“Technology in the Professional Design Firm - A ‘non-Techie’ View,”
1 CES/HSW Unit
Presented by Larry Rocha, Assoc. AIA of WATG.

The design firm's dependence on technology increases everyday. From email to CAD, the profession has become reliant on technology to improve efficiency and communication. Some would argue that it has done the opposite. Taking a "non-techie" look at managing technology in practice, this session is intended for managers of offices or firms. We'll discuss what other firms are doing and how much they're spending on hardware, software, people, internet connectivity and consulting. We'll explore how technology has changed and will change the way we work and communicate. Additionally, we'll look at a few technologies that will influence the profession over the next few years.

   
Time: 12:00 p.m. Check-in
12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. Seminar
   
Location: AIA Orange County

Annual Learning Unit Requirement:

All active AIA members must successfully complete 18 learning unit (LU) hours each year, with at least 8 of the 18 LU hours relating to health, safety, and/or welfare (HSW).

  • A member who fails to meet the annual requirement will be given a one-year grace period. Any credit earned in the following year will apply toward the deficit. During the first nine months of the grace period, members are able to report retroactively any activities that were completed in the previous year.
  • A member who exceeds the annual requirement may carry up to 18 LU hours (including eight hours of HSW) over to the next year. Carryover credit can be used for one year only; it is not cumulative. Only the number of credits needed to fulfill the annual requirement for the following year may be carried over. Extra credit may not be carried past the one-year limit.

NOTE: Most state licensing boards do not allow carryover and deficit credit. States have strict continuing education timeframes, and credits must be earned within them. Currently, 28 states require mandatory continuing education.
