My position at CEI of Corporate Trainer for Engineering has allowed me the privilege of teaching a fair number of engineering classes. These are typically “brown bag” presentations, held at our offices over a lunch hour, and broadcast to our branch offices through our teleconferencing system. At one time they video recorded them through that system, but now that module doesn’t work.

Following is a list of the classes that I’ve taught. Soon I will add the ones I’m schedule to teach or am preparing to teach. Unless otherwise indicated, these are 1 hour classes.
