240 hours of self-guided training through our platform, with no scheduled sessions, the possibility to ask questions to the instructor, and progress at your own pace.

15 hours of live virtual classes with the instructor. Classes are primarily practical, focusing on the resolution of real-life cases.

This course is intended for graduates (or soon to be), designers, freelancers, technicians and engineers involved in: calculation, design, selection, manufacturing, safety, quality and maintenance of systems and equipment in industrial processes.
Previous knowledge of this subject is not required to attend to the course.

The main objective of this course is to transfer to participants the theoretical and practical skills required in projects, obtained from experience and sound engineering practices.

Course participants will gain the knowledge for the safe and economical design of the main mechanical equipment used in most industrial plants.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to design the main parts of the mechanical equipment proposed.
