Abstract:
ASCE's growing program in continuing education is described, plus a view of projected program growth. Two background factors�whether or not more states are likely to follow Iowa's lead and mandate continuing education as a condition of retaining the engineering license, and the question of quality control and credits for short courses�are tackled. (Specifically reported: whether or not ECPD should separately accredit organizations offering engineering short courses; and a new IEEE pilot program of quality validation of courses.) Described are four of the more successful and interesting programs in continuing engineering education�at the University of Wisconsin, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the World of Concrete exposition, and the engineering firm Gilbert/Commonwealth, of Reading, Pa. Finally, some of the more useful scources of information of upcoming short courses, in engineering and in management, are listed.
