CPD News and Articles

The subject of CPD has evoked a great deal of discussion and debate over the past few years, much of it covered in the Structural Engineer journal and local Branch newsletters:

  1. Why Bother with CPD? - Brian Clancy
    Structural Engineer 7 March 2000 - Vol 78 No 5
  2. CPD Returns Again! - Joe McGlade
    Northern Ireland Branch News - January 2000
  3. Professional Development: Annual Returns - Robert Wilson
    February 2000
  4. Making your CPD return: a question of professional pride - The Structural Engineer 16 March 2004
The Institution is keen to increase the percentage of members who submit their Annual Returns and to this end it has introduced a number of initiatives to support members and improve the standard and number of returns. Over the past three years reminder letters have been dispatched to selected branches and in 2002 the Return was emailed to all members for the first time. Both initiatives have had a positive response. To benefit from this email service, please register your address in the Member's Quarter by clicking here.
