The new resource will offer engineers free seminars, blog posts, tools and a library created by KEMET’s electronics experts.
"KEMET has long recognized the need for concise educational content for real-world passive circuit designs," said Per Loof, KEMET chief executive officer. "Our technical team designed Engineering Center to enhance our position as the easy-to-design-in company, increasing our value as a trusted supplier and partner."
The resource is designed to offer engineers answers to questions they might have when designing products. The content will focus on engineers at all levels, from student to working professional.
"Engineering Center fills in the gaps often found between the theoretical curriculum taught in engineering schools and the raw technical data provided on a data sheets," said James Lewis, KEMET technical marketing director. "Engineers require this information to bring their projects from concept to completion without going through the hassle of deciphering product-specific material and applying it to their designs."
The Web has become a vast source of engineering knowledge and offers ever-increasing opportunities for continuing education. For example, various universities are offering free massively open online courses (MOOCS). Many schools are taking their master’s degrees online, and those with the budget for it may consider online postgraduate studies. With topics like computer and electrical engineering, these courses might offer additional background engineers can use to complete their work more efficiently.

It should be noted that these online master’s degrees are not all theoretical, as Lewis suggests. With the use of remote labs, and even mail order labs, many online programs are becoming very practical. To learn more, follow this link.
None-the less, KEMET's online Engineering Center should offer some key electronics information to engineers free of charge.
