The IEEE Credentialing Program, administered through IEEE Educational Activities, is an authorized provider of Professional Development Hours (PDHs) and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for engineers. The program also offers certificates of participation and digital badges. Credentials are issued to learners and securely stored on behalf of IEEE educational event and conference organizers and and external education training providers for qualified educational events. Indviduals may also earn certificates by completing select IEEE courses on the IEEE Learning Network.

Learn more about the IEEE Credentialing Program or reach out to eab-ceuadmin@ieee.org. To offer IEEE Certificates (PDHs or CEUs) or badges at your events, submit a request here to ake advantage of the IEEE Credentialing Program and the convenient pricing options. 

 

 
University Education Programs

University Education Programs promote and enhance the content and delivery of engineering, computing, and technology (ECT) education, globally.  These programs primarily serve university educators, students, and ECT department heads; secondarily serving administrators.  The programs consist of engineering accreditation, faculty resources, educational curriculum, and student academic resources. 

 

 

 

 

The IEEE Teaching Excellence Hub is a collaboration between the IEEE Education Society and the IEEE Educational Activities Board.  It contains a curated collection of educational research, journals, tools, and other resources that may be of interest to those teaching engineering, computer science, and technology at the university level.  The content is reviewed by the Teaching Excellence Hub Editorial Board. The board includes members from all ten IEEE regions, reflecting the global nature of IEEE.
