Online college courses in gas piping/combustion
(OP)
My boss wants me to look into taking some course work in combustion/gas engineering type classes.
The objective is to learn to design piping and ignition components for igniters in utility power plants for natural gas
Are there any online courses offered that anyone knows about that would be a good fit for these things?
I will continue to search on yahoo and such, but I figured I'd ask here as well in case someone point me in the right direction.
Thank you very much.

ASME Section I Power Boilers - Types, Design, Fabrication, Inspection & Repair
Can't say that I've taken it, but it might be an option for you.

I took a pretty good two or three day course from Eclipse many years ago.

There are textbooks that have been mentioned in threads in years past - one comes to mind: "Boilers, Their Types & Uses" (may not be the exact title).
Another, "Plant Operators Manual" to name a few.
Do a thorough search of this site for some good resources.

I know it would be much more involved than a workshop, but how do you guys think something like this would be for someone like me? My background is in civil engineering from college, but I have worked in a mechanical engineer's postition for 5 years now. 4 years at a large boiler design firm and about 6 months now at an aftermarket ignition manufacturer for power boilers... if I could get my employer to pay for this do you think it would be worth it? or should I just keep reading books and go to workshops? I will be starting a family soon too and am worried about being overloaded... also worried that some of the courses will be too focused on european standards perhaps? I will keep looking in the meantime for an American equivalent. Thanks for any input.
