At the 67th Annual Conference, we offer the following classes for your professional development. The classes are offered to expand your expertise as a Mass Properties Engineer (MPE), so we hope that SAWE members will take classes in fields other than their own area of expertise or industry. The classes consist of lectures, exercises, and discussion. Each student will receive a copy of the training materials and a certificate upon completion. Some classes require that students bring their own laptop.
