Fundamentals of Mechanical Systems - 2021
Description
Objective:
The driving force behind most industrial applications is Mechanical Systems. Gears, drives, bearings, pulleys, and more are found in nearly everything that moves. The Mechanical Systems course covers the installation, use, maintenance, and troubleshooting of mechanical drive components and systems. The industry recognized certification is divided into various topics which deal with the components encountered in industry. The learning is based on practical, hands-on tasks to build know-how in operating and maintaining these vital systems.
