NEW! College-Level Courses Being Offered to Practicing Engineers at IFPE 2011

Feb. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) is partnering with the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP) to host half-day, in-depth college level technical courses for practicing engineers at IFPE 2011 on March 21-22, 2011 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.  

The new IFPE college-level courses offer hands-on technical knowledge on fluid power and hydraulics with a focus on hydraulic fluids and their applications; design, modeling and control of hybrid vehicles; noise in hydraulic fluid power systems; and basic lubrication. These sessions will benefit practicing engineers and others involved in design and manufacturing processes.  Courses include:

Monday, March 21
8:00 am - 12:00 pm:  Basic Lubrication
1:00 - 5:00 pm:  Hydraulic Fluids and Their Application

Tuesday, March 22
8:00 am - 12:00 pm: Noise in Hydraulic Fluid Power Systems
1:00 - 5:00 pm:  Design, Modeling and Control of Hybrid Vehicles

Admission for each course is $300 in advance, $325 onsite.  If registering for more than one course, admission is $225 in advance and $250 onsite.  Upon completion of these courses, Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available.

NFPA provides a forum for the fluid power industry’s channel partners—manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, customers and educators. Our U.S. and multinational members work cooperatively in advancing hydraulic and pneumatic technology through the association’s many programs and initiatives.

CCEFP is a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, established in June 2006. It is a network of researchers, educators, students and industry working together to transform the fluid power industry—how it is researched, applied and studied. In addition to its grant from NSF, the Center is supported by its seven participating universities and 55 industrial partners.
