In this fast changing and dynamic environment, there is a need for professional engineers to maintain and update their professional competence on a continuing basis.
The objective of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program is to reinforce the need for lifelong learning and to provide a framework through which Professional Engineers could systematically maintain and enhance competency to do a job in their area of expertise.
As a professional engineer may be operating under circumstances which are unique to him, the focus of the CPD activities is best left to each professional engineer to decide. The principle is that the relevant CPD activities must be those related to the scope of practice of each Professional Engineer.
Professional Engineers should each be required to obtain a minimum of 90 Professional Development Hour (PDH) within every three years in accordance with the revised of the Professional Engineers Act (Act.8268) on Jan 26, 2007.
And if a professional engineer who has obtained insufficient PDH with the required period, he/she will be required to pay a \1,000,000 penalty in accordance with Article 22 of the Professional Engineers Act.
A professional engineer who wishes to be an International Registered Professional Engineer, is required to obtain a minimum of 150 Professional Development Hour (PDH) over a renewal qualifying period of three years.
