Webinar
No. M-8008W
In Mechanical Engineering for Non-Mechanical Engineers, you'll learn ...
- Material properties, testing and heat treatment
- Statics, dynamics and mechanics of materials
- Fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
- Calculations and unit conversions routinely performed by mechanical engineers
Overview
This webinar is most relevant for engineers, technicians, and facilities managers who are not intimately familiar with mechanical engineering principles and practices. The webinar is designed to help participants learn these basic principles and concepts in a simple, easy to understand format. It’s also well-suited to mechanical engineers who have concentrated their professional practice in one area and need to brush up on other areas.
With the aid of several case studies and sample problems, students in this interactive webinar will perform straightforward and common calculations associated with mechanical engineering. You will also learn about key concepts, such as statics, kinetics, kinematics, materials and the mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, hydraulic machines, thermodynamics, and refrigeration cycle. And you will engage in some financial evaluation and decision making associated with typical engineering projects.

- Thermodynamics concepts and applications (e.g., psychrometry, refrigeration cycle)
- Engineering economics and financial analysis of engineering projects
Site License for Groups
Webinars are priced per person as shown above. But, if you have a group of six or more attending from one location, you can take advantage of our webinar site license. With a site license, up to 15 can attend from the same location for a flat rate of $350 per hour. For groups larger than 15 people, call 1-877-PDHengineer to speak with a Customer Service Team member.
A site license makes it easy for a company, an association, or a group of colleagues to access high-quality training at a low cost per person. You are responsible for providing a meeting room, speakerphone and internet connection. A signed attendance sheet is required from each group. More on site licenses...
How Webinars Work
It's easy ... and it doesn't take a computer guru to figure it out. At the time of the webinar, you connect to the internet and call in to a toll-free number. You see the presentation on your computer screen. You hear and talk through the telephone. It's just like being there without all the hassle. There's no travel expense and no wasted time in the car.
System Requirements
To attend this webinar, you'll need a computer with a high-speed internet connection (DSL or cable) and a phone line. For your comfort, it is recommended that you use a speakerphone or headset to connect to the webinar. Our system will support both PC's and Apple computers using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Safari browsers. If you select a site license, you must provide projection of the internet onto a viewing screen or have a monitor large enough for the group to see.
Registration Deadline
Online registration is available until the scheduled start of the webinar (subject to seat availability). However, we suggest that you register early as webinars fill up quickly. For questions, call our Customer Service Team toll-free at 1-877-PDHengineer.

Printing Your Certificate
After completion of the webinar, return to the PDHengineer.com main website and click the My Account tab in the top right corner of the screen. Select Webinars Attended Pending Survey Completion to take a short three to four question survey. The survey is intended to measure how well the webinar met the stated learning objectives. You will then be able to immediately print your Certificate of Completion. You can always print additional copies of your certificate by selecting My Account and then Webinars Attended.
Cancellation Policy
You may cancel your enrollment in this webinar up to 48 hours prior to the event and receive a full refund less a $10 registration service fee. Cancellations made less than 48 hours prior to the webinar, but at least 4 hours prior to the scheduled starting time will not be refunded, but can be credited to a future webinar. Cancellations made less than 4 hours before the webinar are not refundable.
