Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
"The principals taught in this hands-on workshop will help Harley-Davidson engineers to develop reusable performance models used in our engineering practice", says Tom Spehert an engineer in product development at Harley-Davidson who is a course alumnus.
"The spreadsheet and VBA are powerful tools that are vastly underutilised in the engineering profession".
"There is a tendency to view the spreadsheet in terms of its limited capability in early versions, but it is important that engineers become more aware of the power and capability of current versions", says Dr Tom Mincer, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at California State University and President of SpreadsheetWorld.
The course taught by Dr Mincer and David McDaniel is designed to achieve that objective by reinforcing the concepts with real time work on the computer.
Students develop an increased overall understanding of their systems and processes, increased integration of engineering disciplines and better intuition of performance dependence on design parameters.
Dr Mincer has developed this outstanding workshop over the last 12 years.
Spreadsheet aided engineering has been offered over 200 times to more than 2500 engineers at companies such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop-Grumman, NASA, Dow Chemical, General Motors, Goodyear Tire and Rubber and Pratt and Whitney.
It is available in on-site, public and self-study versions.
