Why Continuing Education Matters for Structural Engineers 

Structural engineers design and evaluate the frameworks that shape the world—from bridges and towers to hospitals and schools. Your work ensures every structure is safe, efficient, and resilient for decades to come.  

Continuing education helps you stay current with evolving codes, materials, and seismic design practices while maintaining your Professional Engineer (PE) license.  

Most state licensing boards require engineers to complete a set number of Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or Continuing Education Units (CEUs) during each renewal period—typically 15 - 30 PDHs every one to two years—to demonstrate continued professional competency and protect public welfare.  

Amber Book’s PDH-aligned courses make it simple to stay compliant while actually learning something valuable. Each course delivers technical rigor with real-world relevance, helping you strengthen your expertise in design, analysis, and material performance while leading with safety, sustainability, and innovation.
