I received my 2012 Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) Fluid Power and Motion Control Professional Education Seminars catalog the other day, so just wanted to share with my readers this great resource for hydraulic training. As I’ve written about in the past, I was lucky enough to attend MSOE’s basics course three years ago, and I can’t say enough great things about it. I’m a journalist by training—math and science were not my favorite subjects in school—so I am always learning more about fluid power. The basics course at MSOE helped bring a lot of what I write about to life, so I’m thankful for that.
In addition to on-site, custom courses, MSOE offers several pre-written courses for beginners and more advanced users of fluid power technology. They include:
- Introduction to Hydraulics
- Hydraulic Specialist Certification Review
- Hydraulic Systems Modeling and Simulation for Applications Engineers
- Electrohydraulic Components and Systems
- Service and Operation for Improved Hydraulic System Reliability
- PLC Programming and Servicing for Fluid Power Systems
Most of the courses are three to five days long and include all course materials, as well as work experience on MSOE’s state-of-the-art trainers. Some are offered more than once a year; visit MSOE for a complete schedule.
