By attending this seminar, participants will be able to:
This course is designed for engineers and managers who deal with linear or rotary motion either to convert electrical power to mechanical power or vice versa but have little or no background in how an electric motor works either independently or in a system. Gaining this familiarity and fundamental understanding could help avoid making wrong decisions that can adversely impact the company financials as well as reputation.
An engineering degree is desired; other individuals who are knowledgeable of college level physics would also find the information valuable.
You must complete all course contact hours and successfully pass the learning assessment to obtain CEUs.
