0.4 CEUs will be offered for this session.  You must register in order to receive CEUs. Effectively July 19, 2012 IEEE began awarding 'IEEE CEUs' under the standards set by the IEEE Educational Activities Board, and has withdrawn from the CEU program managed by IACET (the International Association of Continuing Education and Training). IEEE Continuing Education Programs are peer-reviewed by content experts. This peer review guarantees both quality of the technical content of learning materials, as well as adherence to IEEE’s strict criteria for educational excellence. All programs that pass this strict process are entitled to award IEEE Continuing Education Units (CEUs), recognized as the standard of excellence for continuing education programs in IEEE’s fields of interest. (Please note, in order to receive these credits towards a Florida PE License, you MUST provide Thomas Arnold with your FL PE License number prior to the session.)
