Practical Workshop in Materials Selection Engineering

Course Introduction

Designed for professionals in Mechanical Engineering, this five-day workshop-based course builds practical command of Materials Selection Engineering. Every session pairs a clear concept with a workplace exercise, so learning turns into capability rather than notes.

Training Objectives

• 01Describe how Materials Selection Engineering is defined, governed and measured in international practice
• 02Work through typical situations in static and rotating equipment and piping systems using structured Materials Selection Engineering techniques
• 03Recognise common risks, errors and non-conformities linked to Materials Selection Engineering — and how to prevent them
• 04Choose the right indicators and records to monitor Materials Selection Engineering over time
• 05Translate the course learning into a realistic plan agreed with your line manager

What You Will Take Away

• A field-ready checklist you can use on your next job
• Worked calculation and troubleshooting examples
• Reference tables and rules of thumb for daily decisions

Who Should Attend

• Mechanical Engineers
• Piping & Static Equipment Engineers
• Maintenance Engineers
• Inspection Engineers

Prerequisites: Open to all levels; participants are encouraged to bring a real work challenge.

Training Methodology

Learning happens by doing — teams work through practical tasks, present their results and receive immediate feedback. Case material and examples are drawn from static and rotating equipment and piping systems.
