You Will Learn To
• Explain the basic working principles of various turbo-machines
• Recognize design and operational features, and their interaction with

each other
• Identify new materials technology to improve durability, reduce weight

and increase load- carrying capacity
• Develop in-depth methods to maximize performance and meet

exacting requirements
• Explain application of methods to achieve stricter restrictions on

environmental pollutants
• Analyze technological solutions to optimize operation and achieve,

oftentimes, conflicting goals

Who Should Attend
Design and development engineers, plant engineers, field service
engineers and technical managers with product and/or project
responsibility will benefit from this course. Individuals familiar with
calculus and personal computers, and those with a Bachelor’s degree
or equivalent work experience will have sufficient background for this
course.

Special Requirements
Participants should bring a laptop to the course.
