Controls and Calibrations Engineering Training Seminars

10/19/2009 12:46 PM

I am interested in taking some real world automotive engineering controls and calibrations courses online or take a 3-4 day seminar. I have been placed in a position that I am grateful to be in, but I am finding that it's a lot of, "learn as you go." I like that approach but prefer to learn at a faster rate. My boss will send me away for classes but I am having a difficult time getting curriculums/3 day seminars that he will approve. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Where are you located. I assume Detroit. I'm surprised that there is not something already out there. But, if you are looking for anything online, try podcasts on iTunes. I noticed some Engine and Transmission podcasts from Opel. Maybe try the online presentation webapps that are out there, like slideshare. Sounds interesting...good luck.

Yes. I am in Detroit. I'll check out those podcasts and search through slideshare. Is that slideshare.net? Still hoping for suggestions. So far my search has found training courses to use equipment like ETAS-INCA or AVL Drive or ATI Vision. I am looking for more fundamental, rule of thumb, experience says it all type training. There are calibration guides at my work, but these cookie cutter recipes do not give the blood sweat and tears experience I am looking for. For instance, how do you feel misfire and poor shifts or if the trans is slipping? What are the indications, etc.? Thanks
