All proceeds from this conference will go to the CEEn Scholarship Society Endowment that is dedicated to supporting engineering students attending Brigham Young University.
The Conference program is specifically designed to provide immediately applicable technical and professional information for engineers at all levels by offering three concurrent programs (tracks) for attendees to choose from. Track 1 is an abbreviated PE Refresher course that will review the basics of each of the major areas included in the PE Exam. The timing of this refresher will be perfect - just a couple weeks prior to the exam. Track 2 will be a Management program that will focus on subjects applicable to project managers, principals, and current/future owners of engineering companies. Track 3 is a Technical program that is focused on state-of-the-practice topics applicable to a wide range of engineering projects and will be taught primarily by current BYU CEEn professors. Attendees who participate fully in the Life-Long Conference will earn up to 15.5 professional development hours.
Anyone interested in the professional development sessions is welcome to attend. Whether you are a recent graduate or the manager of a large engineering firm, this conference covers a wide spectrum of topics that can help you in your profession and provide opportunities to network with your peers. All alumni are especially encouraged to attend!
