NEC for Electrical Engineers Workshop

---

---

Early registration and discounted pricing ends on March 15th.

Registration and payment for this workshop must be completed by Wednesday 3/21/2018 to ensure you will have the class materials in time for the workshop.

Saturday 3/31/2018 is the final day for registering.

This two-day workshop will provide instruction on the 2017 NEC and on important topics such as short circuit current ratings, selective coordination, and incident energy.  It is intended for Electrical Engineers and Designers of electrical systems which are governed by the NEC, and is highly recommended as a review supplement for those preparing to take the electrical P. E. exam.  In addition, there will be exhibits by industry manufacturers and suppliers.

Attendees are advised to bring a laptop, an engineering calculator, and a copy of the 2017 NEC, either electronic or paper.   

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will receive a PDH certificate for sixteen hours.

The workshop fee includes breakfast tacos, breakfast beverages, break refreshments, and a thumb drive with the class material.   Door prizes will be offered.
