The Denver International Airport (DIA) is renowned for its iconic tent-like structure, but it is also infamous in engineering and project management circles for its ambitious yet flawed automated baggage-handling system. This system, which was intended to revolutionize the airport industry, instead became a case study in the pitfalls of over-ambitious engineering and poor project management.
However, there are times when an engineering board might reject PDH submissions. Understanding these potential pitfalls can help you better plan your continuing education and ensure that each hour you invest counts toward your professional development.
This blog article aims to explore the significance of PDH, how it promotes career growth, and the various ways to accrue these valuable hours. It's here that Professional Development Hours (PDH) come into play, providing a structure for engineers to maintain their professional competency.
We will examine why you should avoid delaying your PDH acquisition and explore how early and consistent engagement can benefit your professional growth.
This article examines the interplay of ethics and PDH in engineering practice, elucidating how ethics-related courses contribute to PDH, and the value they bring in enhancing engineering solutions and fortifying public trust.
