Overview

This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Contract Writing for Engineers , you'll learn ...

History of contracts
Essential elements of a contract
Writing a contract in language that will be more readily enforceable in the event of litigation
The definition of "deliverables"

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 50 minutes has been met.

As a professional engineer, you will likely be called upon to write (or at least review) contracts at some point in your career. If you intend to bid on a project, purchase equipment or hire a sub-contractor, a contract will be required. Except for the simplest of transactions, almost all agreements to provide a product or a service for commercial, industrial, or government work will require some type of contract. Thus, it is imperative that you understand the fundamentals of writing contracts - even if you have a huge legal department at your disposal.

In this course, you will learn the major elements of a contract. You will also learn how to protect your interests or the interests of your employer when writing a contract.
