AIA Continuing Education
Professional Development Series for
Architects and Professional Engineers
Pratt Institute Center for Continuing and Professional Studies located in
Chelsea at 144 West 14th Street announces Professional Development
Series for Architects and Professional Engineers.
Drawing on Pratt’s historically superior Architecture curriculum, we
are pleased to announce our expanded program registered with the
American Institute of Architects, Continuing Education System (AIA/
CES). The Professional Development program guarantees excellent
instruction and a forum for exchanging ideas. Classes are determined
by the subject matters that are most needed by practitioners.
As an Authorized Autodesk Training Center, Pratt Manhattan’s Center
for Continuing and Professional Studies offers quality education in
accordance with the AIA/CES criteria. For additional AIA/CES approved
courses in AutoCAD, Vectorworks, form•Z and more, please call us at
212-647-7199 for a brochure or visit our website at http://prostudies.
pratt.edu.
For the Architect
New York State Licensing Board law requires architects to complete
36 professionally related continuing education hours for every three
year registration period. Of the 36 hours, 24 must relate directly to
HSW issues.
For the Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor
Every New York State licensed and registered professional engineer
and land surveyor must complete continuing education. Professional
engineers will be required to complete 36 hours of continuing education
during each three year registration period. Land Surveyors will be
required to complete 24 hours of continuing education during each
three year registration period. Please see courses with PDH’s noted.
State Approval
It is your responsibility to check with the state licensing boards as to
whether or not a course is acceptable to meet its continuing education
credit requirements. Visit Pratt’s website at http://prostudies.pratt.edu
for courses not acceptable to NYS or see courses that state:
Not accepted by NYS for LU, PDH credit.
For more information, visit the website for New York State Education
Department, Office of the Professions at http://www.op.nysed.gov/.
Pratt AIA On-site Offerings
These lectures can be delivered on-site to corporate clients. For further
information, please contact Karen Adler Miletsky at kmiletsk@pratt.edu.
Registration Deadlines
Registration deadlines for all courses are one week prior to course start
dates, unless otherwise noted. Exceptions will be allowed based on
space availability. We recommend that you register early.

                Sustainable Building, Infrastructure Design and Management
                Designers have long been able to meet the needs of their clients and
                businesses by using their creativity to blend form and function. Today’s
                world of limited resources and changing economic and environmental
                values requires a new set of tools to design a sustainable world.
                This certificate program, Sustainable Building and Infrastructure Design
                and Management, brings designers into 21st Century design by building
                on their existing design skills and enhancing them with cutting edge skills
                and knowledge, enabling them to meet the new goals and challenges of
                sustainability.
                Why Choose Pratt Institute?
                For over a century, Pratt Institute has combined the practice of art
                and practicality by educating artists and designers in its traditional art,
                design and architecture classes, at the graduate, undergraduate and
                professional levels.
                This program brings Pratt and you to a new level and a new world of art
                and design, again in a practical way.
                You will learn about the driving forces which are changing your client’s needs
                and the tools needed to meet those challenges and design a sustainable
                world. In short you will become part of the solution and be able to assist
                your clients and businesses in succeeding in a carbon constrained world.
                Recommended audience: architects; engineers; interior designers; urban
                planners; facilities and construction management professionals; contractors;
                and government agency professionals.
                Application fee: $100, non-refundable
                Certificate Requirements: The certificate program requires the successful
