PDS425 - Mechanical Engineering for Non-Mechanical Engineers

Course Overview

This course caters, mainly, to Engineers, Technicians and Facilities Managers who are not intimately familiar with Mechanical Engineering Principles and Practices. Through this course, participants are expected to learn basic principles of mechanical engineering in a simple, easy to understand, format. This course will enable participants 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, refrigeration cycle, 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 engineering education can take away a commensurate amount of engineering knowledge from “cross-discipline” skill building courses, such as this one.
