About This Course

This course caters mainly to engineers, technicians, and facilities managers who are not intimately familiar with mechanical engineering principles and practices. Through this course, attendees are expected to learn basic principles of mechanical engineering in a simple, easy-to-understand format.   

The course will enable attendees to accomplish straightforward and common calculations associated with mechanical engineering concepts such as statics, kinetics, kinematics, materials, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, hydraulic machines, thermodynamics, the refrigeration cycle, and financial evaluation and decision-making associated with typical engineering projects.   

Most concepts are presented in basic and easy-to-understand terms. Mechanical engineering concepts are illustrated by practical numerical problems and case studies. Past experience has shown that even professionals without an engineering education can take away a commensurate amount of engineering knowledge from “cross-discipline” skill-building seminars, such as this one.   

This course is the second part of the series "Mechanical Engineering Principles and Practice." The series itself covers all the topics covered in the "Mechanical Engineering for Non-Mechanical Engineers" (8 PDH) course, except all topics are delved into in more depth.
