Professional Development Offerings

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.

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?

In today’s competitive business environment, the difference between success and failure is often based on how well our machines and facilities perform. Learn detailed strategic approaches to management and leadership in maintenance and reliability. You will leave this course with the ability to create a strategy, and develop and manage your team. The course will also include an overview of major approaches such as Reliability Centered Maintenance, ISO55000, and PM Optimization for effectively managing assets.  

This intermediate-level course is intended for designers looking to expand their HVAC knowledge by performing engineering calculations and system layouts, and others responsible for selecting and specifying HVAC equipment. Topics include duct and pipe sizing, fans laws and pump curves, heating and cooling loads, CFD modeling, and BIM tools and processes.

In this course, you will learn about key municipal engineering systems and about the concepts and methods used to design, operate, and maintain the following systems, specifically related to streets, water supply, sanitary sewer and storm drainage systems. You will also get the answers to some essential questions you must ask yourself and your team prior to designing any municipal system.

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. 

This course will cover the following topics: What a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) can and can't do; configuration strategies and their real-world applications; and on-going, must-do activities to realize improved-asset performance and workplace productivity.

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.
