Continuing Education Credit Information
This seminar is open to the public and offers up to 6.5 HSW continuing education/clock hours to architects and landscape architects and 6.5 PDHs to professional engineers in most states*, including Pennsylvania engineers and landscape architects. Courses and course providers are not subject to pre-approval in Pennsylvania.
This seminar is approved by the American Institute of Architects for 6.5 HSW Learning Units (Sponsor No. J885) and the Landscape Architect Continuing Education System for 6.5 HSW PDHs.
HalfMoon Education is an approved continuing education sponsor for architects in Florida and is deemed an approved sponsor for architects and landscape architects in New York. HalfMoon Education is an approved continuing education sponsor for engineers in Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey (Approval No. 24GP00000700), New York (NYSED Sponsor No. 35), North Carolina, and North Dakota.
*NEW YORK ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, and LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS: Deduct a half hour of continuing education credit for Pennsylvania-specific course content.
The Association of State Floodplain Managers has approved this seminar for 6.5 CECs for certified floodplain managers.

Speakers
Albert Jarrett
Dr. Jarrett is Professor Emeritus of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. He has over 40 years of experience teaching and researching erosion and sediment control, water management, impoundment design, drainage, and stormwater management. Dr. Jarrett has taught soil and water management to engineers and non-engineers. He has prepared engineers for careers in the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the engineering consulting industry, especially land development projects with both stormwater and erosion and sediment control plans as required in Pennsylvania. Basic soils and water-movement elements of soil physics have been part of his courses. Dr. Jarrett is considered one of the leading erosion control researchers and has contributed many refereed publications, textbooks, and extension fact sheets relating to stormwater management and erosion and sediment control. He is a member of the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) and a fellow in the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.
