American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Through its alliance with ASCE, SmartPros Engineering is the society's sole electronic course provider for both technical courses offering Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and preparation courses for the PE Exam. SmartPros Engineering offers these courses both online and on a CD version. Founded in 1852, ASCE represents more than 120,000 civil engineers worldwide, and is America's oldest national engineering society. ASCE advances professional knowledge and improves the practice of civil engineering as: The lead professional organization serving civil engineers and those in related disciplines.  The focal point for development and transfer of research results, technical policy, and managerial information.  The catalyst for effective and efficient service through cooperation with other engineering and related organizations. The SmartPros/ASCE partnership will provide engineers unprecedented electronic opportunities to prepare for the PE Exam and earn PDHs--at their convenience, at any location. Employing a dynamic blend of multimedia elements, the complete PE Exam Review course takes engineers step-by-step through each section of the actual exam: Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Surveying, Hydraulics and Hydrology, Structures, Transportation, and Economics. SmartPros/ASCE technical courses all offer PDHs. www.asce.org   Aubrey Daniels International (ADI) SmartPros Engineering has established an exclusive alliance with Aubrey Daniels International (ADI) to provide their Performance Management and Behavioral Safety training programs. ADI is an international consulting firm advising Fortune 500 companies how to improve productivity, quality, safety and morale through the systematic application of Performance Management (PM). PM is a scientific way to manage people so they perform at their best every day. It involves the application of behavior analysis including pinpointing tasks, measuring performance, giving feedback and providing positive reinforcement. ADI and SmartPros Engineering established this strategic alliance to develop an alternative method of delivering the ADI PM System. This important alliance has fostered a new computer-based online delivery method. Companies can now achieve rapid and broad-based dissemination and application of the PM System to everyone in their company and more rapidly realize the many benefits of performance improvement. The computer and web-based delivery of the ADI PM System also benefits companies by substantially reducing cost per employee over live presentations to small groups. www.aubreydaniels.com
