MICHIGAN PDH FOR ENGINEERS

30 PDH biennially

Beginning in January 2023, as a part of the new automated MiPlus system, license expiration dates will be changing to coincide with the original date of licensure. This mean your license may be valid for an additional 1 to 12 months depending on your actual licensing date. The extended license period is for the first renewal on the MiPlus system only. No additional continuing education is required for the additional time added to the license period and all continuing education must be completed before your expiration date. Please contact the board if you are unsure of your renewal date.

The Board does not pre-approve providers or specific courses. Each engineer must determine whether an activity meets the Board’s requirements.

Not Accepted Topic Areas:

1. Business Skills

2. Firm Management

3. Personal Development

The catalog on this website lists courses and webinars by Topic Areas. Due to Board restrictions on content, you should avoid earning your PDH in the Topic Areas listed above.

Effective March 2022, the board has added a requirement that 2 PDH in each renewal period must cover the subject of engineering ethics.

Courses must have a clear purpose and objective that will maintain, improve, or expand the skills and knowledge relevant to the licensee’s area of practice. The Board’s Administrative rules (R 339.16041) allow “online continuing education hours” that meet certain criteria. NoonPi’s courses fall under the following activity codes:

(a) Completing a continuing education program or activity related to professional engineering that is approved or offered for continuing education credit by any of the following: Another state’s board of engineers.

NoonPi is a pre-approved provider of PDH in every state that requires approval, and our approval letters are readily available.

(i) Participating in a company-sponsored or hosted seminar or training that is designed to enhance professional development in the licensee’s area of professional practice.  If audited, a licensee shall submit documentation or a certificate of completion issued by the company presenting the seminar or training showing the licensee’s name, company name, subject of seminar or training, and the date on which the seminar or training was held.

NoonPi’s certificates of completion meet the above criteria.

Please note that the Board’s rules allow an engineer to earn no more than 12 PDH in a 24-hour period.

Continuing education hours are not granted for a program or activity that has substantially the same content of a program or activity for which the applicant has already earned continuing education hours during the renewal period

Regular duties of employment cannot be counted as continuing education hours. There is no limit on the number of PDHs that can be earned through online continuing education.

There is no provision for carryover of hours earned in excess of the requirement.
