Teaching and Feedback I've just finished delivering a Think EMC 1 day Electrical Safety course for my friends at Eurofins York. Some very good and sometimes challenging questions from the attendees which is always appreciated. At the end of any course I like to turn the conversation around and ask the attendees for specific examples of what they learned or found the most interesting. Sometimes what you hear may be a surprise. A section of the course that you thought wasn't well received turns out to be valuable to more than one person. I think getting quick feedback whilst the thoughts are fresh in the heads of the class is very valuable. When I run a Think EMC course I always try and get anonymous feedback that helps me improve the course by asking "what do you wish that we had spent more time on or covered in more detail" What do my fellow teachers and trainers do to get feedback? What specific questions to ask to get through attendees being polite and telling you what they really think? Thanks in advance for your thoughts :) Min Zhang Werner Grommes Charlie Blackham Martina Kreutz Kenneth Wyatt Keith Armstrong Matt Androsiuk CMSE® Andy Eadie Andy Degraeve Karen Burnham

Daikin Training with Engineering and Technicians in Labuan Bajo Discussed the handling of AC unit problems, checking components on the PCB, checking error codes, monitoring the condition of the AC unit, and how to maintain the AC unit.

We want to share some highlights from the ECN Registration webinar we held in Novemeber! 1. Overview of the ECN Registration Process 💡 Thinking about ECN Registration? Here's what you need to know! During our recent YCEN-hosted webinar, we covered the essential steps in the ECN registration process: 1️⃣ Initial Application: Submit personal details, educational qualifications, and relevant work experience. 2️⃣ Qualification Verification: Ensure credentials are accurate and meet ECN’s standards. 3️⃣ In-Training Registration: Apply as an Engineering Technician (Level 6), Incorporated Engineer (Level 7), or Professional Engineer in Training (Level 8). 💼 A checklist for full/professional registration includes: 3 years of supervised work experience An experience report (summarized and detailed sections) Two referees in the same discipline Stay tuned for more insights from the session! Comment below with more questions about the registration process, this will help us bring you value. Want to be a YCEN member?

Last week I finished instructing several local technicians that devoted 24 hours of their time across 3 weeks with me at HVCC. It was a series of courses sponsored by SUNY and HVCC workforce development. We discussed: EV safety and PPE for EV technicians Electrical fundamentals for automotive technicians Basic lab scope functions and tests. Hands down my favorite one to teach is the electrical fundamentals class. It blows me away how many professional automotive technicians have NEVER been properly trained with electrical fundamentals such as: ohms law, circuit laws, voltage drop, circuit design and so on. I like this course so much because even the most seasoned tech realizes that they did not truly understand electricity. Once they are taught the laws and theories, it gives them a whole new prospective. These courses included a hands on portion. During this we performed some HV disconnects and zero volt tests. We located several electrical faults and even learned how to properly perform voltage drops. Then for the last 2 nights we worked with oscilloscopes. Some students brought their own tools but we focused mostly on the automotive Picoscope. They can all confidently hook up scope to a circuit and begin to at least read some electrical signals. After the holidays I’m going to try to run at least 2 more subjects including a deep dive into wiring diagrams and vehicle communication systems. Keep your eyes open for updates if you’d like to join us!!! #hvcc #pico #automotive #workforcedevelopment #training #automotiveelectrical

'Ex' Electrical Equipment Design and Certification Training, 3rd-4th April 2024, Wexham. I am presenting this 2 day Ex Certification Training course which is ideal for Electrical Engineers or Managers who need to certify EX Equipment to ATEX, UKCA, IECEX or NRTL. The purpose of this course is to gain more cost effective and expedient 'Ex' certification by getting it 'right first time'. The course content includes: Explosion Properties and Terminology required for Ex Certification Ex Certification and Certification Schemes (ATEX, IECEx, NEC500 & 505) Quality Requirements for Ex Certification (QAR, QAN, FUS) for post certification manufacture The role of the ‘Responsible Person’ under QAN/QARs Review of Ignition Assessment used with Ex Certification Using Standards (including Ex s) for Compliance Making an application for Certification (scope) Understanding mandatory constructional requirements and test requirements Introduction to general requirements for all Ex equipment (60079-0) Determining what Protection Concept(s) to use Preparing ‘worst case’ test samples for certification Preparing ‘the technical dossier’ for certification (including instructions and other necessary documents) Preparing Drawings (by concept) included schedule and related drawings The certificate, letter of intent, variations and concessions. https://lnkd.in/gvMpfqP

In industry, we often assume that the most effective engineering knowledge comes from renowned professors or senior design engineers. However, some of the most valuable technical skills and insights can come from those working directly on the front lines. A few years ago, I had a profound learning experience that reinforced this belief. I was at a CNG filling station, and a regular operator shared with me some critical issues they faced while filling CNG. This operator’s practical knowledge about the importance of the O-ring in dispensers was an eye-opener for me. Despite my professional background, I hadn’t fully appreciated the significance of such a small component. The operator explained how the O-ring’s condition directly affected the efficiency and safety of the filling process. This hands-on experience and the operator’s deep understanding of the equipment highlighted the often-overlooked realities that design engineers might miss. This encounter underscored a crucial lesson: practical knowledge from the field can sometimes surpass theoretical understanding. It’s a reminder that every role, no matter how seemingly small, is integral to the success of a project. Listening to and learning from operators, technicians, and other hands-on professionals can bridge the gap between design and practical application, leading to more effective and efficient solutions. The wisdom and experience of those working on the ground are invaluable resources. Their insights can drive innovation and help avoid potential pitfalls that might not be apparent from a purely theoretical perspective. Let’s continue to value and seek out the expertise of those who are on the front lines, making things happen every day. Their experiences and knowledge are crucial to achieving excellence in our industry. #Learning #FieldExperience #Innovation #ContinuousImprovement #RespectEveryRole

In engineering especially mechanical troubleshooting or maintenance 60 to 65% of the solutions and resources to solve the problems is always around the workstation, as a good engineer you just need to take sometimes thinking before rushing into rectifying. the time spent thinking is vital than the time spent resolving issues, this means you will only spend 35 to 40% of estimated time to fix the problems if you take sometime thinking of it.
