Maintaining and enhancing the professional development of civil engineers has long been an important part of the mission of ASCE. The Met Section is an Approved New York State Sponsor of Continuing Education. As such, the Met Section will evaluate technical lectures, seminars and other professional activities presented by its groups and members in accordance with the requirements of the New York State Education Department.

Engineers Seeking to Attend Approved Continuing Education Courses:

Many Met Section approved continuing education courses can be found in the event calendar. Members can also subscribe to the Met Section email list 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 a Course for Continuing Education Credit:

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