| Facility Dynamics personnel participate in the controls related programs taught by the University of Wisconsin, Iowa State University (Iowa Energy Center) and North Carolina State University. We also conduct on-site programs for some of our larger clients. These control programs include courses on pneumatics and direct digital controls. The courses are "hands-on" and are taught from a generic perspective wherever possible. We have recently just completed the development of a new five-day DDC course for engineers and operators. Onsite programs have been conducted for BASF Corporation,
a Government Agency, Pentagon, Ohio University, Abbott Labs, Washington & Lee University, State of West Virginia, State of Virginia (DMHMRSAS) and Pacific Gas & Electric's Energy Center. |
