studies of actual enforcement actions by a state licensing board are presented. The cases have been selected to be representative of situations likely to exist in many states. Board procedures and the types of enforcement action available are shown by a variety of cases ranging from a geotechnical engineer who produced (within one hour and without visiting the site) a soils report, to an engineer who was unable to document his PDH’s during a board audit. The importance of being very careful about when to put “P.E.” after one’s name on a document also will become apparent.

PDH Course Description: Many engineering organizations have drafted codes of ethics to which their members are required to commit. Generally, these codes are quite similar and are based on a few fundamental principles which provide guidance to professional engineers in common situations. Nevertheless, there are many difficult or ambiguous situations in which the best ethical solution is difficult to determine. In this course, background on the philosophical models that guide ethical behavior is discussed and then applied to specific situations in engineering codes of ethics. This course is based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Professional Practice Curriculum, Volume 8, Section: Engineering Ethics. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: This course will examine the ethical issues that arose from the attempt by French commercial and government interests to build a maritime canal across the isthmus of Panama in the 1880s. The United States, of course, subsequently successfully constructed a Panama Canal but this earlier French project was an abject engineering, commercial and financial failure that resulted in thousands of deaths and the loss of billions of investor dollars. The primary engineering issues were route and alignment selection, soils engineering, tidal control and seasonal flood control. The ethical lesson is about what can happen when political, financial and commercial goals override engineering considerations and result in a tragic project failure that provides lessons in engineering and public policy ethics that are as valid today as they were in the 19th century. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDHonline Course Price for PE License Renewal: $89 |
PDH Course Description: This course provides instruction in engineering ethics through a case study of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Conventional explanations for the disaster cite an irresponsible failure in communication—lower level engineers failed to inform managers adequately about the seriousness of problems with the O-ring seals—or unscrupulous managers risking the safety of the flight crew in order to meet launch schedules and maintain government funding. Drawing on meticulous research of scholars who studied the actual work of the engineers involved in Challenger, this course shows that the conventional explanations are not supported by the historical record. The technology was new, complex, and hazardous. Decision makers were competent and honest. They were well aware of problems with the seals, but they judged the risk to be acceptable. In retrospect we know that they were mistaken, but understanding the severity of the problem at the time was not at all the simple matter that later critics made it out to be. The course culminates in an extended treatment of six ethical issues raised by Challenger. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: Forensic engineering is a business enterprise in which a relatively small number of professional engineers engage. Its proponents say it seeks to improve the quality of engineering, but others say some of its participants are interested only in self-gain. Its critics say forensic engineers in many cases use specious claims and the legal system in the United States to extort unwarranted settlement payments from other professional engineers, private companies and public agencies. This course looks at the social, legal and human factors that underpin the forensic engineering business. It suggests an approach to neutralizing those who engage in forensic engineering for self-gain rather than in search of just conclusions.

PDH Course Description: A compass is a simple instrument based on a simple concept. With its northward facing needle, it points travelers toward the right direction regardless of the weather conditions. The concept of morality is also relatively simple at its very core. It denotes conduct or duties based on what is right and wrong. By placing “moral” in front of compass, one can evoke a clear picture of mental processes that point him/her in a particular direction in life. In this course, we will learn from industry leaders who follow their internal compass, embrace their passion, and embark on their journey of life. In addition, we will review the professional regulations and discuss about professional misconduct prohibited by professional licensing boards.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. * Note: This course can be used to satisfy ethics training requirement for engineers licensed in New Jersey (min. 2 PDHs in ethics) and New York (min. 1 PDH in ethics). |

PDH Course Description: In order to safeguard the life, health, property and welfare of the public and to maintain integrity and high standards of skills and practice, each licensed profession usually adopts a Code of Ethics or Professional Conduct, which provides a basic guide for professional conduct and imposes duties on the licensed professionals, with respect to society, employers, clients, colleagues, the profession, and himself/herself. A violation of the Code in the practice of a profession constitutes unprofessional conduct and is considered grounds for disciplinary action by a licensing board/professional association against the licensee/member. In this course, we will discuss the basic concepts and terminology related to ethics, and review the Code of Ethics adopted by engineering societies such as the IEEE and NSPE. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials. * Note: This course can be used to satisfy ethics training requirement for engineers licensed in New Jersey (min. 2 PDHs in ethics) and New York (min. 1 PDH in ethics). |

PDH Course Description: Engineering ethics must keep pace with the acceleration in technology of the color sciences; as well as the incorporation of colors into engineering in order to improve safety standards, represent data, and signify dangers, such as hazardous materials. The significance of ethics cannot be overstated as technology outpaces our abilities to instill and enforce ethics and laws. Please, we invite you to open the course’s first page that illustrates the course content pictorially. “Engineering Ethics: Color and Technology“ (EECT) provides a brief overview of important ethical principles and shows their applications with illustrated figures. EECT applies rational ethical principles to actual problems we now face in the US and must handle. EECT tackles the problems concerning ethics within the various types of work environments in which we find ourselves, including warehouses, offices, environments with heavy and fast moving machinery, flames and hot metals and other materials. We provide up-to-date facts concerning significant technologies related to: sensory substitution devices that allow the blind to “see” colors via video cameras encoding visual information as audio output information, color technology applied to medicines, color analyses of flames for gauging temperatures, and the importance of different types of colored representations of data for scientists and engineers.

