Lead Instructor: Bobby Rauf, PE, CEM, CMT, MBA

This seminar or course covers principles of DC (Direct Current) electricity in a simple, easy to understand, format. It is themed after a book published by the instructor, titled: “Electrical Engineering for non-Electrical Engineers.” In the book, as well as this seminar, Rauf uses simple analogies and practical, day to day, examples to illustrate the, otherwise, abstract concepts of electrical engineering. Upon attending this course, participants will be able to perform straightforward and common calculations, in the DC realm, associated with voltage, current, resistance, circuit analysis, power, service factor, and much more. Practical examples of electrical equipment applications, in industrial, and institutional settings are covered. Discussions on electrical equipment, components, safety electronic devices, and test instrumentation are included. Important concepts in electrical safety are introduced. This course is designed for engineers, professional engineers, energy professionals, engineering managers, technical professionals, facilities managers and other professionals who are not intimately familiar or current on electrical engineering principles and practices.
