Continuing Education Courses and Live Seminars for Professional Engineers

We are a State Board of Engineers Approved Course Provider

The majority of State Board of Professional Engineers including Texas, do not pre-approve any course or sponsor, however our courses and seminars have all been pre-approved by all three states of Louisiana, North Carolina and Arkansas, which require course and sponsor pre-approval.

DVD Course (15 PDH Complete Package):

15 PDH Hours of Engineering - Continued Education Course for PE

(Professional Engineers). Includes a 1 PDH DVD of Ethics.

 

'How to Start a Part Time/Full Time Consulting Engineering Company on a Shoestring'

 

This is a State Board of Professional Engineers Approved Course, and We are a State Board of

Professional Engineers Approved Course Provider.

 

Your computer must have DVD-ROM drive in order to view the course.

 

- This is the first and only class of its kind for engineers who would like to learn how to start and run a part time/full time consulting engineering company, while earning their PDH or CEP credit hours.

- This class will teach engineers how to set up, run and market an engineering consulting company in any part of the country and practice either in their own field of expertise or the field of Forensic Engineering

- Forensic Engineering is one of the fastest growing and highest paid engineering fields in the country.

- The fundamentals of the class can be applied to any kind of consulting engineering business. This will also be a great class for engineers who like to testify in court as an engineer or simply making plans to work part time as consultant engineers either now or during their retirement years.

- This class is also open to non-PE engineers.

 

Q; Why Forensic Engineering?

  • If your current engineering job or experience does not have a small business/consulting application, Forensic Engineering is the most common choice among the engineers and scientists, since it's rather easy to our standards and you already have the engineering background.
  • Please visit the DVD course topics page for more in depth information and FAQs.

 

Q: Why should I take this course? What's in it for me?

  • You learn something practical while earning your PDH or CEP.
  • It's easy and hassle free.
  • No username for registration, password or corporate discount number just to take a course.
  • Simply order it online and you'll receive the whole DVD in one week or less.
  • You study at your own convenience and in the comfort of your home.
  • You get all your 15 PDH in one package including your 1 PDH ethics video.
  • You are getting the best value for the price.
  • Unlike other online engineering courses, which simply give you a technical topic with some formulas to plug in or quiz questions to fill out and you get a certificate. This course will teach you how to think like an entrepreneur engineer and start a small engineering company no matter what part of the country you live in.
  • And finally last but not least, If you are considering keeping busy during the retirement years, this is the best investment that you can make, while earning your PDH and CEP credits. It would be much easier if you start now, rather than starting later when you are retired.

 

Q: Do I watch this DVD course like a DVD movie?

  • No, this course is a multimedia course, containing PDF text files, photo slides, animation videos and video clips. We have placed the whole thing on a DVD due to it's shear volume. This was done intentionally to give you the capability to stop the DVD at any time and come back to it at a later time when it's convenient for you. This way you do not have to watch the whole thing for 15 hours straight!
  • Simply place the DVD in the DVD drive and follow the instructions on the back of the DVD case. You can stop the DVD at any place and come back to it at a later time.

 

Q: Is this class open to non-PE engineers?

  • Yes, absolutely. In most cases as an expert witness you do not have to be a registered engineer. The Judge will decide if you qualify to testify as an expert in the field, based on your technical background and work experience, regardless if you are a registered engineer or not. In some cases you have to be a registered engineer either to do the work or comply with certain codes.

 

Q: Who teaches the course?

  • The seminar is taught by Mr. Franco F. Davati, P. E., the President and founder of Failure & Damage Analysis, Inc. in Houston, Texas.
