This Course Is Designed To Equip Your Company’s Engineering Personnel And Electricians With Knowledge On The Fundamentals Of “Mechanical Drives And Transfer Of Power”. Basic Concepts Of Mechanical Power Transmission By Addressing The Principles Of Power Transmission, Calculations Of Speed And Force And How They Affect A Power Transmission Systems Ability To Perform Work Will Be Introduced. This Program Emphasizes The Basics Of Mechanical Drawing, Safe Work Practices For Working Around Machinery, Common Hand Tools Associated With Maintenance Work And Some Of The More Common Terms And Definitions.
In Addition, Trainees Will Utilize Overlapping Instructional Models To Master The Theory, Practice, Application, And Troubleshooting Of The Three Primary Systems. Utilizing A Coordinated Classroom And Hands-On Instructional Model, The Trainees Will Apply The Theory As Required While Assembling “Belt”, “Chain”, And “Gear” Transmission Systems. Safety Procedures Are To Be Taught And Reinforced Throughout The Program.
The Trainees Will Gain Exposure To Theory And Concepts, Simulate The Applications, Participate
In Interactive Assessments Outside Of The Traditional Classroom. The In-Class Activities Will Be Focused On ‘Hands-On’ Activities That Build Upon The Theory And Concepts Studied. Trainees Knowledge And Skills Will Be Measured By Outcome-Based Rubrics During The In-Class Period.
