We have had a string of product reps calling lately offering "lunch and learns" for us to satisfy the requirement of the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners (TBAE) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA). All registered architects are required to complete a total of 18 hours of instruction on a variety of topics in every renewal period. Eight (8) Continuing Education Units (CEU's) for the TBAE and an additional ten (10) hours for membership in the AIA.
All 8 CEU's required by the TBAE must include the study of subjects related to your profession and be pertinent to the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
§ At least one of the eight hours must be related to sustainable or energy-efficient design
§ At least one of the eight hours must be related to barrier-free design.
§ At least five of the eight hours must be structured activities, (classroom/classroom equivalent)
§ A maximum of three hours may be self-directed.
