Professional Development Hours (PDHs):
You may earn PDHs, which are nationally recognized units of record, by attending conference concurrent sessions and short courses.

ASCE strongly recommends that individuals regularly check with their state licensing boards for specific continuing education requirements in their jurisdictions that affect professional engineering licensure and the ability to renew licensure.
