Nevada Professional Engineers Continuing Education Courses

This course provides a brief overview of various alternative energy technologies. Topics covered include: Solar, wind, biological fuels, hydrokinetic and marine energy, as well as fuel cells, biohydrogen, coal gasification, and alternate nuclear technologies.

This course focuses on the use of constructed wetlands used to treat wastewater from confined livestock and agricultural operations. It addresses the three most common types of waste treatment wetlands (SF, SSF, and FAP), the treatment processes, the role of vegetation in the treatment, the benefits and concerns of using CW’s, planning and design considerations, as well as procedural, operational, and maintenance requirements.

This eight-hour engineering course addresses the maintenance and design of gravel roads. Unpaved surfaces make up a sizable percentage of both domestic roads, as well as roads abroad; therefore, the administration and maintenance of these road systems can be an enormous task. Most of the maintenance duties of these road systems fall on local authorities, although much of the remaining responsibilities lie with state highway agencies. 

This course provides an overview of the administration, maintenance and design, reshaping and rehabilitation, and construction considerations of gravel roadway systems. Special topics include drainage, erosion and control, windrows, superelevation, as well as other special areas of concern.

This course is an introduction to the basic principles, major equipment, protection and control systems relating to high-voltage power distribution and transmission. In this course, you will learn the basics in constructing and maintaining a power transmission and distribution system, as well as various components of the system.

This is an introductory course on the design, planning, and construction of rural pond systems. This course describes embankment and excavated ponds, as well as outlines the requirements for building each type of pond.
