DISCLAIMER
Before undertaking any on-demand effort, you should review the rules of your licensing/certifying entity. It’s your responsibility to determine whether or not this on-demand course meets your continuing education requirements.
You must take and pass a quiz in order to receive credit. You can take the quiz as many times as needed and there is no time limit on the quiz. Once the quiz is completed, you will be asked to download your certificate.
Videos that qualify for AIA, LACES, ASLA, or CLARB credit will require an extra week for processing.
Streamable MP4/PDF
Available approximately 1 week after the date of the live event or the date of your order, whichever is later.
To track your purchase you will need to create an account on the website using the email address used for your registration.
For most customers, the videos run like most streaming videos on the web. For videos that qualify for AIA credit there will be occasional question prompts that will not allow the video to progress unless they are answered and you will not be able to skip forward while watching the video.
If you attempt to resume watching the video on a separate device, your progress will not be saved.

Speakers
Scott Hamel PE. PhD
Professor and Chair, University of Alaska Anchorage
Dr. Hamel completed a B.S. in Civil Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and a master’s in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in structures at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Between degrees he worked as a bridge inspector, roadway designer, and bridge engineer in Boston and as a structural engineer in Denver designing hospitals, museums, and courthouses. After earning his license as a professional engineer in Colorado, he returned to school and completed his doctorate in Structural Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Hamel’s research was located at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory in Madison and included a three-year long creep study of wood-plastic composites (WPCs). He joined the faculty at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) in 2011, where his current research includes the structural performance of polyurethane structural insulated panels (SIPs) and the seismic performance of residential structures with deficient wood-framed shear walls. At UAA, Dr. Hamel teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanics, structural analysis, structural design, loads on structures, and structural reliability.
