The Board has established the NBEA Lunch and Learn Webinar Series, geared toward the public, licensees, and local jurisdiction officials. These webinars provide individuals with information pertinent to the Board and the Nebraska Engineers and Architects Regulation Act (the Act) at no additional charge and allow the Board to reach individuals in all Nebraska districts. These webinars are scheduled for each quarter, and topics will vary by quarter.
All webinars are live and interactive, enabling both the instructor(s) and attendees to give, receive, and discuss information in real-time. They are typically held on Mondays or Wednesdays from 12 to 1 PM (central time) and are designed to qualify for 1 hour of architecture- and engineering-related continuing education.
Important information regarding the NBEA Lunch and Learn Webinars:
- It is anticipated the Board will give continuing education credit for the webinar, but as a reminder, the Board DOES NOT pre-approve continuing education offerings.
- Certificates WILL NOT be issued as attendance verification. If you participate in the entire presentation, you will receive an email within the next week confirming your attendance. You may need to check your email Junk folder for the email confirmation.
- If an individual would like to claim professional development hours from the webinar, they will need to register individually as the attendance roster is generated from WebEx based on each individual email address or phone number that is logged into the webinar.
- For those who register, an email confirmation will be sent to each registrant with instructions. Registration for each free webinar will be opened several weeks in advance. There is a maximum of 1,000 attendees for each webinar.
- These webinars will not be reported to AIA.

Upcoming Webinar
Join us for the next installment of the NBEA Lunch and Learn Webinar Series—a free, interactive session designed to keep you up to date on important topics, including:
• The E&A Act
• Potential updates to Board Rules
• When licensed architects and professional engineers need to be involved in a project's design
This session is especially valuable for construction companies, contractors, lumberyards, and drafting firms in Nebraska—but all licensees and members of the public are encouraged to attend!
The Board values its partnerships with local industry professionals. By working together, we can:
• Ensure only properly licensed design professionals engage in the practice of architecture or engineering,
• Clarify exemptions and when they apply under the law, and
• Help prevent unlicensed individuals or businesses from engaging in the unlicensed practice of architecture or engineering.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from the Board, ask questions, and gain insights to help keep your projects compliant with the E&A Act.
Register today to reserve your spot!

Past Webinars
March 26, 2025 - The Nebraska Engineers and Architects Regulation Act
The Nebraska Engineers and Architects Regulation Act contains the Nebraska Engineers and Architects Regulation Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects. Together, these statutes and rules govern the practice of engineering and architecture in the state of Nebraska in order to safeguard life, health, property, and promote the public welfare. This webinar reviews the Board, occupancy classifications and exemptions, licensee seals, and proposed rules changes.
November 20, 2024 - License Renewals, Continuing Education Requirements, and Continuing Education Audits
With renewal season upon us, this presentation dives into the renewal process, as well as the continuing education requirements to be satisifed prior to renewing. Additionally, the presentation reviews the continuing education audit process and how licensees who have been selected for an audit are to submit the required documentation to illustrate they have satisfied the required continuing education hours.
September 25, 2024 - Professional Practice and Ethics
The Board's mission is to establish requirements for education, experience, examination, and enforcement for the practices of engineering and architecture to safeguard life, health, and property, and to promote public welfare. Compliance with the Act encompasses both individuals and organizations, including licensees and non-licensees. For instance, the Act requires the involvement of a design professional on projects that are not exempt from the Act, as well as ensuring that licensees operate within the scope of their competencies and training. This webinar will examine the enforcement and the complaint process, in addition to outlining the penalties associated with violations of the Act, along with illustrative examples of previous infractions.
Note that to gain CE credit, you must have attended one of the two live sessions. Credit will not be given for watching the recorded presentation.
