SURVEY OF POSSIBLE INTEREST

COURSE IN WHAT EVERY ELECTRICAL ENGINEER SHOULD KNOW

OBJECTIVES
• To provide electrical engineers an opportunity to gain a broacd of some of the most technical
aspects of their work
• To provide future technical support as part of our free “after-sales” support

TARGET AUDIENCE
• Young engineers who are embarking on their career
• More experienced engineers who wish to enhance their understanding some of the principles of
electrical engineering

TOPICS
• Based on feedback, we will run four courses as per the table below
• The last column is for the number of participants who responded to an earlier survey

TENTATIVE DATES
• Starting late February 2020
• Course will be conducted once a month on Saturdays in PJ
• The course will only proceed if there is a minimum of eight participants

PROPOSED FEES
• RM 170 per person per with 10% discount for three or more days
• 50% special rate for anyone who is self-sponsored

TECHNICAL SUPPORT DURING AND AFTER THE COURSE

• Participants are free to make full use of the opportunity to clarify any doubts they may have
• The course comes with an ‘after-sale’ support service
