On Saturday, May 20, the University of Utah Engineering Alumni Association will partner with the Utah Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE-UT) and the Utah Department of Occupational and Professional Licensing to bring together experts from a variety of engineering fields for a full-day Continuing Education Conference.
Invited speakers will deliver lectures on both theory and practice, as well as local, national, and international issues. Beyond learning and networking opportunities, the conference will enable professional engineers to earn continuing education hours toward license renewal.
