Minnesota Mechanical and Ethics 24 PDH Discount Package 2

This online engineering PDH course discusses the six simple machines: the lever, the block, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the screw and the gear. When you familiarize with the principles of these simple machines, you can readily understand the operation of complex machines.

 

A machine is any device that helps you to do work. It may help by changing the amount of force or the speed of action. Machines may also be used to change the direction of a force or in other cases transform energy; for example, a generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. Complex machines are basically combinations of two or more simple machines.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, manufacturers and anyone interested to gain an understanding of basic machine operation.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of industrial compressed air systems. It describes the basic components of an industrial compressed air system and characterizes its applications in different industries.

 

Compressed air is used widely throughout industry and is often considered the "fourth utility" at many facilities. Almost every industrial plant, from a small machine shop to an immense pulp and paper mill, has some type of compressed air system. In many cases, the compressed air system is so vital that the facility cannot operate without it.

 

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, contractors, compressed air manufacturers and others seeking an understanding of the basics of industrial compressed air systems.

This online engineering PDH course introduces the history and development of gas turbine engines (GTEs).

 

This course will help you become familiar with the basic concepts used by GTE designers, follow discussions of how the Brayton cycle describes the thermodynamic processes in a GTE, and learn how various conditions and design limitations affect GTE performance. This course also discusses how a GTE develops and uses hot gases under pressure.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, manufacturers and anyone who wants to gain an understanding of the basics of gas turbine engines. After completing the course, you should have the basic knowledge to be able to describe the principal components of GTEs and their construction, the GTE auxiliary systems, and also be familiar with the nomenclature related to GTEs and GTE technology.

This online engineering course presents the basic principles of hydraulics and pneumatics along with their various components followed by discussing the maintenance procedures associated with these systems.

 

In automotive and construction equipment, the terms “hydraulic” and “pneumatic” describe a method of transmitting power from one place to another through the use of a liquid or a gas which obey certain physical laws and principles discussed in this course.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended for mechanical and industrial engineers, as well as other technical professionals interested in gaining a better understanding of the principles of hydraulic and pneumatics systems.

This online engineering course provides necessary information to understand the principles and theory of refrigeration, the components of mechanical refrigeration systems, and the types of refrigerants and associated equipment. This course also discusses the methods used for installing, maintaining, and repairing refrigeration equipment, including domestic refrigerators and freezers.

 

Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an area or a substance. It is usually done by an artificial means of lowering the temperature, such as by the use of ice or mechanical refrigeration, which is a mechanical system or apparatus, designed and constructed to transfer heat from one substance to another.

 

This 8 PDH online course is intended for HVACR, mechanical and industrial engineers, manufacturers, maintenance staff, and others seeking a basic understanding of refrigeration systems.

In this online engineering PDH course, background on the philosophical models that guide ethical behavior is discussed and then applied to specific situations in engineering codes of ethics. This course is based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Professional Practice Curriculum, Volume 8, Section: Engineering Ethics.

 

Many engineering organizations have drafted codes of ethics to which their members are required to commit.  Generally, these codes are quite similar and are based on a few fundamental principles which provide guidance to professional engineers in common situations. Nevertheless, there are many difficult or ambiguous situations in which the best ethical solution is difficult to determine.

 

This 2 PDH online course is intended primarily for engineers seeking to learn ethical principles and how to apply them to their professional practice.
