 Welcome Ohio Professional EngineersBeginning with renewals in December 2007, Ohio professional engineers must earn 15 hours of continuing education yearly. This new requirement has caused some Ohio engineers to become concerned or even confused about what is required by the State Board. The Ohio board states that the engineer is ultimately responsible to determine that the courses they take meet the state requirements. It
is also the responsibility of the engineer to be certain that the continuing education provider meets the requirements set out by the board. The Ohio Board's CPD (Continuing Professional Development) FAQ web page says: You are responsible to make sure that the courses you take meet the requirements specified in R.C. section 4733.151. Courses, conferences, seminars and workshops in technical, ethical or managerial topics relevant to the practice of engineering or surveying are acceptable. All PDHengineer courses and seminars cover technical, ethical or managerial topics related to the practice of engineering, with the exception of some courses listed under the "Business Skills" section of our website. While most of the courses in the Business Skills section cover managerial topics, others courses cover Engineering Economics, Finance, Computer Skills, etc. Courses in these areas may be in a "gray area." Care must be taken when selecting Business Skills courses based on the Board's description of acceptable content. You can chose to stay away from these courses, or if you have an interest in this area and it is applicable to your practice, then we can help provide you with some guidance in selecting courses that are acceptable. Any course that is not listed as Business Skills would fall in the category of "technical," "ethical" or "managerial" and would therefore be an acceptable topic. The Ohio Board also asks engineers to be certain that PDH providers are "able to demonstrate that they have knowledge and experience in the areas that they are providing courses." PDHengineer.com has a process for screening course authors to ensure their knowledge on the subject matter being covered. We also provide course author biographies so that you can also make a determination on the suitability of a specific author.
