An engineer with more than 55 years of experience, Paul Angelides serves as president of his own engineering firm in Syosset, New York. Active in his professional community, Paul Angelides belongs to the National Academy of Forensic Engineers, which is committed to the continued education of its members.
The National Academy of Forensic Engineers (NAFE) requires that members, senior members, and fellows take part in continuing professional development (CPD) to remain up-to-date on the latest developments in forensic engineering. All members and fellows who have completed 100 CPD credits over the previous five years are considered to be in good standing and receive a three-year certification as Diplomates in Forensic Engineering in accordance with the requirements of the Council of Engineering Specialty Boards. CPD information must continue to be updated each year.
Individuals applying for membership to NAFE must also provide evidence of CPD completion. CPD credit may be acquired from among five categories - academic credits (AC), self-study credits (SC), practice credits (PC), contact credits (CC), and community volunteer credits (CV).
To help members advance their professional development and meet CPD requirements, NAFE hosts two annual educational seminar events, one in the summer and another in the winter. Members can obtain as many as 32 credits per year through these two-day seminars.
