"The Rotating Machinery MSc. was a highly rewarding technical experience. I had been working as Rotating…
… Machinery Engineer for about 7 years prior to commencement of this programme but the programme offered a lot of in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge to key fields in Rotating Machinery application and design. The quality and huge experience of the Course Tutors also made the programme very enticing and interesting as major problems encountered in the rotating machinery systems application and design were comprehensively treated. My sincere gratitude goes to the organizers of the programme because I benefitted immensely from participation in this programme. Currently, I apply the principles and knowledge gained in the course of this study to tackling rotating machinery system application, design, maintenance, test and operational problems encountered in my job with much improved understanding."

"Knowing my particular learning style and full time job commitments, I was a bit hesitant when the only…
… workable graduate level program for my schedule was offered on-line. I usually like traditional class room environment. The combination of an on-line class, time constraints and the challenging nature of the material to be covered contributed to my nervousness. I found however, that it was not as bad as I had imagined. Do not get me wrong, there is a lot of work involved for each course module within the allocated time. Near completion I felt this was a valuable graduate level programme and allowed me to better understand design, selection, application and operational side of rotating equipment engineering and associated system basics."

"This is an Excellent program where I got the guidance of real experts not only in the theoretical side…
… but in the field too. This practical study method (PBL) pushed us to situations what we need to face in the industry and has expanded, enhanced and reinforced my skills to another level not just in the Rotating Machinery field but also in all main mechanical engineering bases. Definitely, I would take the same decision today about choosing the program if I had the opportunity"

“In my opinion this was a very good module, very well presented study notes, The assignment was demanding and interesting” (Module 4: Reciprocating Compressors and Applications)

"I would suggest completing of a complete API 617 data sheet including the impeller and Roto-dynamic section" (Module 14: Specification and Performance of Electrical and Mechanical Rotating Equipment)

“I enjoyed this module - it was pretty challenging for me since I was out of college already for 10 years or more!" (Module 1: Principles of Turbomachinery)

"Nice notes and the availability and explanations of the professor" (Module 16: Machinery Financials and Life Cycle Cost)

“Very good overview, but it could be more design details of the motor (bearings, cooling) in the study notes” (Module 5: Electric Motors and Variable Frequency Drives)

“Really good notes! And well explained. Congrats!” (Module 8: Instrumentation and Control of Turbomachinery)

“More case studies and data sheet development excercises can be benefecial also”  (Module 8: Instrumentation and Control of Turbomachinery)

“It was a long module and assignment, and a bit hard for the time scheduled”(Module 9: Fatigue, Fracture and Stress Analysis of Machine Components)

“This module was great. I missed some more time to work the assignment and the notes, as both are really enriching and interesting” (Module 3: Centrifugal Compressors and Applications)

“I am satisfied by this module quality, but we can consider the control panel control basics for motor and generator as addition to this high quality module”(Module 5: Electric Motors and Variable Frequency Drives)

“It was an interesting module but maybe we would need a couple of weeks more. I think its not a module for just 2 weeks because personally i spent a lot of time dealing with octave and scrips rather than learning about analize vibrations and know what happen and why, once we have the frequency spectrum. I think this is really important related for maintenance. And I would like to remark the really high background and availability of the professor for any doubt, via skype, forum or whatever” (Module 10: Vibrations)

"I think these notes are the best so far in the course. Concepts are clear. Structure of notes excellent. Coverage of the topic and depth of material excellent. Based on notes and VC the instructor is clearly an EXPERT in this field with excellent knowledge base" (Module 04: Reciprocating Compressors and Applications)

“It would be useful for beginners, provide basic information about bearings construction details and description of technical terms. About the rest, it has been a good module with a very attentive instructor and alway willing to help quickly” (Module 11: Bearing design)

“RCM and RAM Analysis plus some real life example will be very useful” (Module 17: Reliability)

“It is an interesting course quite alright, but wide examples are need so as to understand better within the two weeks which is already short” (Module 12: Rotordynamics)

“Professor is very supportive and knowledgeable. Very interesting module. As usual need more time for through understanding. Octave is a very good tool. –Thank you Proff for all your support” (Module 12: Bearing design)

“Really enjoyed the module!” (Module 17: Reliability)

"There are too many references to refer to and not enough time to keenly look at all and apply them in the module" (Module 9: Fatigue, Fracture and Stress Analysis of Machine Components)
