About ISSEP
Our Approach
ISSEP courses are intentionally designed to be:
- Practical — focused on how engineers actually make decisions
- Technically grounded — based on established engineering principles and credible sources
- Professionally relevant — aligned with the responsibilities of licensed engineers
- Accessible — self-paced, online, and clearly structured
Rather than offering compliance-driven or purely theoretical content, ISSEP courses emphasize how engineers think about complex problems, uncertainty, and tradeoffs in real systems.
Instructor Background
All ISSEP courses are developed and taught by a licensed Professional Engineer with experience in both industry and academia.
This dual background informs the course design:
- industry experience provides practical perspective on real-world constraints,
- academic experience supports clarity, rigor, and effective instruction.
Courses are developed independently and reflect the instructor’s professional expertise and judgment, rather than institutional or corporate viewpoints.
Who ISSEP Courses Are For
ISSEP courses are intended for:
- Licensed Professional Engineers
- Engineers seeking PDHs for license renewal
- Engineers working in industry, consulting, or public agencies
- Professionals interested in sustainability, risk, and safety from an engineering perspective
Courses are suitable for engineers across disciplines, particularly those involved in design, operations, infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, and environmental systems.
Continuing Education and PDHs
ISSEP courses are structured to support professional development and continuing education requirements. Each course includes:
- clearly defined learning objectives
- structured content
- a short knowledge check
- a certificate of completion
Engineers are responsible for determining whether a course meets the requirements of their specific licensing board.
Commitment to Professional Responsibility
Engineering decisions affect public safety, environmental outcomes, and long-term system performance. ISSEP courses emphasize:
- responsible decision-making under uncertainty
- ethical and professional obligations
- transparent communication of risk and assumptions
The goal is to support engineers in maintaining competence and exercising sound professional judgment throughout their careers.
