619-Piping Design Fundamentals - Avoid Pitfalls in Design and Analysis
3 $67.50
Course Objectives: This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.
Course Description:
Industrial piping systems must often operate for decades with little or no maintenance and inspection. Since the design team rarely evaluates their installation years after commissioning, poor design practices seem to live on and on because the design team never knows the problems that develop. This course fills that feedback loop with recommendations that avoid problems and are likely to work well for decades.
Part of the design process relies on the pipe stress analysis to calculate pipe stress, support loads and pipe movements. The performance of the installed pipe is often quite different than the analysis calculates. These differences are often avoidable if you know what you are looking for and use proper procedures.
This course is a practical guide to avoid pipe support selection errors, and to quickly recognize if there any errors, or “hidden errors” in the pipe stress analysis results. Recommendations were learned by the author through field observations and analysis. The knowledge from this work will help anyone involved with designing and maintaining piping systems recognize and avoid potential pipe failures.

603-Microcontrollers: the Arithmetic Logic Unit
4
List: $90.00
Sale: $46.95
Course Objectives:
Course Description:
The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is the central core of a central processing unit (CPU). The ALU is simply a digital circuit that performs arithmetic and logical operations on binary numbers. They are combinational logic circuits which means that their outputs change asynchronously in response to changes to their inputs. ALU circuits perform operations on integer binary numbers. All microcontrollers contain an arithmetic logic unit (ALU). It is a fundamental building block of the CPU.
An ALU has two integer inputs called operands and another input called an opcode. The opcode instructs the ALU which instruction to perform (like addition, subtraction, decrement, increment, AND, OR, NOT, XOR, etc.). The opcode code is a binary code that comes from the instruction set (or program) that is being executed. The instructions or program will contain both the operands or numbers to be used and the opcode that tells the ALU what to do with the numbers, eg. add the numbers. These instructions are usually written in a higher level programming language and are stored in the computer's main memory. A compiler will compile the higher level language program and convert it to machine code. The computer executes one instruction at a time.
This course focuses on the ALU. This course explains how arithmetic and logical operations are performed within a CPU. This course explains how the instruction from the machine code from a compiled computer program gets translated into useful code for the ALU to determine which operation to perform and where the data is coming from.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course the student will learn:
• how an ALU selects its different functions
• how ALUs were designed in early computers
• how an ALU uses its operands
• how an ALU uses its opcode
• how an ALU performs subtraction
• how a full adder works with carry in and carry out
• the difference between a half adder and a full adder
• the logic diagram of a full adder
• how to describe an ALUs operations with a truth table
• how an instruction set is converted into machine code
• how machine code is decomposed into an opcode that configures the ALU for a particular operation
• how an ALU is integrated into a CPU
• how the fetch-decode-execute cycle works in a CPU
• the significance of the 74181 ALU in early computers
• how many arithmetic and logic operations that a 74181 ALU can perform
• the schematic and truth table of the 74181 ALU
602-What Every Engineer Should Know About Engineering Economic Analysis Part II
5 $112.50
Course Objectives: This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.
Course Description:
This course is sequel to course, “What Every Engineer should Know about Engineering Economic Analysis I”. In that course we examined some of the basic principles and underlying assumptions of Engineering Economic Analysis. However, in this course, our focus is on some of the fundamental issues that make it easy to transition from the basic concepts developed in the earlier course to more robust and complex issues that undergird the framework of Engineering Economic Analysis. These fundamental issues build upon the basic principles and assumptions to form the building blocks that are central to understanding the subject matter of Engineering Economic Analysis.
No unnecessary assumptions were made, and every formula was developed from first principles so that the engineer would feel comfortable that they at least can see and know where the formulas came from. We were careful to provide the formulas for the computation of the interest factors since we did not provide any interest tables.
The questions on quiz were ALL taken from the course material, every single one. So, there are no magic or tricky questions because we developed this as a hands-on practical course for the Professional Engineer.
We hope that the Professional Engineer would be excited to have a ready reference for this important topic of Engineering Economic Analysis.

Course Introduction
Mechanics is the branch of science concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the effects of the bodies on their environment. Mechanics is a physical science incorporating mathematical concepts directly applicable to many fields of engineering such as mechanical, civil, structural and electrical engineering.
Vector analysis is a mathematical tool used in mechanics to explain and predict physical phenomena. The word “vector” comes from the Latin word vectus (or vehere – meaning to carry). A vector is a depiction or symbol showing movement or a force carried from point A to point B.
Statics (or vector mechanics) is the branch of mechanics that is concerned with the analysis of loads (or forces and moments) on physical systems in static equilibrium. Systems that are in static equilibrium are either at rest or the system's center of mass moves at a constant velocity. Problems involving statics use trigonometry to find a solution.
Newton's First Law states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest or an object in motion tends to stay in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. In the area of statics Newton's First Law dictates that the sum of all forces, or net force, and net moment on every part of the system are both zero.
The term "static" means still or unchanging. In relation to vector mechanics the terms "still" or "unchanging" pertain to the system under evaluation. The system may be at rest or may be moving at a constant velocity, but all of the components of the system are still or in equilibrium with each other. However, there are forces within the system usually acted upon by gravity, but all of the forces are balanced.
Course SummaryStatics is the study of forces and moments on physical systems in static equilibrium. Unlike dynamics, where the components of the system are in motion, components of a system in static equilibrium do not move or vary in position relative to one another over time. Statics is concerned with physical systems in equilibrium and the conditions that require equilibrium given the forces and moments that are acting on the components of the systems. These physical systems can include but are not limited to trusses, beams, pulleys and systems that use support cables.
