Course

The Plant Administration and Applied Mechanics course has been designed based on the SOPEEC syllabus to prepare students for TSSA exam 2A-1.

The course aligns with the PanGlobal Power Engineering 2nd Class - A1 textbook and is designed so that students can complete the weekly readings and assignments around their work schedule.

Topics of study include calculations of ASME vessel component thicknesses, reinforcement compensation of openings, firetube boiler components and stays. Applied Mechanics calculations are also covered in areas of statics and dynamics. Students must demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the Act and Regulations, and apply the knowledge to management principles for a typical plant including maintenance and safety administration.

The final exam in this course is modelled on the format and question type of the SOPEEC exam to further help students prepare for the 2A-1 exam.

This course is for 3rd Class Stationary Engineers preparing to take the TSSA 2nd Class Stationary Engineering Qualification. Students are responsible for ensuring they meet TSSA eligibility requirements for challenging the exam.
