A. Professionalism and Ethics

During each biennial registration renewal period every professional registrant is required to obtain one Professional Development Hour (PDH) in professional ethics.

One of the best web resources we have found is the  Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science. The mission of the Ethics Center is to provide engineers, scientists, science and engineering students with resources useful for understanding and addressing ethically significant problems that arise in their work life. The Center is also intended to serve teachers of engineering and science students who want to include discussion of ethical problems closely related to technical subject as a part of science and engineering courses, or in free-standing subjects in professional ethics or in research ethics for such students.

Continuing Professional Development Credit = 1 PDH

A significant number of registrants have complained of the difficulty in locating a professional ethics seminar. To alleviate this problem, a Professionalism and Ethics presentation followed by an examination is provided. Registrants may study the presentation and complete the examination to obtain one PDH credit in professional ethics.

The completed examination must be retained pursuant to the record keeping provisions of Section 3115 of the Rules of the Board. Write your answers on paper; date and retain the answer sheet.

The Professionalism and Ethics Presentation   is provided in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this file.
