Ask and ye shall receive - ASPE's Technical Symposium.
The one request I receive from readers that is extremely difficult to answer is where they can take a short course on plumbing engineering design. These short courses just don't seem to exist. I know what is really being requested: “I know the profession, I just want to know more about certain design aspects.” The problem is that everyone who asks me this question has a different design aspect that they are interested in. Some want more on venting, others on the ins and outs of drainage, still others on specialty areas such as grease interceptors, fountains or backflow.
Well, I can finally answer the question of where you can take a short course. The last weekend in October (Oct. 28-30), ASPE will hold its Technical Symposium in Chicago at the Crown Plaza O'Hare. You will have the opportunity to take a variety of courses over two and a half days.
