Professional Development Courses

After completing this course, you will better understand the components that make up medium voltage systems used in non-utility applications. You will learn how systems are laid out and how components are designed and selected. You will also better understand reliability and cost trade-offs in design as well as installation requirements in the National Electrical Code and other applicable codes.

Learn why the Commissioning Process (CxP) provides consistent, cost-effective, and successful delivery of new buildings and constructed projects, and enhances the performance of existing buildings. Gain tools and techniques to incorporate this quality process from pre-design through the life of the facility. Highly valuable for all project team members, this course covers CxP goals, process steps, cost and benefits, case studies, and more.

The SMRP (Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals) created the CMRT Body of Knowledge as a guide for maintenance technicians to be proficient in their careers. The CMRT BoK is broken up into four (4) domains: Maintenance Practices, Preventative and Predictive Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Analysis, and Corrective Maintenance. By understanding the core concepts in each of these domains, and aligning your processes with the BoK, you will guide your team and your company toward world-class performance. Our instructors not only facilitate a deep understanding of the materials but also emphasize its practical application through hands-on practice, applied learning, and group discussions. Do you need to upskill your maintenance technicians and all other reliability team members and prepare them for the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professional’s Certified Maintenance and Reliability Technicians (CMRT) Certification?

Explore current topics in professional ethics for engineers and associated professionals in this popular webinar series.

Work more efficiently and stay on top of the latest innovations by learning about the expanding industry of power electric drives. You'll learn the latest technologies through hands-on examples you can apply immediately on the job.

Water storage tanks are an important, visible component of your water distribution system. Operation and maintenance of water storage tanks can significantly impact fire protection, water quality, service delivery, and maintenance costs. Rehabilitation costs for existing tanks sometimes exceed original construction costs, so it is important to select operation, maintenance, inspection, and repair procedures that will minimize the life cycle costs of your tanks. In this course, you will learn how to properly and cost-effectively operate, maintain, and rehabilitate steel and concrete elevated tanks, ground storage tanks, and standpipes. 

Have a basic understanding of all levels of architecture, from system to component, scaling, and selection for application. Understand basic control theory. Be conversant in the requirements and design of system, subsystem, and component control strategies. Have a working familiarity with the development process for hardware, software, and systems design.

We will introduce you to the fundamentals of utility power system grounding. You will learn the different system configuration methods and the theory behind common methods. Your expert instructors will then walk you through the step-by-step process of substation grounding optimization studies and corresponding design and construction drawings.
