Ethics Workshops Currently Offered by
Rossiter & Associates

» Jump to schedule of upcoming workshops «

The Texas Engineering Practice Act now mandates a Continuing Education Program (CEP). All license holders require 15 Professional Development Hour (PDH) units of continuing education annually as a condition of license renewal. There is also a requirement that a minimum of 1 PDH per renewal period must be "in the area of professional ethics, roles and responsibilities of professional engineering, or review of the Texas Engineering Practice Act and Board Rules." In general, 1 PDH is equivalent to one clock hour or contact hour of CEP activity. The material covered must be "relevant to the practice of a technical profession and may include technical, ethical, or managerial content."

All Rossiter & Associates Ethics Programs are designed to satisfy the CEP "ethics" requirements and count towards the overall 15 PDH requirement.

Engineering Ethics: 2010 Home Study Options

This program is a fully revised and updated 2010 version of the "Engineering Ethics: Principles and Practice" seminar. It includes a new selection of ethics case studies from the NSPE, and Enforcement Actions of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers for 2009. If you enjoyed "Engineering Ethics: Principles and Practice", "Engineering Ethics 2008" or "Engineering Ethics 2009", this course is for you!
Certificates of participation provided for 2 PDH credit.

If you can't attend an event in person, we also offer several home study courses available either by e-mail or on a CD-ROM. Examples include:
The Professional Excellence Home Study Course (4 PDH): why people work - motivation in the workplace - foundations of professional excellence - 7 elements of professional excellence - ethics basics - codes of ethics for engineers - ethics case studies - reported enforcement actions under the Texas Engineering Practice Act and Board Rules.
They Did What in 2009? (1 PDH): An update of the popular "They Did What?" courses, this home study module examines reported violations of the Texas Engineering Practice Act and Board Rules, and associated enforcement actions, in 2009. It includes enforcement actions related to failure to register an engineering firm, dishonest & unethical conduct, undisclosed conflicts of interest, action in another jurisdiction, lack of care & diligence, unlawful practice of engineering, failure to act as a faithful agent, inappropriate use of an engineering seal, fraud, and felony conviction.
Certificates of completion for 1 PDH credit will be mailed upon receipt of your completed answer sheet.
