PROGRAM SYNOPSIS

The program aims to realize the experiential learning of industry-typical knowledge, skills, and practices in process and engineering design – herein of an integrated facility consisting of a simple Crude Oil Refinery and a Tank Farm. A participant Trainee will be involved in a collaborative exercise with respective Facilitators/Trainers to be mentored/coached to complete the Design Work for the above captioned benchmarked project, defined as one that has actually been proven, previously and in principle, as good for completing a detailed engineering.

Design Work will envisage execution of a set of inter-related task activities of a typical but simulated engineering design office exercises to complete the Project, all within 48 modulated Half-Day Sessions – and whilst having attended at least 80%, including the last two of them. Upon assessed completion, participant Trainees will have had been exposed to and acquired the basic, and including key, competencies needful toward delivering due industry-typical Design document and reports developed based on prepared data sheets, calculations, diagrams, drawings, specifications, preliminary cost estimates, economic analysis, and project life cycle analysis – all to be achieved within the specified timelines and quality. [A PDF image of the program session details, and the standard FAQs can be viewed on the IEM website] 

The program has been endorsed by IEM as meeting, in principle, an equivalent six(6) month experiential exposure in Design – the minimum Design exposure required to qualify as a graduate Chemical Engineer candidate for the IEM’s Professional Interview(PI).
