Currently, the number ofrequired PDH’s (in the 32 states that do require Continuing Professional Development) rangesfrom 4 per year in Florida, 8 per year in Virginia, 12 per year in five states, and 15 per year in theremaining 25 states. By raising the CPD requirements to 45 PDH’s per year, an engineer wouldgarner the equivalent of 12 credits hours in the first four years of service as an EngineeringIntern, enough equivalent credit hours for an MS after 10 years, and enough hours for a PhDafter about 20 years.

A number of hands-on activities were developed and implementedin the freshman engineering program as a result of the DLR project2,3, 4. Engineering Exploration(EngE1024), a freshman engineering course required of all engineering undergraduates, is themost affected course by the DLR project in the general engineering (also called freshmanengineering) program. This course primarily focuses on hands-on design, problem solving,professional ethics and skills, and critical thinking skills5. This course is taken by
