Today, Mark Oakeson jumps back on the show to discuss Professional Development Hours, aka PDHs. Given today’s world, the interplay between science and technology has allowed groundbreaking methods and processes to constantly disrupt “old-fashioned” ways of building, doing, and creating things. Within civil engineering, this wouldn’t be different. As an applied science in itself, civil engineering is constantly changing and going through innovative transformations that enhance specific aspects of the field. Therefore, professionals need to keep up with these changes, and PDHs play a big role in this day-to-day update on industry news and trends.

This episode touches on a variety of topics regarding PDHs, including the existing differences between states, the resources available in order to get your credit hours, how to pace yourself so that they do not pile up, as well as the vital importance of keeping your certificates or any record stating that you’ve completed a specific course.

This is a great episode for both the rising engineers of the future, who will need to get their required credit hours in order to renew their licenses and the professionals already practicing in the field.
