STARKVILLE, Miss.--Mississippi State's Bagley College of Engineering and its Industrial Outreach Service are joining with the U.S. Energy Department to offer a pair of specialized fall workshops at the university.
For persons needing to expand their knowledge of industrial compressed air systems, an advanced-level management seminar will be held Oct. 5 and 6. The registration fee is $175.
Instruction will cover required data and tools necessary to accurately measure and assess the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of compressed air systems.
A second workshop taking place Dec. 15-18 is designed for individuals desiring to become a DOE AIRmaster+ qualified specialist.
