Advanced Pneumatics

Course #

403

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed for experienced mechanics. The course will teach the math and physics needed to understand the complex issues in trouble-shooting and maintaining industrial pneumatic systems. The students will design basic pneumatic systems and the electrical controls. The students will then test their designs on a computer simulated software system. Each student will get a opportunity to design a Pneumatic system and test it on Pneumatic Training Simulator, then the instructor will insert bugs into the system for the student to troubleshoot.
