Continuing Education (CEUs)

The Westchester/Putnam Chapter of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers hosts technical lectures for credit hours in fulfillment of continuing education requirements for licensed professional engineers registered in New York. Chapter Members, along with non-members and guests, are invited to attend the lectures typically held during Chapter meetings on the second Wednesday of the month, in an informal lunch or dinner setting. Attendees are offered the opportunity to earn credits in a relaxed, social environment. One-hour offerings presented by area professionals during the 2005-2006 period included:

• Materials and Structural Evaluation of Selected Water Pollution Control Plant Structures (Baker Engineering NY, Inc., September 2005)
• Practical Applications for Emergency Generators (Cummins Metropower, November 2005)
• Design-Build Benefits of the First High Rate Dissolved Air Flotation Facility in the United States (Black & Veatch, December 2005)
• Enhancement, Restoration and Creation of Wetlands (HDR, January 2006)
• The New Stage 2 Drinking Water Regulations (Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., February 2006)
• Project of the Year, 2005: The Westchester County Penitentiary (The LiRo Program & Construction Management, P.C., March 2006)
• Fundamentals of Load and Resistance Factor Design of Highway Bridges (Chas. H. Sells, April 2006)
• An Overview of NYSDEC Permitting (NYSDEC, May 2006)
• Engineering in the Entertainment Industry (McLaren Engineering Group, June 2006).

Currently, a lecture series is being planned for the September 2006 - June 2007 period. Chapter members, Sponsors of our quarterly newsletter, The Westchester Engineer, and guests are invited to present at one of the Chapter’s gatherings. This is a great opportunity to reach a wide audience of municipal engineers, consulting engineers, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, students and others. Note that lectures must be technical in nature and cannot be marketing oriented to comply with State Education Department requirements. Notwithstanding, presentations serve as a springboard for networking opportunities with area engineers in both the public and private sectors. Further, news of the presentations will be featured in The Westchester Engineer.
