How good is your license good for in TX SMott? We passed the same year and I don't have to renew until 2017.

FML...did my 15 PDH for license renewal, only to find out when I renewed online that I'm exempt from needing them, due to first time renewal.

We can carry over 15 hrs in Ga.

Yearly here in TX. And everyone renews at the same time, from my understanding.

Can carry over 14, the ethics hour must be done each year and cannot carry over.

I signed up for online access to courses, unlimited for the next year, with the hopes of getting this year/next year/and year following out of the one subscription. Now I'm out a year, since I didn't need them this renewal period.

I wish the states had a unified policy regarding PDHs. It would certainly make things a lot easier. I know NYS doesn't allow carry over of PDHs. Also the number of PDHs required is different by state. I know NYS requires 36, 1 of which must be an ethics hour.

>>scratch my head<<

The only thing that doesn't carry over in Texas is the hour of ethics. Have to do that every year.

MA has no PDH requirements so I got lucky there. That's one of the reasons I let my LEED BD+C expire and am just sticking with my LEED AP credentials.

Teaming with a CM on a design build project. We know the client's max budget is $XX million. CM is submitting our proposal at $1.7 M over. We're toast.

They always have contingency money. ????

They always have contingency money.

That's what change orders are for.

 

[P-E]

They always have contingency money.

Contingency is $1M. Still toast.

Turn in the number with (VE) value engineering suggestions.

Here are some resources I've picked up along the way for my CEU's/PDH's:

http://www.pdhengineer.com/

http://nspe.redvector.com/

http://www.pdhonline.org/

http://www.engineer-cloud.com/

http://www.cedengineering.com/

https://www.engineereducators.com/

Also, as others have mentioned above, being a member of a professional organization sometimes can help in offering courses/webinars or making references. When you join NSPE, I believe they still offer 15 free credits as a member perk.

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

I can confirm the 15 free PDHs with the NSPE membership. Definitely worth it.

They finally "upgraded" us to Office 2013, and I hate every f*cking thing about it, particularly Outlook.

I hated it at first but it does grow on you
