This practical
workshop focuses on the writing skills needed by
technical professionals to create documents
which are easy to read, communicate information
clearly, accurately, and concisely. It teaches a
strategic approach to writing through analysis
of the writing situation to determine how
information is to be selected and organized to
suit a particular audience, purpose, and
situation. |

This course is
specifically designed for people who have to
present technical information to both technical
and non-technical audiences. Participants will
learn how to make information come alive, and to
deliver dynamic, persuasive presentations with
ease.
At the end of the
Effective Technical Presentation Skills course,
participants should be able to quickly organize
and present technical facts, ideas and
recommendations to other technical
professionals, non-technical managers and
decision-makers in a clear, convincing, and
understandable way. |

A basic knowledge of
business and corporate finance is essential for
any non-financial management and professionals
to function effectively in his/her current
capacity. The ability to understand financial
jargons is not only useful as a life skill, but
a much needed requirement for non-financial
professionals occupying or about to assume a
greater leadership role in the organization.
In this program, participants will learn how to
determine the financial health of a business.
Participants will appreciate the need for
allocation of scarce financial resources and
tighter financial management so as to obtain the
best financial value-add for the company.
Participants will learn not only the thoughts
that go into building up a financial case for a
new capital project, but also learn how to use
the various common financial tools to justify
for a new capital project. Finally, participants
will be introduced to the types of costs and
their behaviour, and how these could be used to
determine the breakeven of a business, and
forecast profitability under various simulated
sales volumes.

Understanding Common Converter and Drive
Harmonics, Cost Analysis and Mitigation
Techniques |
|
Course Fee:
S$834.60
Subsidised Fee: S$417.30
|
Non linear loads such as photocopiers, personal
computers, laser printers, electronic lighting
ballasts, uninterruptible power supplies, and
variable frequency AC motor drives are
increasingly causing harmonics. This course
outlines the effects of power system and
low/high frequency converter generated harmonics
and voltage transients on common electrical
equipment. It provides guidance for
Converter/drive system design for mitigation of
the hazardous effects due to the transients and
harmonics. Actual occurrences in industrial
environments with some practical solutions are
discussed. A hand on tutorial module provides a
good insight into the power system and drives
harmonics troubleshooting. Some common power
system simulation software will be shown to
carry out some case studies. It will provide the
participants a hands-on understanding of the
problem. Finally, some state of the art unity
power factor AC & DC drives are suggested to
totally avoid the harmonic problems.

5.
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
|
|
Course Fee:
S$834.60
Subsidised Fee: S$417.30
|
The elimination,
control, or reduction of risk is a total
commitment by the entire organization, and it is
more often than not the responsibility of the
engineering department. Today, the focus is on
prevention, and the emphasis is to minimize the
probability of failure or to minimize the effect
of failure. In order to achieve this focus, FMEA
is commonly used. It is an analytical technique
used by engineers to ensure that potential
problems have been considered and addressed. It
is a summary of the engineer’s thoughts as he or
she designs a component or a system, or develops
a process. It can also be applied to
non-production areas. It can also help to
improve the quality and reliability of products
and processes. Thus, maintain a competitive edge
of a company.
In this course, the various type of FMEAs, their
steps in performing the FMEAs, the common
problems encountered, and the recent advancement
in FMEA are discussed. Case studies are given to
illustrate the successfulness of FMEA in
industries.

6. Failure Analysis and Prevention -
Methodologies and Case Studies |
Course Fee:
S$1048.60
Subsidised Fee: S$524.30
|
In manufacturing a
component or constructing a structure, design
engineers typically consider pertinent factors
such as functional requirements, reliability,
safety, cost and adverse environmental
conditions that might potentially affect their
design. Quite unfortunately, however, we
regularly come across failure of various
engineering designs due to limitations in
material performance having been altogether
overlooked or critical loading conditions having
been conveniently ignored in the analysis. In a
nutshell, this course on Engineering Materials
Failure Analysis aims to prevent engineering
failures (and disasters) by reviewing real life
failures. In addition, relevant aspects of the
mechanical behaviour of materials to the design
process are explored and explained.

7. Facilitation Skills for Project Team Leaders |
|
Course Fee:
S$834.60
Subsidised Fee: S$417.30
|
Facilitation is
about getting people to sense their involvement
are valued, thus creating support and ownership
of groups in generating meeting/project outcome.
This workshop aims to equip facilitators with
the knowledge and skills, working with project
teams to achieve maximum involvement as well as
results.
Through the use of experiential, skill building
exercises, participants will have the
opportunity to practice facilitation skills,
both in team meeting and problem-solving
sessions. In so doing, they will find the keys
to deal successfully with team dynamics, guiding
team towards high performance.

programming course provides the participants
with an understanding of advanced C programming
concepts like pointer operations, bitwise
operations, structures and unions, file I/O,
interrupt processing, memory allocation, linked
list, binary tree, sorting etc. The course is

The short course
“Object-Oriented Programming in C++” is designed
as an intensive training course for IT
professionals who wish to learn Object-Oriented
programming in C++ and Windows programming in
Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC). The course
will equip the trainees with both
Object-Oriented programming theory and
professional coding skills in C++. It will be
