AGMA Foundation Awards Grant for Creation of an Online Gear Course

At the March 2009 meeting of the AGMA Foundation Board of Trustees, the Trustees approved a $50,000 Foundation grant to AGMA for creating an on-line “Detailed Gear Design – Beyond Simple Service Factors,” advanced engineering course.  The three-day advanced engineering seminar, presented by D.S.T., Inc and Ray Drago, will feature 16 one-hour video lectures along with a study guide and online certification test modules. The goal of this grant project is to increase the reach of advanced engineering programs to those who are unable to travel to seminar locations, including international participants.

“AGMA Foundation provided seed funding to get the very first Detailed Gear Design seminar going, and it has flown!” says Arlin R. Perry, AGMA Foundation’s chairman about the popular seminar. “We are pleased to provide additional support that will make it possible for more engineers to benefit from this educational opportunity.”
