The instructors for the various modules demonstrated their industry experience through the course content and discussions . The web based education with the Problem Based Learning makes the course convenient for practicing engineers with possibility to have a good work , study and life balance."	Herrera, Pedro 2014-15 . "This Program is an enriching experience in the field of Rotating Machinery, very well focused on developing… … skills you will need to better perform your job in the industry. It was an enjoyable, but challenging experience."	Clamagiran Garcia, Jose Manuel 2014-15 . "This Rotating Machinery Master allows to know rotating machinery widely . A lot of interesting Modules… … with important details gave me so much new knowledge. Very useful. Best of luck to everyone."
Gad, Amr 2014-15 . "It was an interesting opportunity to interact with different colleagues and professors through out this… … Mastering course which was of good opportunity to enrich my knowledge and gain more experience through applying real cases of technical exercises along with theoretical applications which definitely was a good knowledge and interaction opportunity among various colleagues in the oil and gas industry."	Garcia Vicente, Alejandro 2014-15 . "The Master I found quite interesting and very useful for my professional life, especially because they… … have explained different aspects of rotating machinery, not only pumps, turbines or compressors, if not as explained smallest details of these machines, such as vibration."	Breton, Miguel 2015-16 . "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"	Lopez Moreno, Carlos 2015-16 . "The Rotating Machinery Master has contributed to strengthen my skills in fundamental areas of rotating… … machinery engineering such as design, selection, application, failure analysis and troubleshooting, maintenance and reliability"
Sufiyan, Mohammad 2015-16 . "The masters program in rotating machinery elaborated many aspects of rotating equipment engineering… … that in turn assisted me in carrying out tasks that were undoable for me before the program. The concept of working in a team provided a wide opportunity for sharing knowledge and expertise alone with the guidance from the tutors for this masters program"	Sall, Evan 2015-16 .
