ASHRAE’s Evolution in Education
Recent History 1981 - Professional
Development Seminars
1990 - Self Directed Learning Courses
1999 – ASHRAE Learning Institute
2008 ?
ASHRAE’s Educational Programs
Chapter Meetings & Seminars Technical Programs at Society Meetings
Professional Development Seminars Self Directed Learning Courses Short Courses
Professional Development Seminars
One or two day seminars “Advanced beyond fundamental level.”One or more instructors, usually delivered in
traditional lecture format.Workbook or text provided.Earns Professional Development Hours
(PDH’s) for licensure renewal.Registration fees range from $500 to $800
Self Directed Learning Courses
Equivalent in scope to university upper division courses of two credit hours.
Designed to be taken at home or office.Includes all reference material and “skill
development exercises” that can be submitted to ASHRAE for grading.
Self Directed Learning Cont.
Targeted toward recent engineering graduates or practicing engineers who have entered HVAC&R from another field or other design professionals.
Earns 35 PDH’s, Costs $250 Licensing Available (Chapters or
Universities)
Self Directed Learning Courses
Fundamentals of HVAC SystemsFundamentals of Thermodynamics and
Psychrometrics (will be divided in future)Fundamentals of Heating and Cooling
LoadsFundamentals of Air System Design
Self Directed Learning Courses
Fundamentals of Water System Design (Also available in Spanish and SI versions)
Fundamentals of Heating SystemsFundamentals of Electrical Systems and
Building Electrical Energy UseFundamentals of HVAC Control SystemsFundamentals of Refrigeration
Short Courses
Typically 3 to 4 hours in length. Usually held in conjunction with another
event such as Society Meeting. May or may not be repeated at future
events. Registration fee approximately $95.
Short Courses @ Annual Meeting in Hawaii
Optimizing the Design and Control of Chilled Water Plants
Humidity Control for Commercial Buildings
Green Buildings and Sustainable Construction
Working with Academic Institutions
ASHRAE Student Support OpportunitiesASHRAE Named Scholarship - $50K
EndowmentASHRAE Memorial Scholarship - $5K
EndowmentUnderwrite cost of travel to Society meeting
for faculty and/or students.
Working with Academic Institutions
Department of Mechanical Engineering
446. Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning—Analysis of refrigeration and heating and air conditioning systems.
447. Solar Energy—Applications of solar energy to heating, cooling, and power generation. Solar radiation effects and thermodynamic and heat transfer effects in solar power equipment.
Working with Academic Institutions
At UAB or other Academic Institution Meet with Dean and Department Head
(Frequently). Come bearing gifts! Endowment Opportunities at UAB
• Student Award - $10,000 Endowment• Scholarship - $25,000 Endowment• Lectureship - $75,000 Endowment• Research Program - $100,000 Endowment
UAB Contact – Daphne Powell, Development Coordinator: 934-1807
Working with Academic Institutions
Consider equipping laboratory at university or technical college.
Form Cooperative Research Agreements.Provide faculty and/or student summer internships.Provide senior design or capstone course problem.Secure speaker(s) for student branch meetings. (If
not ASHRAE branch, consider ASME or others.)Cosponsor Seminars.Serve as Adjunct Professor.
What’s ahead for ASHRAE’s Educational Programs – Near Term
New Professional Development Seminars Under Development“Humidity Control”“Advanced Water System Design”“Panel Heating and Cooling”
What’s ahead for ASHRAE’s Educational Programs – Mid Term
Asynchronous DeliveryWeb based Self Directed Learning
using dial-up modems• PDS and/or Short Course (Topics to be
decided)• SDL (Controls)
What’s ahead for ASHRAE’s Educational Programs – Long Term
SDL Sub Units as PDS or Web based ?Web Video (Broadband) ?Consortiums with such organizations
as NTU, other universities (North America, International) ?
