All About PDHs
RCEP uses Professional Development Hours (PDHs) to quantify continuing education activities. Generally, each PDH represents one full hour of instruction/learning. Here are 9 ways for engineers, surveyors and design professionals to earn PDHs this year:
1. College courses
2. Continuing education courses
3. Short courses/tutorials and distance-education courses offered through correspondence, television, videotapes, or the Internet
4 Attending qualifying seminars, in-house courses, workshops, or professional or technical presentations made at meetings, conventions, or conferences
5. Teaching or instructing in 1 through 4 above
6. Authoring published papers, articles, books, or accepted licensing examination items
7. Active participation in professional or technical societies
8. Patents
9. Other (for example, a jurisdiction-specific activity)
The conversion of other units of credit to PDHs is as follows:
1. 1 college or unit semester course------------------------------------------------------45 PDHs
2. 1 college or unit quarter course--------------------------------------------------------30 PDHs
3. 1 hour of professional development in course work, seminars,
or professional or technical presentations made at meetings,
conventions, or conferences-------------------------------------------------------------1 PDH
5. For teaching in 1 through 4 above, apply multiple of 2
6. Publications
a. Each published peer reviewed paper or book in
the licensee’s area of professional practice-------------------------10 PDHs
b. Each published paper or article (other than 6a above)
in the licensee’s area of professional practice---------------------5 PDHs
7. Active participation in professional and
Technical societies (each organization) --------------------------------------------2 PDHs
8. Each patent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------10 PDHs
If you attend courses that use Continuing Education Units (CEUs), please note that for conversion purposes, 1 CEU = 10 PDHs.
