TTU students may earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from Tennesee Tech University for Industrial Process Heating courses offered through the Electrotechnology Application Center at Northampton Community College

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 course will be offered in two parts, the first being a fundamentals course beginning June 2006, followed by an advanced course beginning in September, 2006.

Fundamentals of Industrial Process Heating is designed to provide an overview of combustion fuels, burners and control basics, and heat transfer in both combustion and electric furnaces. Student will gain a basic understanding of heat transfer principles, fuels and combustion equipment, electric heating, and instrumentation and control for efficient operation of furnaces and ovens in process heating.
