In the IEEE, education occurs at many
levels. Our Technical Societies
offer tutorials, technical programs and
short courses at conferences;
Sections and Chapters sponsor short courses and
talks at their meetings. At the Institute
level, the IEEE website provides access
to a wide range of courses and other educational
activities that are available through the
Internet. The following pages will
provide information on how Sections and
Societies can award IEEE CEUs for their
CE programs.
IEEE is an Authorized Provider of CEUs
through The International Association of
Continuing Education and Training (IACET),
and has adopted IACET guidelines and
criteria for all its continuing professional
development programs. Authorized
Providers of the IACET must reapply every five
years to maintain their "Provider"
status. IEEE Educaitonal
Activities completed the rigorous application,
underwent a site visit, and is delighted
to announce that the IACET Commission has once
again approved IEEE's Authorized
Provider Status.
Currently,
thirty
states require Professional
Development Hours to maintain P.E. licensure,
encouraging engineers to seek CEUs for their
participation in Continuing Education
programs. CEUs readily translate into PDHs
(1CEU=10 PDHs). Evidence of participation in
these courses also helps engineers meet
company training requirements.
