I do not support mandatory continuing education program as many of the other PEs commented above.

However we need to think of an alternate solution to this problem of PEs thinking they are worthy of a PE license  until they retire.  

How about a required short refresher on-line test (in your field of specialty) every 5 years to demonstrate your compentency as an engineer?  This will force has-been engineers promoted to administrators of paper shuffling to keep their engineering skills sharpened. 

We engineers always come up with fantastic ideas and solutions to problems thought to be impossible to solve so let's brainstorm!!
