Try attending meetings for ASCE, ASHE, ADSC, DFI, etc.

My goal is - Free or little cost.
Here are some other sources - CONTECH Engineered Solutions; Bentley; DiscountPDH.COM; RON BLANK & Associates, Inc.; greence.com; pdhengineer.com; online-pdh.com/engcourses.
And I don't really care if it really applies to my structural work; who knows when I may need to know about "The Use of Geogrids in Railroad Applications"? It still counts!

The best technical stuff I've seen was put on by ASCE or ASME (the ACSE 7 Wind Design was excellent, I thought). Occasionally, I'll run across seminars in my field of work that are actually useful in addition to filling the time.
I've done one or two Red Vector courses that took about half the time they were supposed to, which is not a good situation.
I've taken ethics classes through the Texas Tech program and also the NM SPE had some video courses.

There are software companies that teach classes as well. I know we (RISA) have a 3 day (24 PDH's) training class that we teach a few times a year. I really prefer when folks come because they want to really learn the material rather than just get some PDH's. But, every now and then we get some folks who are just desperate for their PDH's.

Just be sure what your state's requirements are: some are more stringent than others. In one state I'm registered in (for example) X number of hours at every renewal have to be from a(n) approved provider who is a live instructor....that I had to leave the premises where I work to go see. It just varies.....for me, one or two states control my pdh effort: I satisfy them and the others fall into place.

These requirements have opened up revenue streams for all kinds of entities "selling" PDH's. I've always tried to keep my skills sharp. Now I have to document this for several "Big Brother's". Instead of protecting/defending it's members, organizations such as ASCE, have jumped on board to make additional income. Just being an ASCE member should provide credit for half of the continuing education requirements.

AWC (American Wood Council) used to have free one day seminars/trade shows where you could get a chunk of PDH's. But I don't see any on their calendars. Once again, you even got a free lunch.

CE News http://www.cenews.com/ has an insert that if you read and take an on line quiz, gets you a PDH.
My company is big enough to have pretty frequent "Brown Bags" (aka Lunch and Learns) that I use all the time for PDH's. If they're technical, I count them.
I've been audited twice and passed with flying colors. I don't think the Boards want to fail anyone who shows they take it seriously.
