Their services are required in every field like Automobile, Railways, Ship building, Construction, machinery Manufacture and other varied industrial fields. One of the career option available to them is is to go in for Engineering, Procurement and Construction of Chemical Plants . However, in order to be a Design and Construction engineer in EPC companies executing Chemical Projects, He or She needs to have certain specific knowledge and software skills specific to this industry.

This course is intended to guide the fresh Mechanical Engineers on their role and scope of work in Chemical projects. Lectures are set in such a way that the various deliverables to be generated by the Mechanical Engineer are given in proper sequence in which the projects proceed from the beginning.
