- The ULC grants National Society of Professional Engineers (NPSE) professional
development hours (PDHs) for selected PROSPECT courses. Recognition by the
National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) verifies the
quality of these ULC courses and provides an accepted measure of continuing
educational units appropriate to each offering. Many state licensing bodies or
certifying bodies accept courses registered with NSPE. The individual
professionals have the responsibility for determining the requirements for their
appropriate licensing bodies. PROSPECT course descriptions on our website and
course completion certificates indicate the number of PDHs earned.
