(5 Credit Hours) An advanced online 1st, 2nd Class Steam License Review course covering power engineering subjects including boilers, basic thermodynamics, boiler operation, maintenance, plant efficiency, pumps, auxiliaries, power plant accessories, turbines, engines, electrical, compressors, internal combustion engines, and review of national, state and local steam and boiler codes. Includes solving typical power plant problems, and practical exam skills. Prerequisites: The course is designed for students who have the necessary work experience and practical preparation to qualify to write for local license agency courses such as the City of Detroit, City of Dearborn or for nationally identified examination agency exams such as NIULPE (National Institute for the Uniform Licensing of Power Engineers) 1st Class, 2nd Class or Chief Engineer's license examination. Normally 3 10 years of power engineering field experience is required for applicants to qualify for taking these license exams. The examinations are designed to 1) Test the applicants' knowledge in the area in which the license is being sought and, 2) Measure the applicants' ability to solve problems, interpret the steam code to operate a steam power plant safely and prudently. Students study materials which are taken from workplace literature and actual field systems and utilize a workbook to complete multi skilling tasks similar to those completed by skilled technicians in the field. Students are required to complete sketches, workbook exercises, and optional field activities along with quizzes and exams related to the study materials and field systems. Power Engineers and Stationary Engineers seeking a First and/or Second Class Steam License have been working in the field a minimum of 5 6 years after completing their education or apprenticeship. Being an online course, prospective students should be computer literate, able to access the Internet readily, be familiar with e mail systems, have the ability to easily work in a windows and Internet browser environment, be comfortable communicating in writing, be self motivated and able to spend 6 12 hours of their time per week devoted to course study.
