COURSE OVERVIEW:

The course will provide participants with the main concepts, structure, and technical terms used in engineering codes and standards. It introduces the role of codes, standards and recommended practices in engineering design, how they are developed and maintained, and how they are applied in day-to-day engineering work.

Participants will gain an overview of internationally adopted design codes, commonly used discipline-specific engineering codes, and the relationship between mandatory code requirements, recommendations, and acceptable options or alternatives. The course will also introduce the concepts of standardization and codification and show how they support consistent, safe, and efficient engineering drawings and specifications across projects.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Explain the basic concepts of engineering codes, standards, and recommended practices and their role in design and project execution.
2. Describe the purpose of standardization and codification in engineering documents and how they support consistency and quality.
3. Identify major internationally adopted design codes that are commonly applied in engineering projects.
4. Recognize various normally used engineering codes for different disciplines and facilities.
5. Distinguish between mandatory code requirements, recommended practices, and optional provisions or alternatives.
6. Interpret key technical terms and typical clause structures found in codes and standards.
7. Apply basic principles for selecting and referencing appropriate codes and standards in engineering drawings and specifications.
8. Understand the importance of company or project general specifications and their relationship with external codes and standards.
9. Contribute more effectively to the creation and review of engineering drawings and documents for code and standard compliance.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Employees involved in creating engineering drawings and documents

-Employees involved in reviewing and checking engineering drawings

-Design engineers and designers from all disciplines

-Draftsmen and CAD technicians working with coded drawings and specifications

-QA and document control staff who support engineering documentation and standards control

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance learning. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
