Abstract

The civil engineering profession today in the United States does not have a standardized requirement for continuing education. In the context of this paper, continuing education refers to postdegree educational activities for licensed professional civil engineers. The terms life-long learning and professional development have a slightly different emphasis than continuing education but are included in this discussion because education is the primary objective of all three concepts. The types of activities defined as continuing education, when required, vary depending on the jurisdiction and organization overseeing the adherence to the requirements. Further, when requirements exist, they vary in scope, documentation, and duration. The purpose of this paper is to compare the existing continuing education requirements, both within the civil engineering profession and with other professions that require licensure, and to make recommendations regarding continuing education requirements for civil engineers.
