ASCE Metropolitan Section - Continuing Education Committee

Continuing Education Committee

As of January 1st, 2004, in accordance with the requirements of New York State Education Law (Article 145, Section 7211), professional engineers licensed in the State of New York are required to complete a minimum of 36 hours of professional development activities per every three-year renewal period. Maintaining and enhancing the professional education of civil engineers has long been an important part of the mission of ASCE. The ASCE Met Section is an approved New York State sponsor of continuing education. As such, the Met Section will evaluate seminars and other professional activities presented by Met Section groups and members in accordance with the requirements of the New York State Education Department.

Engineers Seeking to Attend Approved Continuing Education Activities:

Many Met Section approved continuing education courses can be found in the event calendar. Members can also subscribe to the Met Section listserv to receive regular announcements of upcoming Met Section events by e-mail. Seminars and technical lectures offering Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for professional engineers are held throughout the year at locations in New York City, Long Island, and the Lower Hudson Valley.

Presenters Seeking Accreditation of Course for Continuing Education Credit:

The Met Section will evaluate courses sponsored by Met Section groups and members. Met Section groups will determine appropriate admission fees, if any, for courses offering PDHs. Individuals and organizations not associated with ASCE should refer to the New York State Education Department website for specific information.

Refer to the instructions and forms found here and read instructions carefully.
