EETC Train The Trainer Workshops

Train the trainer workshops from EETC are back for 2022, with two just announced: July 12-14 and July 19-21 in North Carolina. Each workshop is limited to 16 attendees, and pre-registration is required. The three-day hands-on workshop will provide the knowledge and confidence to conduct a basic 4-cycle small engine course. The curriculum and lesson plans are designed for high schools and middle schools, and will teach attendees how to make the subject matter engaging and interactive with multi-media resources and hands-on labs. The factory-trained, certified instructors teach the course curriculum with the goal to make small engine programs impactful, engaging, and interactive!

Topics covered include ignition systems, fuels and oils, timing and lubrication systems, cooling systems, assembly/disassembly procedures, governor systems, compression systems and fuel systems. EETC will also provide a general curriculum that can be adapted to STEM guidelines, as well as available resources following the course. The course is taught using Briggs & Stratton 950 series horizontal shaft OHV engines—found in many of EETC engine kits sold for students.

Registration includes three room nights at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, lunch and refreshments each day, one Small Engines (4th edition) textbook & workbook, plus a USB drive with the EETC small engine curriculum and OHV engine instructor’s reference guide.
