This extensive new Course covers an in-depth review of the three greatest risks in Engineering Design at a level beneficial to all engineering disciplines.The range of topics covered is immense and the course provides attendees with many basic principles, design guidelines and checklists.     
This high-grade course enables engineers and scientists involved in design, projects and plant operations to assess the design requirements for addressing corrosion, crack avoidance and hazards at a first level of professional design. 
 
This Course focusses firstly on corrosion and sets out many aspects of the various corrosion types and mechanisms. It compares the way in which materials are selected for service in various corrosive environments.

The second main section involves training attendees to apply the E4A design algorithm and analytical methods. We discuss in detail the variables stemming from these analyses and how these should be considered in all engineering designs. We also ‘drill down’ on the critical variables of corrosion types. The use of the variables listings and E4A selected corrosion charts, paves the way to the first level of choice of materials for industry applications.    

The Course then sets out various crack types and mechanisms . It shows how materials are selected while limiting the crack prone services and thus the next level of material selection for industry. The Course especially addresses those aspects of risk that initiate cracks and crack propagation, as well as important critical variables such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and embrittlement, notably hydrogen embrittlement.   
The third main section of the Course addresses those areas of risk that are particularly hazardous in most industries with the main emphasis on fire and explosion hazards avoidance by design.  
The topics addressed are centred on the identification of critical variables in the total system analyses.      

The final summary is prepared as a series of design stages or steps in the E4A master chart manner with control checklists and the appropriate design approaches. We include in the Course interesting and unusual case studies and factual examples of materials selection and application.

MAIN OBJECTIVES

The main objective is to provide engineers with the fundamentals of design and management of the three greatest risk subjects of the Course and to thereby limit failure and avoid the excessive costs and downtime stemming from such failure. 
Economic benefits are also achieved through optimisation of the design and a deeper understanding of how design approaches and parameters can be leveraged to greater savings and profits, whilst not compromising any safety factors or EHS considerations.
