A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE OFFERED BY THE ASM AKRON CHAPTER

Have you been thinking about how to get additional Professional Development Credit and enhance your Technical Expertise? Make the most of budgeted intentions and plan for your 2012 education and training today.

Consider this:
The ASM Akron Chapter is presenting the course:

“PRESSURE VESSELS: DESIGN, MATERIALS, RISK MANAGEMENT".

The instructors are engineers with both industrial and academic experience, thereby qualifying to provide professional development credit for Professional Engineers in Ohio.

This course is designed to provide innovating aspects of engineering practice, including design philosophy, material selection, corrosion mitigation, and risk assessment as applied to a real life product – pressure vessels.

There will be a focus on parameters that lead to design of an economical and safe pressure vessel. The interaction of important factors, such as stress, loading, materials selection and properties, and environmental degradation, will be developed. Analyses of pressure vessel failures will illustrate modes of failure and corrective measures that should be employed. Incorporation of risk management and mitigation will show the importance of initial and life cycle costs.

Sessions will run for 3 Saturdays, February 11, 18, and 25, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and will be held at the University of Akron.
