Fundamentals of Gearing 2.0 provides a comprehensive overview of the gear industry. The course begins with a brief history of gearing, then proceeds to core concepts such as parallel-axis gear basics, involute tooth forms, diametrical pitch/module, pitch, and pressure angle. The module concludes with a glossary of 37 essential gear terms—ensuring learners have a solid technical vocabulary for both shop floor and engineering environments. Hobbing 2.0 is designed for machine operators, gear technicians, and engineers. It covers the hobbing process, hob cutting tool terminology, generating gears, hobbing machine terminology, mounting and truing of hobs and workpieces, basic part inspection, and identification of common problems such as tooth size deviations and runout. This practical, application-focused approach helps learners translate theory into daily operational skills. Parallel Gear Inspection 2.0 focuses on level-one gear inspection. The course introduces measurement categories, single and double flank composite inspection, measurement sequences, and evaluation of gear characteristics. Learners gain insight into when and how to measure gear elements and understand the classification of gear quality, preparing them for real-world quality control tasks. “These programs are MPMA’s most downloaded courses,” Lewis notes. “We want to make sure they continue to provide the best resource for training new employees on the basics of gear manufacturing. As technology changes, our training must evolve with it.”</span></p>
