"The NFMT conference is the optimum venue for spotlighting our Building Engineer curriculum," said MetaMedia Publishing President Donna Lynn. "For chief engineers and engineering supervisors looking to train their staff, this is the event to attend to watch interactive, live demonstrations of these courses and ask questions about curriculum content and delivery."
The Building Engineer curriculum was originally created in partnership with a worldwide industry leader and has been expanded to address many types of commercial facilities. Available online at www.metamediapublishing.com/productpage_BE.html, the course provides facilities engineering staff with a thorough understanding of the systems they maintain and the components making up those systems. Learning units include engineering systems and comfort, air distribution systems, boilers, cooling systems, building automation and controls, life safety systems, and indoor air quality.
Building Engineer weaves together interactive diagrams, quizzes, creative animation, and more to create a compelling learning experience that has received rave reviews from engineers across the country. It can be used as a stand-alone educational resource or complement traditional classroom training. The eight-hour online course is offered on MetaMedia’s learning management system (LMS) and can be tailored to any SCORM-based enterprise LMS.
The training value of Building Engineer will benefit the facilities management function of organizations including federal, state, and municipal government agencies; hospitals and assisted living facilities; schools and universities; and commercial buildings. The skilled trades and industry trade associations can also take advantage of this proven learning tool. Organizations and institutions will find the curriculum to be of great value as operational efficiency and conservation become increasingly reliant on cost savings and optimum staff training.
Developed for commercial and professional end-users, MetaMedia Publishing’s multimedia products are delivered on platforms including eLearning, mLearning, DVD, video, broadband, and eBook. MMP’s client base includes global corporations in a wide range of industries, international associations, non-profits, federal government agencies, and other public-sector organizations.
