TWO NEW PUBLICATIONS FOCUS ON
ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING

Drawn from U.S. government and industry-specific sources, two
new ACEC publications provide information and analysis on
the economic impact and weight of the
engineering and construction industry
on each state and on the nation.
"ACEC Quarterly Economic
Reports" feature information on five
economic trends, construction spending
by market sector, and quarterly revenues
for A/E firms.
ACEC's "State Sheets" are a snapshot
of each state and include information related to gross domestic
product, engineering employment and construction spending
per state. The data provided offers insight for engineering firm
managers, as well as a sound starting point for discussions with
policymakers on the importance of the engineering industry and
infrastructure to a robust U.S. economy.

REGISTERED CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM

For engineers, surveyors and design professionals, the
Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) provides
a one-stop online shop for all educational activities,
including continuing education record keeping, uniform
and reliable transcripts for state licensing boards, up-todate continuing education and licensure requirements by
jurisdiction and a master calendar of Registered Education
Providers.
More than 102,000 design professionals use RCEP
online to manage their continuing education. Originally
developed in 2008 by the National Council of Examiners
for Engineering and Surveying in conjunction with ACEC,
RCEP is now administered by ACEC with support from the
American Society of Civil Engineers.
As a special feature, state licensing board authorities can
audit RCEP subscribers directly from the RCEP system.
RCEP is a resource for firms to manage and track their staff 's
continuing education programs. Firms can create customized
reports to track continuing education credits earned toward
renewing licenses, identify specific courses and seminars for
staff improvement, and use RCEP to recognize and award
merit increases to employees for their continuing education
achievements.
