Montana – Rules, Statutes, and Ethics for Professional Engineers: 3 PDH

In this course the professional engineering student will study the Montana Board of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors Rules & Statutes, including Professional Engineering Ethics.

Bridge Steels and their Mechanical Properties: 4 PDH

In this course the student will gain a comprehensive understanding of the types, properties, manufacturing processes, and performance characteristics of structural steels used in bridge construction. They will understand how various steel grades are selected based on mechanical properties, environmental conditions, and fabrication needs.

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement: 5 PDH

In this course the student will understand the design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP). They will grasp the critical principles governing CRCP performance, including crack control, reinforcement detailing, and the role of materials and environmental conditions in long-term pavement behavior.

Corrosion Protection of Steel Bridges: 5 PDH

In this course the student will understand the principles, materials, environmental factors, and design strategies necessary to mitigate corrosion in steel bridge structures. They will develop a comprehensive knowledge of corrosion mechanisms, protection systems, and performance evaluation.

Curing of Portland Cement Concrete Pavements: 4 PDH

In this course the student will gain detailed, research-based guidance on the curing process for concrete pavements, including pre-construction planning, methods of curing (initial and final), material selection, environmental considerations, and techniques to verify curing effectiveness. It emphasizes best practices to ensure long-term pavement performance and reduce early-life concrete distress.

Roller-Compacted Concrete : 5 PDH

In this course the student will understand the principles, methods, and considerations involved in the use of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) for civil works structures, particularly dams. They will gain foundational knowledge of material properties, mix design, construction techniques, and quality assurance protocols essential to RCC implementation.

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC): 4 PDH

In this course the student will understand the unique properties, design implications, and practical applications of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), particularly in bridge infrastructure. They will grasp how UHPC differs from conventional concrete, including its superior strength, durability, and performance in extreme conditions.
