Short Courses

The Turbomachinery Laboratory makes a vital impact on the turbomachinery, pump and related industries through three pathways: research, education, and workforce development. As part of its workforce development arm, the Turbo Lab offers extended short courses throughout the year led by industry experts and academics. Courses range from three-to-five days and offer working professionals valuable education opportunities in an interactive environment. Continuing Education Units (CEU) are awarded upon course completion.

NOTICE: Due to social-distancing restrictions and our desire to maintain a safe environment for attendees, all in-person courses will have seating limits noted in the course descriptions below.
