Assorted Testimonials
Excellent seismic review course. You went above and beyond to not only teach us the fundamentals of seismic design but you ensured that we understood the basic concepts. I am a transportation engineer and by the end of this class I had a clear understanding of seismic design. I am very grateful for your positivity, passion for teaching and constant care.

This course exceeded my expectations and helped me successfully pass the seismic portion of the PE. The On-Demand lectures and book were very well organized, extremely thorough, clear, easy to follow, and included material that was omitted from other seismic courses. The course also incorporated the required sections from ASCE 7-10, the IBC, and other references. The formula sheets provided were beneficial in efficiently solving problems without having to flip through multiple reference books and standards. The Adobe system for watching the On-Demand videos was user friendly and easy to navigate as well. All of that being said what really made this course stand out from the others was Dr. Ibrahim’s attention and care for the students. Having never met him I felt like I knew him based on his sincere desire for my success. This was evident in his answering questions, emails to me, and constant encouragement and support. I highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for the seismic portion of the PE.

The live webinar along with your workbook was the complete package that allowed me to confidently prepare for the seismic exam. The workbook is organized perfectly for successfully tackling seismic problems. What sets your course apart from other online courses is your dedication to the subject matter, accessibility, one-on-one attention, your love for teaching and your tireless efforts towards the success of your students. The course format was perfect for me with my busy schedule because I was able to study from the convenience of my home. During the exam, I was familiar with most of the problems because your example problems were representative of the actual exam problems. Ahmed, thank you for the exceptional learning experience and personal attention, which allowed me to not only prepare for the exam, but also better understand the material and gain a new appreciation for the subject. I strongly recommend this webinar and course workbook to anyone who wants to pass the seismic exam in the first attempt.
