As far as I know, engineering as a profession does not impose any continuing education requirements on its members. Thus, it is up to the individual as to whether he stays on top of his profession and of course not everyone does. This contrasts to healthcare professions where members have to complete some number of CE hours in order to renew their licenses. Maybe engineering specialties should demand that practitioners keep up in this fashion.
