Whereas our specialized courses are offered through out the year at our Chicago office, Design Engine Education instructors are also flexible to accommodate your group or company by teaching classes onsite at your facility. Our instructors are not just taught how to teach specific software; they are high level users and don't get stuck when specific questions are asked during class that may veer from the structured training (like many of our competitors). We have heard stories from costumers about other training they received onsite and the instructor could not veer from the course material.

Our onsite training efforts are reflected successfully at Schick, Fisher-Price, Yamaha, Motorola, Knoll, John Deere, General Atomics, M3 Design, IDEO, British Aerospace, Valley Lab, Triumph, and Cannondale onsite training efforts. Call 312.226.8339 today to speak to one of our recognized instructors or inquire for past manufactures references. Inside US and overseas our instructors each carry valid passports for training abroad.

The History of Tires and How they are Constructed

The first rubber tires appeared in the mid-1800's, they were were made of solid rubber also know as cushion tires.

Barber Motorcycle Museum

When a designer or engineer thinks of a Museum we think of Moma or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Or perhaps we think of the Museum of Science and Industry? Probably the last thing that comes to mind is a motorcycle museum.
