The BFPA has produced three minimum education recommendation guides covering hydraulics, pneumatics and electrical/electronics. The guides, which took two years to compile, represent the consolidated view of leading representatives and experts within the fluid power industry.
The recommendations in the three guides are primarily intended for those personnel involved in the maintenance and management of fluid power and related electrical/electronic systems – anyone who is expected to operate and maintain fluid power components and systems at a practical level. However, many other related engineering professions would benefit across a range of levels from advanced apprentices to service engineers, technical representatives and project engineers.
Appropriately applied, BFPA says these recommendations establish a foundation upon which any individual may develop their engineering career and become more involved in broader integrated systems engineering.
