CANETCO provides professional development courses for engineers and facility managers across Canada - covering the applied skills that undergraduate programs don't teach and the job actually requires.
There are many engineering training companies in Canada. Most offer broad catalogues of general professional development content. CANETCO does one thing: applied thermal and mechanical systems training, taught by a practicing P.Eng. with 40 years of industry and teaching experience.
The CANETCO engineering training program covers the applied skills that practicing engineers need across five technical areas. Every course combines fundamental theory, practical calculation methods, and real-world application — the same approach used in over 40 years of teaching at McMaster University and in the field.
Equipment selection, sizing and design, codes and standards, commissioning, energy optimization, and troubleshooting. The complete HVAC knowledge base for engineers and facility managers.
Fundamentals of refrigeration, component selection, system design, piping, refrigerant management, diagnostics, and energy conservation for industrial and commercial systems.
Energy saving opportunities in boilers, steam distribution, waste-heat recovery, HVAC, lighting, pumps, and fans. Up to 40% energy cost reduction through systematic analysis.
Design, sizing, and selection of gas piping, liquid piping, and all major heat exchanger types. Applied fluid mechanics and thermodynamics for practicing engineers.
Every course is delivered live via Zoom with hands-on workshops. All count toward PEO PEAK continuing professional development requirements as core engineering learning hours.
CANETCO has trained professionals from engineering consulting firms, energy and utility companies, government agencies, nuclear facilities, institutional facilities, and mechanical contractors. Our training program serves engineers at any career stage — from recent graduates building applied skills to mid-career professionals assigned new technical responsibilities.

CANETCO offers 15 professional development courses across four disciplines: HVAC systems, refrigeration and chiller plants, energy management, and thermo-fluid systems including piping and heat exchangers. All courses are PEO PEAK compliant and delivered live online.
Yes. All CANETCO courses count toward the mandatory continuing professional development requirement for Professional Engineers Ontario. Courses provide between 2 and 28 formal CPD hours, all qualifying as core engineering learning.
CANETCO courses are developed and delivered by Dr. Mohamed S. Hamed, a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McMaster University with over 40 years of industry and teaching experience. Every course bridges the gap between textbook theory and practical application - covering real calculations, industry rules of thumb, and the ASHRAE standards that Canadian building codes reference by law.
