Process engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with chemical engineering principles, but also with many of the other engineering disciplines including electrical and instrumentation, but especially mechanical.
The process engineer is interested in the transportation and transformation of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics, and fluid flow, reaction engineering, but also process control and economics.
The mechanical engineer is interested in safe containment and movement of solids, liquids, and gases, often at high temperature and pressure. Of specific importance are failure modes such as fracture, fatigue and creep, corrosion and corrosion minimization, material properties, design standards, static & rotating equipment design, inspection, and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring. Sound mechanical engineering principles, together with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation, enable the mechanical engineer to design and maintain the equipment required by the process engineers

With competition increasing every day and the mounting pressures that characterize tough economic times, you need proven marketing techniques to generate demand for your products and services. The Certified Marketing Professional training course offers a variety of important marketing concepts that will give you solid knowledge about conventional marketing topics such as marketing planning, marketing audit, marketing communications, and marketing research. It is a must for professionals who would like to exploit marketing arenas for the first time or wish to refresh their marketing know-how.
Certified Hotel Administrator (CHA) is a credential that recognizes your competence and talents in the hotel industry. It honors General Managers and Hospitality Executives’ leadership and management abilities and provides them with more prospects for advancement. CHA Certified Hotel Administrator credential is one of the most prestigious certifications available.
This course is designed for IT professionals who are looking to take on the role of Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in an organization. The course will cover key concepts and skills in information security, including risk management, security governance, incident response, and compliance.
The Service Operation (SO) module is one of the certifications within the ITIL Service Lifecycle workstream. This module focuses on the principles, processes, operational activities, and functions that enable organizations and individuals to successfully manage how their products and services perform. These activities can also help improve their IT service management.
The SO module focuses on the coordination and execution of activities that enable the ongoing management and operation of the products or services developed or implemented during the service strategy, design, and transition phases of the IT Service Lifecycle as well as any technology and support resources that are used to deliver them.
The course covers management and control of activities and techniques that are documented in the ITIL Service Operation publication, but it does not provide the full detail of each supporting process. More information about these processes can be found in the Operational Support and Analysis module from the Service Capability workstream.
Understanding of Service Operation best practice enables organizations and IT teams to effectively sustain and maintain the products and services they develop and ensure that they provide efficient resources for their users.
The leadership bears new responsibilities and burdens posed by the successive challenges of change in the era of globalization, the communications revolution and the Internet sovereignty that have begun and will not end.
Together, these factors lead to the need to ascertain the readiness of the executive leader and his ability to deal with these challenges of a strategic nature and adapt them to serve the purposes, goals, and objectives of the institution and achieve its higher mission.
