Professional Development Hours (PDH) Requirements
Texas professional engineers are required to earn 15 PDH annually. All of the required hours can be earned through online continuing education courses. EZpdh.com courses are accepted by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. The following table shows a quick rundown of license renewal requirements.
Subject Requirement Hours Required 15 hours annually Renewal Dates March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 based on the initial date of licensure Course Approval The Board does not require pre-approval for providers or specific courses. Each engineer must determine whether an activity meets the Board's requirements Course Content The course must have a “clear purpose and objective which will maintain, improve, or expand the skills and knowledge relevant to the licensee's field of practice”At least 1 PDH must be earned in Professional Ethics Online Courses Accepted. For Professional Engineers, there is no limit on the number of PDHs that can be earned through online continuing education. PDH Carryover A maximum of 14 PDH may be carried forward into the next renewal period Additional - PDH completion records must be maintained for a minimum of 3 years. EZpdh helps you meet this requirement by providing you with the ability to instantly access and print a certificate upon successful completion of a course. Additionally, your certificates of completion are securely maintained by EZpdh for a minimum of seven years and can be accessed online at any time through your login account
