Most agencies that register professional engineers require continuing education hours for renewal of the license to practice. This provides the public with some assurance that the individual engineer is up to date on the latest requirements and research benefiting the community welfare. However, to truly make a difference and to get the most out of the profession engineers should strive for excellence, not just information. This webinar will explain the differences between continuing education and excellent practice and offer reasons and practical strategies for strengthening one's engineering impact and influence benefiting your community.

Note: This is a live webinar delivered via GoToWebinar. Session instructions will be emailed to you 24-48 hours prior to the webinar and the morning of the webinar. If you have not received your instructions for any reason please call Customer Support (1-866-546-1212) the day of the event. Webinars are live and interactive.
