Minneapolis, MN—Registration for the next GEAPS-Purdue distance-education course, "Grain Facilities Planning and Design II", or GEAPS 511, is now open.

The five-week course, held once previously, begins April 14.

It focuses on the basic principles of planning, layout, and design of commercial grain-handling facilities.

Although the course is a companion to another GEAPS-Purdue planning and design course, it was developed to stand on its own, and there is no prerequisite.

No travel is required for the ten-lecture program.

Lectures are mailed to students on CDs for playback on their computers.

Quizzes, reading materials, interaction with faculty members, and networking with others enrolled all occur through a dedicated course website.

The course is designed to be as convenient as possible for industry professionals and other students.

Work can be done day or night, seven days a week, during the five-week period.

Those successfully completing the course receive a certificate and one continuing education unit from Purdue University.

GEAPS and Purdue jointly develop and offer distance-education courses to GEAPS members and others in the grain industry.

Registration may be made through April 4 online, or mailed to the GEAPS office.

GEAPS 511 is being reoffered as a convenience to members and others who weren't able to participate the first time it was held in August-September 2007.

Members are entitled to a sizable registration discount.
