Professional Engineer Continuing Education
Compare current PE PDH planning baselines by state, then verify final eligibility, exemptions, carryover, and filing rules with the licensing board.
Tools
Start with the calculation or planning task. The supporting text explains assumptions and what must still be verified.
Calculate remaining professional-development hours from your state requirement and eligible hours completed.
Check a mandatory ethics subrequirement separately from the total PDH requirement.
Look up the verified planning baseline in LearnWithShery’s current PE state matrix.
Compare two state PDH totals before deciding whether one activity can satisfy both; credit acceptance must still be verified separately.

Understand the requirement
List each jurisdiction separately, identify overlapping subject rules, and never assume the same activity is accepted by every board.
PDH commonly means professional development hour in engineering licensure, but qualifying activities and calculation rules are set by each licensing board.
Engineering licensure is jurisdiction-based, so renewal periods, PDH totals, ethics requirements, deadlines, and accepted activities differ.
No. The current AISC matrix lists some jurisdictions without a mandatory PDH total, which is why engineers should check their own board rather than use a national assumption.
Some engineering boards require ethics or state-law hours inside the overall PDH total; those subrequirements must be tracked separately.
Possibly, but acceptance depends on each board’s subject, provider, documentation, and timing rules. Treat overlap as something to verify, not assume.
