Paul Angelides has functioned as president of the Syosset, New York, engineering firm Paul J. Angelides, PE, PC, since 1987. In addition to his work at the firm, he spends time engaging with professional organizations such as the National Academy of Forensic Engineers.
The National Academy of Forensic Engineers (NAFE) represents the ethical and professional interests of the nation’s forensic engineering industry. NAFE presents members with an array of valuable resources and professional services, including opportunities for continuing professional development (CPD). The organization makes 28 credit hours available to members each year at two-day educational seminars held in the summer and winter. CDP credits are recognized in New York, Florida, and North Carolina, though certificates may be accepted in audition submissions in other states.
CDP opportunities are generally categorized as either Regular NAFE Seminars or Special NAFE Seminars. Regular CDP opportunities present members with 10 technical papers on a number of modern forensic engineering subjects over the course of a full day. Individuals who complete a regular seminar receive seven CDP credits. Special seminars, meanwhile, emphasize specific areas of the industry, and are also worth seven credits.
More information regarding CDP opportunities with NAFE can be found online at www.nafe.org.
