Add 4-Course Set & SAVE 20% Add Course to Cart

Course Objectives: This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.

Course Description:

This is the fourth part of a series of courses on forensic engineering in the area of metallurgical and mechanical root-cause failure analyses. The course, like Part C, provides different case histories of failure analyses of metallic materials and mechanical engineering as segments of the large field of forensic engineering. The emphasis in each case presented is on failures due to corrosion of metals. Five somewhat unique case histories are provided.

To get the most benefit from the course, it is assumed that the reader has a general interest in and knowledge of corrosion from previous education or work experience. That knowledge might include some basic principles as provided in the author’s prior Course 110, Corrosion Control and Tactics, or other information sources on corrosion and related technology. However, brief statements of most principles needed in a given case history are provided.

The course seeks to show that analyses of metallic aqueous corrosion failures can be a very diverse and often challenging area of engineering. This is because of the many interacting factors. Included are the many possible practical situations where failures may occur, the variety of metals potentially affected, the different methods sometimes needed to access the evidence, the several corrosion mechanisms that may be found and the role of an engineering expert witness in associated legal actions.

463-The Space Shuttle Challenger Case: Ethics and Engineering Dissent

(5) 9 Reviews

This course is accepted for Ethics training by all state engineering boards and the District of Columbia.

Add Course to Cart

Course Objectives:

To give students an understanding of their rights and responsibilities in according to the NSPE codes of ethics in situations where their engineering judgment is overruled by their company in circumstances that endanger life or property.
To give students an understanding of the specific circumstances under which legal protections against retaliation for dissent apply.

Course Description:

This case study of one of the most iconic episodes in engineering history is designed to highlight some of the difficulties engineers might encounter should their engineering judgment regarding matters that endanger life or property be overruled by their employer and to give students an understanding of their rights and responsibilities in such circumstances according to the NSPE codes of ethics. The Challenger case was chosen precisely because it is not a clear-cut case of unsafe engineering, thus providing the kind of realistic complexity that engineers face in the course of their professional lives. NASA and the relevant contractor, Morton Thiokol, were adamant both before and after the Challenger failure that proper engineering analysis drove their decision making – that it was not a case of succumbing to outside pressure or weighing political or financial considerations. Students can decide for themselves what they would have done given the public facts of the case. The case also brings out the limited legal support that exists for engineers who might face retaliation from such dissent.

Add 2-Course Set & SAVE 20% Add Course to Cart

Course Objectives: This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.

Course Description:

This course is part of the Series of courses on Heavy Civil Construction Safety. It is the intent of this series of courses to provide the reader with a sound knowledge base of the fundamentals of safety so they can be considered one of the Industry’s Competent Safety Personnel. Supervisory engineering responsibilities require this type of training so leaders can help the staff they oversee avoid accidents.

The series of courses will attempt to make this material easy to read and understand. It does not go into any depth on technical subjects but will provide enough material for the reader to be aware of the fundamentals in a wide variety of subject areas. Course Topics of this series may include: General OSHA and MSHA Responsibilities, Personal Protection, Hand and Power Tools, Ladders and Scaffolds, Excavation and Trenches, Equipment operations, Crane Safety, Rigging Safety, Traffic Control, Fire Protection, & Equipment Transporting.

The goal of this second course is to review personal protective equipment needs. The material will include general discussions of the various equipment available and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards which govern their use. This course of construction safety should provide easier reading than other areas of construction safety and serves as a good starting point in introducing specific OSHA Standards which relate to our work.

The purpose of this course is to help engineers who design heavy civil construction items understand the processes of construction to make their designs safer, more timely, cost effective, and with better quality. After completion the reader should have a basic understanding of the ssfety requirements needed to construct their designs. From better understanding of the construction methods, engineers can account for better access and staging areas, and more efficient designs to suit a construction method that is advantageous to the project.

Lastly, safety must be a constant focus of every operation. Because of the variability of Heavy Civil Construction Projects, they are often chosen to be constructed in some of the most adverse and inaccessible areas imaginable. Working with extreme weights, at excessive heights, in adverse conditions, and around large equipment requires safety diligence from every stakeholder. Please be safe.
