Professional Development Courses

When critical technical projects go off the rails, engineers need more than hope—they need a recovery plan. This course equips you with proven tools and tactics to diagnose, troubleshoot, and rescue troubled projects before they derail your entire roadmap.

Advance your skills in Design of Experiments (DOE) by learning how to apply full and fractional factorial designs using Minitab. This hands-on course empowers engineers to optimize processes and make data-driven decisions through structured experimentation.

Bridge the gap between mechanical and electrical engineering with this foundational course in circuits, embedded systems, and power electronics. Designed for non-electrical engineers, it equips you with the essential knowledge to contribute confidently to multidisciplinary projects and modern electrification efforts.

Unlock the potential of Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) and Manufacturing Critical-path Time (MCT) to significantly reduce lead times and improve operational efficiency. This foundational course provides essential implementation skills through hands-on exercises and expert instruction.

Unlock the potential of 3D printing in your organization with an introduction to additive manufacturing technologies, workflows, and applications. This course demystifies the process and empowers participants to identify opportunities, justify ROI, and begin prototyping with confidence.

Online HVAC design course for facilities and building systems professionals. Learn HVAC systems, load calculations, equipment selection, and code-compliant design.

Learn a structured, team-based approach to continuous improvement. Solve recurring problems in manufacturing and operations using practical tools you can apply immediately.

Learn how to design and lead operational excellence systems that align strategy, execution, and culture to improve manufacturing performance.

This course offers a comprehensive guide for implementing shielding in ways that are most effective to prevent different kinds of electromagnetic interference (EM).  It is designed for students involved in multiple areas of hardware design, including mechanical as well as electrical.  We will cover shielding for both high frequency electric fields as well as lower frequency magnetic fields.  Shielding implementation will be discussed at the board, enclosure, cabling, and integrated platform levels.  There is a lot of confusion a lot this particular topic, so lessons are reinforced with live hardware demonstrations that show these principles paying out on real hardware.  Students will have the opportunity to do shielding calculations and think deeply about the interactions being demonstrated on the bend.  This topic never fails to yield excellent interactive discussions.

Learn about wastewater pumping station design; preventing hydraulic problems in pumps, wet wells, and forcemains; and improving station reliability.
