ACCE On Continuing Education Courses

What is the ACCE?
Administrative Committee on Continuing Education

Why have an ACCE?
The Structural Engineering Institute is very interested in developing a strong continuing education program for its members and the profession. To address that need, SEI established the Administrative Committee on Continuing Education (ACCE).

How is ACCE different from the ASCE Continuing Education program?
This program is separate and distinct from ASCE Continuing Education courses in several important ways. First, the ACCE seminars will be delivered primarily through SEI Local Activities Division, local SEI committees or similar organizations (state structural engineering association, local SECA structural committees, etc.) rather than through a centralized structure. Second, the cost and schedule will appeal to practicing engineers. SEI intends that the cost will be nominal ($50-$250 depending on the length and content) or free. Third, the course content will be tightly focused on the practical application of recent knowledge (technology transfer as opposed to discussions of recent research or overviews of broad topics). Finally, some of the courses may be designed to be highly portable to enable local expects to present the material with minimal preparation.

How can I submit a proposal to be considered for a seminar or workshop?
If you or your committee on which you serve feels you have one or more ideas for such seminars, the next step is to develop a short proposal. SEI will provide some compensation to course developers.

How do I get a proposal form?
