Web series is intended to initiate a dialogue in the various engineering and technical fields for general awareness and education purposes. This is an avenue for engineering practitioners to share their knowledge and experience that can facilitate the professional development of the participants. Professional Development Hours (PDH) can be provided to the attendees who follow the due process. The two-hour (2 PDH) monthly session encompasses technical talks followed by questions and answers. This is open to the public. However, the content and format of the session can vary from month to month to accommodate the topics and resource availability.
