Course Description

This 5-day course is designed to provide participants with essential knowledge in both process and mechanical engineering, focusing on their roles in industrial design, plant operations, and systems optimization. The training explores engineering principles, system design considerations, equipment functions, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and process integration. It bridges the gap between process and mechanical disciplines, fostering better communication and collaboration in multidisciplinary engineering environments. This course is valuable for early-career engineers, cross-functional team members, and technical professionals seeking foundational competence.

Course Objectives

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:

  • Understand the core principles of process and mechanical engineering
  • Interpret PFDs and P&IDs and understand system schematics
  • Describe fluid flow, thermodynamics, and heat transfer fundamentals
  • Identify common process equipment and mechanical components and their functions
  • Understand materials selection and mechanical design considerations
  • Analyze the relationship between process requirements and mechanical system design
  • Apply industry standards and codes conceptually to design and operation scenarios

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for Junior Process and Mechanical Engineers, Project Engineers and Plant Engineers, Technicians and Technical Supervisors, Maintenance and Reliability Engineers.

End of the Course

Assessment Methodology

All courses conducted by EdTech will begin with a Pre-evaluation and end with a Post-evaluation. The instructor will evaluate the knowledge and skills of the participants according to the feedback given by participants. This will help to recognize the benefits and the level of knowledge gained by participants through the course.

Training Methodology

Facilitated by a highly qualified specialist, who has extensive knowledge and experience; this program will be conducted using extensively interactive methods, encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply the program material to real-life work situations in order to stimulate group discussions and improve the efficiency of the subject coverage.

Percentages of the total course hour classification are:

  • ​40% Theoretical lectures, Concepts and approach
  • 20% Motivation to develop individual skill and Techniques
  • 20% Case Studies and Practical Exercises
