Course Description
Overview
In this course the student will review EM 1110-2-501, "Design, Construction and Operation of Small Wastewater Systems" published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This course is particularly relevant to engineers involved in the design, construction and operation of small wastewater systems, as well as engineers interested in gaining a fundamental understanding of the design of small wastewater systems.
The material covered in the referenced document is quite comprehensive. Typical wastewater rates and characteristics are discussed for various types of fixtures and facilities. Treatment options and their respective design considerations are presented ranging from small individual units, such as composting toilets and septic tanks, to complete small-scale treatment systems incorporating preliminary, primary and secondary treatment methods. Design of wastewater collection systems is also addressed, as well as regulatory requirements for the disposal of sludge.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz at the end of this course to earn PDH credits.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Attained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
State Board Acceptance
This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept online* courses that cover technical, managerial** or ethical content and which are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice. For questions about your mandatory PDH requirements, visit the website of your state licensing board.
*Online courses are accepted by all state licensing boards that mandate continuing education. Other than New York (which limits online courses to 18 PDH) and Iowa (which limits online courses to 6 PDH), there are no limits placed by other states on the number of hours that can be earned through online continuing education. Consult with your state licensing board if you have any questions about the acceptability of online courses.
**The New York State Board of Engineers does not accept general office management courses, but will accept project management courses that are offered by an approved provider and that are technical in nature and contribute to the engineer's professional practice.
