In the IEEE, education occurs at many
levels. Our Technical Societies
offer tutorials, technical programs and
short courses at conferences;
Sections and Chapters sponsor short courses and
talks at their meetings. At the Institute
level, the IEEE website provides access
to a wide range of courses and other educational
activities that are available through the
Internet. The following pages will
provide information on how Sections and
Societies can award IEEE CEUs for their
CE programs.
IEEE is an Authorized Provider of CEUs
through The International Association of
Continuing Education and Training (IACET),
and has adopted IACET guidelines and
criteria for all its continuing
professional development programs.
Authorized Providers of IACET must
reapply every five years to maintain their
"Provider" status. IEEE
Educaitonal Activities completed the rigorous
application, underwent a site visit, and is
delighted to announce that the IACET
Commission has once again approved IEEE's
Authorized Provider Status.
Currently thirty states require
Professional Development Hours to maintain P.E.
licensure, encouraging engineers to seek
CEUs for their participation in
Continuing Education programs. You can view the
list of
CE requirements by state. CEUs
readily translate into PDHs (1CEU=10
PDHs). Evidence of participation in these
courses also helps engineers meet
company training requirements.
