UPCOMING CENTRAL CHAPTER SEMINAR:
SE vs. PE ACTS
JULY 21, 2010 - SPRINGFIELD, IL

The Central Chapter is pleased to present a three-hour workshop discussion on the responsibilities of structural engineers versus those of professional engineers. 

The legislation for the Structural Engineering Practice Act and the Professional Engineering Practice Act were recently renewed by the Illinois Legislature and each Act was modified in the process.  These changes affect practicing engineers and those working toward becoming licensed.  Many engineers are not familiar with the requirements of their profession and unnecessarily take the risk of violating licensing laws.  In this seminar, the participants will discuss each act and its rules, the recent changes to the acts and the similarities and differences between them.    Topics include educational and exam requirements for licensees, competency, continuing education, violations, discipline, and plan sealing requirements.   Mr. Greifzu will provide his insights on engineer licensure as a member of a State Board and NCEES.

David Greifzu is an Illinois licensed structural engineer and professional engineer and is employed by the Illinois Department of Transportation.  He holds BS and MS degrees in civil engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a member of the National Council of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors (NCEES) and the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois where he is an officer in the Downstate Chapter.  David is also a member of the Illinois Structural Engineering Board. 

This workshop will provide 3.0 hours of continuing education. Reservations are required and may be made by calling Donna Childs at the SEAOI office at (312) 726-4165 x200. Click here to download a registration form. Attendance at the full session is required for continuing education credit.
