Thisinformation should be invaluable to those developing curricula and designing and deliveringcontinuing professional development for engineers.IntroductionThe need for CEE has been well-documented [1]. Continuing education is critical for workingengineers because of the breadth of processes and equipment they design and use and because ofrapid changes in technology [2].

Also, in high school, I enjoyed and did well in my math and science courses. Part of using the Vocational Rehabilitation program through the VA is an aptitude assessment. My scores on that test also determined that engineering was best suited for my skill set and understanding. • I like breaking things to see how they work as well as building and creating new things and used to think math was fun. • It seemed like a good route for being a pilot in the military. • My associates degree was in engineering technology and I wanted to further that
