THE PROGRAM
What You’ll Learn
Across five units and 22 modules, you’ll move from foundational AI literacy for SEs through hands-on tool use, honest treatment of where AI fails, discipline-specific applications like seismic and lateral design, and the governance and policy questions your firm is already asking.
The course is fully on-demand, so you move through it on your own schedule. Complete all five units and the final assessment to earn 11.5 PDHs.
Every unit is built specifically for structural engineers — developed by the NCSEA Innovation Council, not generic AI training with your job title pasted in.

WHO IT’S FOR
Built for People Who Stamp the Work
The program is built for:
- Engineers already using AI who want to know their habits would survive a peer review
- Engineers new to AI who want a practical introduction — no computer science degree required
- Mid-career and senior engineers deciding where AI belongs in technical work — and where it doesn’t
- Firm leaders and project managers responsible for how their teams use AI, not just whether they do
- Technology and innovation leads tasked with picking tools, setting policy, and guiding responsible adoption
- Emerging professionals and students who’ll spend their entire careers working alongside these tools
