For professionals in the design and construction industries, continuing education is not only a requirement but a means of ensuring that designers stay up to date on the latest research, innovations, and options available for future projects. Continuing its drive toward the design and construction of high-performance structures, PCI wants to ensure that professionals have a full understanding and knowledge of high-performance precast concrete and its benefits, applications, and design methodologies.

PCI’s Online Academy is a continuing education series for engineering professionals and students. Each online course consists of weekly, 90-minute sessions over a period of four to six weeks. Continuing education credits will be awarded at the conclusion of each course. 

The courses are taught by leading professors and industry experts in precast, prestressed concrete design. These subject matter experts have significant experience teaching precast, prestressed concrete topics and format classes to optimize learning.

Participants are not required to have prior precast, prestressed concrete experience. Program content will be technical and useful to those designing precast, prestressed concrete structures or who intend to do so in the near future, such as licensed engineers, EITs, professors, and graduate and undergraduate students.
