I agree with many of the comments that have been posted that we do not need a continuing education requirement for Professional Engineers. However, since the requirement has been mandated by the General Assembly, I have the following comments on the proposed regulations relative to continuing education activities:
a. The proposed regulations should be revised to allow continuing education credit for (1) actively working in the engineering field; (2) authoring or co-authoring technical papers, books or professional/technical society presentations; (3) serving on technical standards committees such as the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code committee; and (4) attending professional/technical society meetings and conferences.
