An introduction to fluid statics and the basic laws of fluid flow; conservation of mass, momentum and energy. Applications of the
basic laws to internal and external incompressible flow, including specific topics in pipe flow systems, centrifugal pumps and fans,
streamlining, fluid flow meters, psychometrics of air and water-vapor mixtures, and basic elements of air conditioning. Use of psychometric instruments and psychometric charts to graphically analyze processes.

Introduction to computer numerical control (CNC) training in G and M codes. Hands-on training on CNC machines: testing, debugging, and running programs. Identify the elements of machine drawings; interpret dimensions, tolerances, and geometric aspects of blueprints; and explain Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols and their meanings

Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and how they can be used in a plant, manufacturing system, or part of centralized control of a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. There will be practical applications and exercises using PLCs in the workplace.

Design and sizing for a wide variety of plumbing systems, acoustics in plumbing construction, plumbing system specifications, plumbing construction costs, coordination of plumbing design with other construction work, energy conservation and review of plumbing installations.
