Many management courses, including our own course: Managing Technical Teams, teach you how to deal with direct and indirect reports. To be successful, however, you also need to manage (or strongly influence) the behavior of those who are at your level or higher. But they may not understand your needs or may be indifferent to them. In this course, you will learn how to make yourself heard when you do not have direct authority, and how to change others’ behavior to make them reliable partners in your programs and projects.

Engineering calculations are an integral part of OSHA's process safety management (PSM) standard and the EPA's risk management plan (RMP) rule. Calculations are needed to establish whether a given process is subject to these two regulations and factor into the regulatory framework in supporting the design, operation, and risk assessment of ammonia refrigeration systems. This course is your opportunity to learn the engineering calculations that are necessary for properly documenting industrial refrigeration systems, to help ensure their regulatory compliance.
