From the Syllabus:
Professionalism includes a particular skilled called life-long learning, and in many states, maintaining a P.E. license requires demonstration of continuing professional competency (CPC) by completing a number of professional development hours (PDHs). One particular qualifying PDH is attending a seminar or workshop that includes engineering content related to the licensee's field of practice. To promote life-long learning (and CPC), all students are required to attend four (4) out-of class seminars before the last day of classes.
These seminars may include any presentation on NAU's campus: Engineering Seminar Series, CEFNS or NAU Career Development workshops/seminars, and other seminars/workshops on events.nau.edu. If you have questions
about the validity of an event, email your instructor BEFORE attending the event. You are required to submit a summary and reflection of each event; additional details will be posted to Bb Learn.
You must upload your write-up for each event by midnight on the last day of class.
For each event, you must submit a 2-page document (1.15 spacing, l2pt. Times New Roman or Calibri font, saved as a PDF) containing:
• Name, date, and location of the event.
• A summary of the content from the seminar/workshop.
• A reflection on how the content will be useful in your future engineering career related to:
o Engineering Design,
o Communication,
o Teamwork, and/or
o Professionalism.
Your reflection does not necessarily have to reflection on all 4 areas.
