Advanced Training Module: Fundamentals of Mechanical & Electrical Assembly, Maintenance and Repair

The Advanced Training Course builds on the lessons of the Introductory Training Course by integrating Introductory Training Course topics into a course-long project that students fabricate and assemble. Classes and labs focus on mechanical and electrical assembly, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair, sensors, actuators, and advanced testing and troubleshooting.Completion of the Introductory Training Course is a pre-requisite to starting the Advanced Training Course.

Dates: July 13th 2020 - August 25th 2020
Prerequsites: Students must have completed the Introductory Training Course.
Cost: $3,000 per student
Capacity: 24 students
