We are again offer- ing 4 hours of distance learning for sessions on Indiana Statutes and Ethics for Professional Engineering, scheduled for Monday and Wednesday.
Many of you may have noticed that the impact of the technical program lasts well beyond the three-day event. Since 2011 we have archived Road School presentations in the Purdue Libraries’ online repository, and in 2015 we added Road School proceedings dating back to 1924. To date these proceedings and presentations have been downloaded more than 165,000 times. This impact would not be possible without the strong participation of colleagues and stakeholders who have shaped the program, which this year includes more than 150 presentations involving nearly 300 speakers and moderators.
