Electrical system courses for non electrical engineers
Electrical system courses for non electrical engineers
(OP)
I am a mechanical engineer and live in Dallas, Texas area. I am looking for electrical system training courses that are offered for non electrical engineers in this area? University of Wisconsin in Madison offers great courses but it's too costly for me to travel and stay there for a few days.

I hope it was okay to post this link on here.
Anyhow, it has the following description:
You’ll benefit as you:
• Gain a sound understanding of the design principles used to design electrical circuits in accordance with the applicable national safety and energy codes and standards
• Focus on relevant sections of the National Electrical Code
• Become more familiar with basic electrical circuits and circuit parameters
• Increase your knowledge of the methods used to design lighting and power distribution systems for voltages 600 volts and below
Topics
• Basic Electrical Concepts
• Utility Generation, Transmission, and Distribution
• Basic Design Philosophy
• Design Procedures
• Electrical Construction Materials
• Services
• Advanced Grounding and Power Quality Concepts
Audience
This course will benefit:
• Architects and non-electrical engineers
• Others responsible for the electrical and lighting systems in manufacturing plants and commercial and institutional buildings
• Plant engineers, electrical contractors, and utility engineers
• Individuals involved in the design or construction of electrical power systems but have not had a formal course in electrical power engineering
Anyway, I hope to find a similar course geographically closer or maybe even an online course, or books, online sourses for articles and such.
