Training Course Overview

This Mechanical Engineering Essentials training course is designed to help technical personnel gain a strong understanding of core engineering principles, along with various techniques such as inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation. This intensive training course aims to provide individuals in fields like mechanical, process, petrochemical engineering, and related sectors an opportunity to refresh and enhance their foundational knowledge and skills in modern Mechanical Engineering.

The training course covers a broad range of topics, with particular emphasis on material properties, design, and the design and inspection of both static and rotating equipment.

This training course will feature:

  • Pressure vessels design, inspection and materials selection
  • Heat exchangers types, design and failure analysis
  • Valves types, sizing and materials selection
  • Piping system design, inspection and fitness for service
  • Pumps & compressors types, sizing and problems
  • Turbines main components and failure analysis

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Perform NDE (Non-Destructive Examination) for static and rotating equipment
  • Select proper materials for static and rotating equipment
  • Understand the principle of operation and design for these equipment
  • Protect the equipment from corrosion
  • Identify different mode failures of static and rotating equipment

Designed for

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Technical & non-technical personnel in the chemical, petrochemical, oil & mechanical industries with a need to understand and discuss fundamental mechanical engineering issues
  • Maintenance and project engineers, production engineers, trainee mechanical engineers and plant operators
  • Non-experienced personnel needing a basic understanding of Mechanical Engineering concepts

Learning Methods

This Mechanical Engineering Essentials training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes combined sound engineering principles, methods, and applicable codes & standards and best industry practices. Actual major incidents as well as industry experience will be reviewed in depth to reinforce every topic. Case studies and examples will cover a range of levels, making the course also suitable for non-technical staff.

The training course combines structured and focused presentations and discussions of topics covered with relevant examples and question & answer sessions to maximize the benefits to the participants. Participants will be provided with comprehensive training course notes and copies of all presentation material. These will be very valuable for detailed study and future reference.
