 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" or "Project Management" sections of our website. Most of the courses in these classifications would be accepted by the Ohio Board only if they are relevant to your current engineering practice. Before taking these courses, please contact the Board office for advice. Each of these courses has a warning on the course overview page. Other "Business Skills" courses which cover personal finance, personal development unrelated to engineering practice, or computer skills and software training will not be accepted by the Ohio Board under any circumstance. The overview pages for these courses also carry a warning for Ohio engineers. Any PDHengineer 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.
