professional engineers are required to earn 15 PDH each year to maintain
licensure. The Board lists a number of different acceptable
continuing education activities, including correspondence and online
courses. While the Alabama board does not mandate or pre-approve
specific courses or providers, they do require that the courses cover
material that is technical, ethical or managerial in nature and that the
activity pertains to the practice of engineering.
