Electrical Engineering This in-depth course provides a comprehensive overview of electrical engineering design principles, with an emphasis on standards-based, safe, and sustainable facility design. It covers all aspects of the design process, from applying national codes (NFPA 70, IEEE C2) and developing project documentation, to addressing environmental and cybersecurity requirements. Detailed guidance is provided on…
Life Cycle Cost Estimation and Analysis This course provides procedures, information, examples, and tools to develop consistent and defensible life-cycle cost estimates (LCCE) and perform appropriate life-cycle cost analyses (LCCA) for capital projects. Life-cycle costs are an important consideration for all DOE projects and programs. It presents references and tools that can be used and…
Process Safety Management for Highly Dangerous Chemicals This course presents the fundamental concepts of reverse osmosis (RO) technology used in the water purification process like seawater desalination, product rinsing, microelectronics production, and other processes that require highly purified water. Reverse osmosis is what the name implies: osmosis in reverse. It also introduces definitions of basic…
Nondestructive Testing of Runway Pavements This comprehensive course explores the principles, equipment, and methodologies involved in the nondestructive testing (NDT) of airport runway pavements. It provides engineers with the knowledge needed to evaluate the structural integrity and performance of pavements using various NDT technologies, including Falling Weight Deflectometers (FWD), Heavy Weight Deflectometers (HWD), vibratory devices…
Introduction to Hydraulic Structures This course discusses the fundamental concepts of the hydraulic structure used to guide and control water flow velocities, directions, and depths, the elevation and slope of the streambed, the general configuration of the waterway, and its stability and maintenance characteristics. The proper application of hydraulic structures can reduce initial and future…
Hydraulic Structures – Conduit Outlets This course discusses the fundamental concepts of hydraulic concepts and design criteria for conduit outlet structures. Any outlet structure must be designed to match the receiving stream conditions that require an analysis of the probable range of tailwater and bed conditions that can be anticipated including degradation, aggradation, and local…
