Engineering Ethics, Electrical Power, and Controls 8-PDH Seminar (Combined) - Designed for engineers of all disciplines. Board acceptance guaranteed. Part I – First Hour ENGINEERING ETHICS FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS – Ethical Dilemma, Moral Disengagement and AI. A Course on Engineering Ethics and Engineering Code of Conduct for Professional Engineers Credit: 1 PDH Lead Instructor: Professor Bobby Rauf, PE, CEM, CE, CMT, CE, MBA Course Description This Sem-Train course caters to Licensed Professional Engineers who are interested in refreshing their understanding of some of the terms and concepts associated with the practice of engineering, the code of ethics, and conduct professional engineers are expected to abide by. After defining some of the terms and concepts pertaining to the practice of engineering, the course segues into the rules of professional conduct. Three rules of professional conduct are reviewed. Each of the three rules of conduct and the terms and concepts associated with the practice of engineering are illustrated through multiple case studies. Some of these case studies are conducted in the form of live classwork in which participants are encouraged to identify and discuss the most ethical courses of action based on the professional engineering rules of conduct. In addition, this course addresses the drivers behind engineers’ moral disengagement and ethical dilemma that often tends to lead them astray. This course also, briefly, delves into the concerns beginning to erupt with the rise of AI; its pros and cons related to the practice of engineering. Part II – 7 Hours Electrical Power and Controls for Engineers, Techs, and Managers - Designed to benefit engineers of all disciplines Course Credits: 7 PDHs Instructor: Professor S. Bobby Rauf, P.E, C.E.M, CMT, CE, MBA Course Description This course comprises a unique combination of electrical power and controls topics. The course begins with coverage of electrical power concepts in the DC, Single Phase AC and Three Phase AC realms in an easy-to-follow approach, illustrated and reinforced by practical applications, examples and numerical case studies or problems. Utilization of electrical power in hydraulic machines, i.e., pumps and turbines is discussed, supported by basic introduction to hydrodynamics and culminating to the sizing of pump motors. Application and sizing of fan and blower motors is explained. Electrical power distribution is highlighted. VFD, Variable Frequency Drives are discussed. VFD architecture and VFD operational analysis are covered. The seminar then segues into the controls topics starting with controls theory, differences between Open and Closed Loop Control Systems and their advantages and disadvantages. Example of proprietary or custom control systems is covered, illustrated by pictures. Participants are introduced to PLC’s, Programmable Logic Controllers. PLC’s are then compared to DCS Systems, and their pros and cons are highlighted. HMI, Human Machine Interface, and SCADA systems are covered, supported by in-depth exploration of two specific examples. This course is designed for engineers, professional engineers, energy professionals, engineering managers, technical professionals, technicians, facilities managers and other professionals who are not intimately familiar with electrical power and controls disciplines. Participants are kept engaged through questions and answers, discussions and classwork.
