New York Professional Engineers

Continuing Education (PDH) Requirements

PDHengineer.com, a subsidiary of Decatur Professional Development, LLC, is a New York Board Approved Provider of Continuing Education for Engineers. We keep up-to-date on the changing New York PDH requirements and will be happy to help you ensure that your credits are accepted by the New York Board.PDHengineer has an Iron-Clad Money-Back Guarantee

PDHengineer.com is an approved sponsor of continuing education for professional engineers in New York State through October 31, 2013.

New York state requirements mandate that PDHs must be earned from an approved provider, in approved subject matter, and in an approved format. Effective with renewal dates of August 1, 2011, the board requires a minimum of 1 PDH in professional ethics each renewal cycle. This requirement can be met with either an online ethics course or a live ethics webinar.

The New York Board defines two types of PDH - "Educational Activities" and "Courses".

Educational Activities Courses
An "Educational Activity" is a self-study activity that doesn't require immediate interaction with the instructor.

Up to 18 PDH of the 36 PDH may be earned through "Educational Activities".
A "Course" is an activity that requires immediate interaction between the student and the instructor.

At least 18 PDH of the 36 PDH must be earned through "Courses"
Online Courses

PDHengineer's online courses meet the requirements for "Educational Activities". To complete an online course:
  • Search for a course, then study the course material.
  • Click on the Take Quiz button at the bottom of the course page and follow the instructions to create an account.
  • Complete the short online quiz. The quiz is scored automatically by our system. A passing score of 70% is required. You may retake the quiz as many times as needed until you pass.
  • Instantly access and print your Certificate of Completion online.
Webinars and "Live" Seminars

Webinars and seminars provided through PDHengineer and PDHseminars.com meet the requirements for "Courses". To complete a seminar or webinar:
  • Search for a New York approved seminar or New York approved webinar.
  • For seminars, simply attend the seminar and receive your certificate of completion at the end of the session.
  • For webinars, click on the "Buy" link at the bottom of the webinar page and follow the instructions to create an account. Then, attend the webinar over the internet. At the end of the webinar, complete an online survey (required by the Board) and print your certificate of completion.
Choosing Approved Content

Note that completing a course or seminar through an approved provider does not guarantee Board acceptance of the PDH. You must choose courses and seminars that meet the Board's content requirements.PDHengineers webinars are New York approved

To help you choose courses that are approved in New York, we place a notice box on the course overview page for any online course that does not meet the New York Board's requirements. We identify seminars and webinars that meet the Board's requirements for content with the "New York Approved" icon shown to the right.

Money-Back Guarantee

Due to our extensive experience working with the New York Board to determine acceptable content, we are able to offer an iron-clad money back guarantee. If any of our courses, seminars or webinars is ever rejected by your state board for any reason, you get your money back. Period.

PDHengineer.com has more than 2,500 hours of engineering continuing education online. It's convenient and cost-effective since you can take the course day or night in your own home or office.

New York Board Requirements

Below is a summary of the Board's continuing education requirements for engineers licensed in the state of New York:

Subject Requirement
Hours Required 36 PDH triennially
Renewal Dates Based on the licensee's date of birth
Course Approval New York pre-approves providers/sponsors of continuing education courses and educational activities, but not specific courses or activities. A course or educational activity must be presented by a board-approved provider/sponsor in order for the activity to be accepted. Acceptable continuing education includes courses and educational activities:

Courses: To be considered acceptable, a course must be administered by an approved sponsor, in an approved subject area and in an approved format. Additionally, the student must have the opportunity for immediate interaction with an instructor/presenter, e.g. a seminar, workshop, lecture, technical presentation, etc.

Educational Activities: A number of activities meet the Board's definition of educational activities. Among these, the Board classifies online courses under the heading of "self-study" activities. Self-study must be taken from an approved provider and in an acceptable subject area and be structured study that is based on audio, audio-visual, written, online, or other media, and does not meet the criteria established for live instruction. In addition, a self-study program must have a testing instrument, which is completed by the licensee and returned to the sponsor for scoring. A passing grade is required before a sponsor may award continuing education credit.

PDHengineer.com is a Board-approved continuing education sponsor in the state of New York and can be found in the list of approved sponsors under its parent company "Decatur Professional Development, LLC".
Course Content Aerospace engineering, agricultural engineering, architectural engineering, bioengineering, ceramic engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, construction engineering, control systems engineering, electrical/computer engineering, environmental engineering, fire protection engineering, geological engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, materials/metallurgical engineering, mining/mineral engineering, naval architecture/marine engineering, nuclear/radiological engineering, ocean engineering, petroleum engineering, structural engineering, systems engineering, architecture, land surveying; or other matters of law and/or ethics which contribute to the professional practice in engineering and the health, safety, and/or welfare of the public.

Courses that are not related to professional practice, such as general office management, accounting, finance, marketing, basic AutoCAD, etc., are not accepted (note that project management courses that are technical in nature and contribute to the professional practice are accepted). Due to the limited course areas accepted by New York, some PDHengineer.com courses that are accepted by other states are not accepted by the New York State Board. These courses are clearly denoted on the Course Overview pages.

Effective August 1, 2011, the Board requires one PDH in professional ethics in each renewal cycle. This credit can be earned using either an online course ("educational activity") or a live webinar ("course").
Online Courses Accepted. A maximum of 18 PDH may be earned each renewal period from online continuing education courses, which are classified as Continuing Educational Activities by the New York State Board. 
PDH Carryover Hours cannot be carried forward into the next renewal period.
