"Mathematical Modelling for Engineers" is the title of our new 2 day training course designed to help practising engineers understand and avoid common engineering failures and quantify technical risk. It is scheduled to start in February 2011. Download the course brochure and syllabus here.
SUMMARY: A mathematic model is a description of a system using numerical logic. Once constructed a model shows how a system responds to change and gives you a tool to assess risk, to optimise and to innovate. Copying from a library of solutions learn how to build models quickly to cover any engineering system and support technical decisions. Attendees have access to the library, and other resources, both during and after the course. We avoid use of specialist software and only assume that attendees have Microsoft Excel (any version). Discover little known Excel techniques and best practise for mathematical modelling. We take real life examples from theme parks case studies to showcase common engineering elements like structures, connections and machine components. Attendees work together to build their own rollercoaster and manage their new attraction to avoid engineering failure scenarios.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: The course is intended for practising engineers of any discipline (civil, structural and mechanical) particularly those involved with design, service provision and engineering management.
COURSE LEADER: John Doyle BSc(eng)., Ceng., MIMechE., ACGI was born in
1965 and is a graduate of London’s Imperial College with some 25 years
of experience in solving engineering problems. After graduating he
joined Rolls Royce where he attained chartered status with the Institute
of Mechanical Engineers. Having risen to the position of Chief
Mechanical Engineer with Bombardier Transportation he started his own
engineering consultancy in 1995 called MoreVision. It specialises in
engineering analyses applied to railway vehicles, construction
equipment, oil and gas plant, cranes and mechanical items for theme
parks. His client list includes Shell, Bombardier, Siemens, Volvo and
Disney. He won a UK Government SMART competition for software innovation
and his website attracts over 18,000 unique visitors every month.

| Additional dates |
We believe the course will be enormously useful for engineers as well as good fun. We intend to run this course throughout the year at other locations. Please email to register your interest in the course. This will help in the selection of course locations and to gauge interest. Alternatively call us in the US +1 617 500 8224 or EU +44113815 2220. | |
A place on the course is secured by paying the course fee. The course starts at 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day. Training venue details may change due to response from attendees. Hotel arrangements are the responsibility of each registrant.
UNSCHEDULED COURSES: We also offer on-site training (see examples). This is likely to be the most cost effective option if your organisation is considering sending 5 delegates or more for training.
TRAINING PROVIDERS: We work with other training providers should they want to add this course to their training schedule.Repository news
Anyone can see the calculation previews but you will need an XLC Pro subscription to download them. It only costs $90 and gives you access to downloads for one year and unrestricted use of our XLC software. Without this support we could not help you make great calculations to and solve your technical problems. Please review your subscription and consider upgrading to an XLC Pro subscription. Thank you.
