ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to develop a proposal for a CPD plan for Professional Engineers (PE) through the systematic operation of professional training. The study analyzed the current status and cases of CPD of PE and suggested ways to improve education and training, including curriculum development, operation, organization systems and regulations. CPD of PE has been operating since 2007 for the purpose of maintaining and improving the professional knowledge and technical competence of PEs. The CPD system requires the completion of 90 credits, including 8 credits of ethics and safety during the five years after a job registration. The CDP system for PE needs to develop the capacity to incorporate the latest knowledge in professional field and proactively respond to the demands of the industry in alignment with professional expertise and responsibility. To this end, the study suggests continuous development of the curriculum, the use of contents from other educational institutions, expansion and reorganization of the relevant organization, the acquisition of education specialists, rational improvement of the PE CDP system, and the revision of laws and regulations.
