This course caters to engineers who are directly or indirectly responsible for safe and successful execution of engineering projects - projects involving engineering design, construction, start-up, and commissioning of manufacturing, commercial, and institutional equipment and facilities. In this program, the instructor shares proven best practices in the realm of engineering and leading large capital investment efforts; learnt, vetted and proven over 34 years of engineering projects in diverse industrial settings. Through this course, participants will be exposed to proven methods for engineering projects from start to finish.
The program begins with the formulation, vetting and acceptance of the engineering project objective and takes the audience all the way to commissioning and project closure stage - navigating through all phases of project implementation or execution. All phases of typical large project – with budgets exceeding 0.5 million dollars, and schedules extending over multiple months - are covered. In addition to being introduced to tools and methods used by engineers, participants will get the opportunity to learn lessons that are seldom covered in textbooks and are often acquired through experience. The program is designed to be interactive where audience is encouraged to participate and share their experiences, challenges, failures and successes; this enriches the audience’s learning. Audience is engaged through Q&A, classwork, and ad hoc discussions pertaining to the topic.
