The American Consulting Engineers Council (ACEC) and the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) have formed an alliance with KeepSmart.com to create the Alliance for Continuing Education for Engineers (ACE²), which will provide affordable and convenient online continuing education courses for engineering professionals. Online learning costs one-third less than off-site classroom training and consumes half the time, according to U.S. Department of Commerce estimates. Users of ACE² programs reportedly enjoy the convenience of immediately accessible CD-ROM and web-based training that allows for just-in-time learning. Professionals can purchase individual courses, and engineering and architectural firms can purchase subscriptions to the ACE² library of continuing education courses.
