Instructional Seminars and Training Services

Instructional seminars and training services include non-credit programs; courses or seminars in engineering, science, technology, management, and other specialized subject areas; and production operation or application-specific training. Non-credit programs are offered by colleges or universities, but do not apply towards the requirements for a degree. Although these programs are designed to further professional development, they do not necessarily fulfill professional development hour (PDH) or continuing education unit (CEU) requirements for re-licensure as a professional engineer (PE). Instructional seminars and training range from one-day seminars to week-long, weekend-long, or even semester-long courses. These seminars and courses may be offered on a college or university campus or at remote, public, or company site. Typically, the presentations are live; however, some seminars are videotaped and offered over a satellite network or through a visual teleconferencing system. Course topics, locations and dates are often developed in response to industry or government requests.
