SUMMARY:Technical Writing
DESCRIPTION:Click here to REGISTER \n  \nCourse Outline: \nTechnical Writing is a very important skill in any kind of work. It is important in Engineering\, Sciences\, and even in understanding simple tools. Most people confuse business writing with technical writing. In this module\, we will understand Technical Writing and learn how it is different compared to other genres of writing. We will also learn about the effective ways that we can create a technical write-up in order to ensure wider audience coverage and clarity.

SUMMARY:Problem Solving and Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:Click here to REGISTER \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: \nSolving problems and making decisions in a creative manner can be the key to more productive and effective employees and managers in any organization. Problem-solving and decision-making are not easy for most people. It is like a journey into the unknown requiring creativity\, intuition and imagination\, careful analysis\, diagnosis\, and step-by-step action planning. Creative Problem Solving and Decision Making is designed to enable participants to learn and apply concepts and techniques related to an integrated versatile approach to problem-solving resulting in better and more effective decisions. \nLearn the tools and processes to find the right solutions to most/ any problem or situation.\nFinding the Solution is a highly interactive and memorable training workshop. The participants will learn specific tools for solving problems by doing…by solving problems. They will learn how to find solutions using 4 steps: \n\nFocusing – Define\, prioritize\, focus and analyze problems.\nIdea Generating – Generating creative & useful ideas\,\napproaches and solutions\nDecision Making – Making the best possible decision\nImplementing – Ensure that solutions are implemented\n\nThey will learn the techniques that go with each step such as “gap analysis\,” “random stimulation\,” and “decision-making analysis”. They will develop awareness and understanding of the need to use a problem-solving process. \nThe focus of this training may be on group or individual problem solving and decision making or a mixture of both. \nOBJECTIVES: \nParticipants will be able to… \n\nFocus on the “true” problem\nEstablish accurate goals for problem-solving\nPrioritize problems and decide which problems should get attention\nGenerate ideas quickly\nBreak through barriers and mental blocks\nFind viable solutions\nSort through lots of ideas\nEvaluate alternative courses of action\nMake good decisions so all team members are satisfied\nConsider both the risks and benefits in a choice\nAnalyze what needs to be accomplished\nEnsure acceptance of the solutions\nDevelop and use action plans as a group or individually.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: \nAnyone involved in deciding business strategies and activities\, managing projects\, or otherwise responsible for delivering results within an organization\, (e.g. CEO\, CFO\, manager\, supervisors\, etc). There are no prerequisites for this course \nMETHODOLOGY: \n\nAs the trainer comes with more than thirty years of real-life corporate experience\, the methodology will involve the following:\nIndividual Assessments\nUse of participant manual/worksheets\nUse of a combination of presentation and group activities\nStorytelling of real-life situations\nInteractive group discussions\nChallenging the thinking of participants\nProviding input to participants’ real-life situations\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE: \n\nWhy a Problem Solving Process?\nWhat is a Problem?\nThe Creative Problem-Solving Process\nMaking Decisions\nThe Tools of Creative Problem Solving\nApplying the Creative Problem Solving Process\n\nThe workshop is filled with tools that are recipes for solving most / any problem. We treat this book like any recipe book when creating a meal. In using a recipe book you pick and choose whatever recipes would suit your needs. Much in the same way\, you could pick and choose the “recipes” in this book that are appropriate for the problem. The participants will learn which “recipes” to select under different circumstances.\nThese recipes are for “rational” problems (a problem as a result of a change) as well as for creative problems (a new situation or opportunity). \n\nIt is divided up into five sections:\nThe Stages and Tasks of Problem Solving\nTargeting\nIdea Generating\nDecision Making\nImplementing\n\n \nRegistration Instructions:  \n1.

SUMMARY:Thermal Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Click here to REGISTER \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: Infrared Thermography is one of the most valuable tools available for inspecting electrical systems. Too often\, however\, the use of the technology falls short of its potential full value. Why? A primary reason is our failure to understand the basic heat transfer science involved and\, thus\, misinterpret the thermal signature of a component possibly headed toward heat-related failure.\nThis course will present case studies that present real problems that the thermographer will experience in the field. This course objective is to give a proper training to engineers engaged in this field\, giving them a good understanding of radiation laws and parameters to take into consideration when carrying thermographic inspections and measurements.