PDH Course Description: In the morning of December 14th, 2005, the upper reservoir of the Taum Sauk Pumped Storage Project near Lesterville, Missouri, USA, was overtopped during the final pumping cycle. Overtopping of the 10 ft high parapet wall and subsequent failure of the rockfill embankment formed a breach about 720 feet wide at the top of the rockfill dam and 430 feet at the base. The breach widened quickly, and the 4,350 acre-ft reservoir emptied in about 25 minutes. This course provides instruction in engineering ethics through a case study of the Taum Sauk failure. Management’s failure to give adequate consideration to dam safety considerations stemming from decisions made in the original design process in the 1960s and errors made in installing and maintaining new water-level control instrumentation in 2004 is described in detail. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: In creating products of various kinds for use by clients or by the general public, engineers have an ethical duty to strive to prevent the products from harming anyone. Thus when a product fails and someone is injured or killed, the question always arises whether the engineers responsible for the product are guilty of negligence. But determining negligence can be difficult. The purpose of this course is to describe those aspects of an engineering failure and its aftermath that should be considered when trying to judge if engineers have acted negligently. The subjects considered include the expected standard of care, safety and risk estimates, biases often present in failure investigations, the public’s desire for identifying wrong-doers, punishment, and the uses and misuses of the results of investigations. These concepts are illustrated with a description of the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919, for which a new possible cause was identified only in 2014. Four other case studies are also included. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: The Ford Pinto case is today considered a classic example of corporate wrong-doing and is a mainstay of courses in engineering ethics, business ethics, philosophy, and the sociology of white-collar crime. The conventional account of the case holds that Ford engineers made a serious design error in locating the fuel tank behind the rear axle, leaving the Pinto vulnerable to disastrous fires in rear-end collisions. As crash-test and field data began to accumulate and reveal the danger, management made a deliberate decision not to modify the design, because doing so would harm corporate profits. Ford’s decision was based on a cost-benefit analysis which balanced human lives against corporate profits.
In this course, the factual basis of the conventional account is examined and misconceptions held by the public are identified. Questions about the placement and design of the fuel tank are addressed. Data available in public records but rarely discussed by Pinto critics are presented showing that Pinto accident-fatality rates were slightly better than the average for automobiles of comparable size. The discussion is then rounded out by comments on various other criticisms that have been leveled at the Pinto, and an alternative account of the Pinto case is formulated which differs significantly from the conventional account. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |

PDH Course Description: How can ethics help me? How can Ethics, Engineering, and Leadership help me? You and I will explore the answers and benefits of these questions together. Shakespeare in his comedy, As You Like It, said, “All the world’s a stage.” We are acting on the world stage. Our actions and words influence others. This is leadership. Whether our actions and words are right or wrong is ethics. Applying leadership and ethics to engineering is the challenge of this course. We do this by living in reality, with honor, ethics, and leadership. We must think, act, and be ethical. Our course consist of three main parts: (1) Personal Ethics, (2) Engineering Ethics, and (3) Leadership Lessons. Personal ethics is the cornerstone of ethics. We must be true to ourselves to be true to others. How do we be true to ourselves? One way we address being true to ourselves is setting our Life’s Priorities. In essence, we have to know what we are looking for in life in order to achieve it. Moreover, Life’s Priorities change; they are not the same for teenagers, young adults, and adults. We will spend a brief minute with Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle studying the “good life” before we jump into Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. On our way to developing our full potential, we will list out our “good things in life.” Your list represents a portrait of your priorities and character traits for your life. We will work with your list to develop what matters most to you, governing values, and happiness. The three main schools of ethical theory will be briefly covered before we discuss core engineering virtues and values. Years ago I developed a pictorial representation of “The Problem,” different directions pulling on us---society versus the individual, and good versus evil. With “The Problem” in mind we will visit some tough ethical issues. We will conclude personal ethics with an honor code. In the second part, engineering ethics, we discuss references to different engineering societies’ ethics codes, i.e., ASME, ASCE, etc. The CitiCorp Building structural problem is viewed as an ethics case. Thereafter, we will discuss briefly the Texas Professional Conduct and Ethics Code, which is similar to many states’ codes. We finish the engineering ethics part by discussing the 5P’s---precursors to ethical problems---and apply them to the Columbia Shuttle tragedy. The last part of our course, Leadership Lessons, will examine leaders President Lyndon Johnson and Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Lyndon Johnson was selected for his leadership in a crisis immediately following President Kennedy’s assassination. Johnson handled the crisis well and there are leadership lessons we can learn vicariously through the crisis. Marcus Aurelius would have been Plato’s example of a philosopher-king. His virtues were love of fellow man, truthfulness, moderation, and these should be the same qualities of law. Right, reason, and justice were one and the same for Aurelius. The idea of a natural law was written into the legal code of Rome. Marcus Aurelius wrote a guide or journal to himself during the war with the Germans, now referred to as “Meditations.” In “Meditations,” Marcus grappled with great philosophical questions. Aurelius practiced stoic philosophy. Stoics try to control the things within their control and let go of things beyond their control; something we can learn. In our concluding remarks, we discuss Jena Pincott’s article, “Are these rules worth breaking?” We see that it is important to give ourselves ethical reminders often. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. |
