Louisiana PEs are required to earn 30 PDH, including 1 hour of
Engineering Ethics. PDHengineer.com provides a free online

Engineers, to meet your Louisiana Ethics PDH
requirement. We provide this course free to you as a way to introduce

Louisiana engineers who design buildings

Safety Code, Building Codes, or the Americans With Disabilities Act Accessibility
Guidelines. Our Building

requirements.
