Industrial Process Heating
Distance Learning Course

This distance learning program is the result of collaboration between the Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA) and the Electrotechnology Applications Center (ETAC) located on the campus of Northampton Community College. The goal was to translate the IHEA home study course to an distance learning online format, making it readily available to members and non-members alike in an increasingly popular educational delivery method. The resulting courses provide interactive, web-based access to students from any location at any time using the BlackBoard distance learning program. This series offers an indispensable tool to the industrial process heating community.

Written by IHEA members with online materials developed by Pete Roberts and Bill Clark of ETAC, The Industrial Process Heating courses will be offered several times each year.
