Complete continuing education packages built specifically for engineers registered in Washington DC. Designed to fulfill the entire continuing education requirement.
This package was designed specifically for Washington DC geotechnical engineers looking to satisfy all of the Professional Development Hours (PDH) required by the District of Columbia Board of Professional Engineering. Professional engineers licensed in Washington DC must complete 20 hours of continuing education during each renewal period, including at least 1 hour of professional ethics.
Our Washington DC Geotechnical Engineering package contains a course on engineering ethics and five technical courses that were selected for their ability to maintain, improve, or expand the competency and skills relevant to your area of practice.
Package Syllabus
ET-02-101 Engineering Ethics – 1 PDH
This course introduces engineering ethics using the NSPE Code of Ethics, ethical theory, and practical case studies. It is designed to help engineers recognize and evaluate ethical dilemmas that may arise in professional practice.
GE-02-106 Engineering Uses of Geotextiles – 6 PDH
This course reviews the engineering properties, functions, design methods, and installation procedures for geotextiles. It covers geotextile applications in pavements, filtration and drainage, reinforced embankments, railroad beds, erosion and sediment control, riprap, revetments, and earth retaining walls.
GE-02-110 Soils and Geology Procedures for Foundation Design of Buildings and Other Structures – 5 PDH
This course presents guidance for selecting and designing foundations and related features for buildings, retaining structures, and machinery. It reviews soil and rock properties, field and laboratory investigations, excavated slopes, shoring, empirical design methods, and selected foundation design examples.
GE-02-105 Lab Testing for Soils and Rock – 4 PDH
This course provides an overview of laboratory testing methods used to characterize soil and rock for geotechnical design. It reviews index, strength, and stiffness testing, test selection, interpretation of laboratory results, and quality assurance procedures for geotechnical laboratory testing.
GE-02-300 Lateral Earth Pressure for Non-Geotechnical Engineers – 2 PDH
This course introduces lateral earth pressure concepts for engineers who do not specialize in geotechnical engineering. It reviews at-rest, active, and passive earth pressures, methods for calculating lateral pressure, and procedures for determining the total lateral force acting on a wall.
GE-02-401 Soil Stabilization for Pavements – 2 PDH
This course reviews methods used to improve the structural quality and workability of soils for pavement construction. It discusses the purpose of stabilization and presents soil stabilization techniques using Portland cement, lime, lime-cement-fly ash, and bituminous materials.
