Continuing Education Conference at the University of Utah

The Utah Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE-UT), the University of Utah Engineering Alumni Association, and the Utah Department of Occupational and Professional Licensing are partnering again this year to hold a full-day Continuing Education Conference.

This free event will be held on Saturday, May 20 2023 at the University of Utah Warnock Engineering Building.  It is a great opportunity for all Utah PEs to learn and earn continuing education hours toward license renewal.  A virtual broadcast will be offered again this year so the Conference can reach those not able to attend in person.  Lunch will be available for a small fee (NSPE members and presenters eat free).

Registration for the conference closed on May 15.
You may still attend the conference in person as a walk-in or request the virtual link by email: uspe.board@gmail.com  We will have a limited number of lunches available for walk-ins to purchase.

The Utah Society of Professional Engineers, NSPE-UT, is pleased to announce the 2022 Continuing Education Conference for all Utah Professional Engineers (PEs).

This event is presented in partnership with Utah DOPL, University of Utah Engineering Alumni Association and GoEngineer. It is free to all licensed Utah PEs and will include informative engineering-related content from knowledgeable presenters in several discipline areas. PEs can receive PDHs toward re-licensure for sessions they attend.

For the first time, the conference will be broadcast via Zoom Webinar for those who cannot attend in person and to reach those who live away from the Wasatch Front – please register to receive a link to the broadcast.

We encourage you to take a moment to review the agenda and register for the conference and hope to see you there!
