8:00am-5:00pm (lunch included) BASE STATION WORKSHOPS Grounding Essentials for Telecommunications Grounding Essentials for Telecommunications is a comprehensive course designed to assist students in the protection of communications sites and includes grounding systems for AC and DC power systems. It has been determined that more than 70% of all electrical problems are caused by grounding and wiring errors at a telecommunications site. This course provides students with an opportunity to identify problems before they affect system operations, reliability and productivity. Course Topics Include: • Grounding and Bonding Overviews • The Grounding Electrode System • External and Internal Grounding Systems for Communication Sites • Lightning Protection • NEC and Telecommunication Industry Requirements • Grounding for Equipment and Enclosures • ESD and EMI/RFI Considerations • Single Point Grounding Concept Instructor: TBD, Lockard & White Learning Center 8:00am-5:00pm (lunch included) Introduction to Project Management Using a telecommunications project case study as its focus, this course introduces the student to practices and processes endorsed by the Project Management Institute in planning and controlling a project. Starting from a project description, the students will participate as team members to develop a Work Breakdown Structure, a Responsibility Assignment Matrix, and a Precedence Method Diagram for the project. Using these tools, the length of project will be determined as well as the critical path. Each team will be given the opportunity to enter their planning data into Microsoft Project and evaluate resource utilization. Risk management processes and the Earned Value method of project control will be presented. In addition to these activities, students will participate in a personality assessment exercise using the Five Factor Model. Instructor: Joe Morgan, Lockard & White Learning Center opportunity to identify problems before they affect system operations, reliability and productivity.
