IEEE Continuing Education Courses and Degree Programs
 IEEE members worldwide have said they want more continuing education opportunities. And they expect IEEE, the world's largest technical professional society, to provide those opportunities. Through agreements with continuing education providers, The IEEE Continuing Education Providers Program (CEP) strives to meet the needs of its members by providing a value-added member benefit, as well as an additional marketing channel and revenue stream for its providers. Providers worldwide are offering continuing education opportunities to IEEE members who will receive a minimum 10 percent discount on courses towards degree programs, continuing education units (CEUs) and professional development hours (PDHs).
