What is Piping Plant Engineering Technology?
The Plant Engineering Technology (piping) program is an interactive and practical program. Students of this program will learn the basics of plumbing components, various codes and standards. Students also learn the basics of plant layout, pipe stress analysis, piping equipment, principles and procedures for designing a plant. Practical training based on real project examples is used in this program. In addition, students are exposed to the role and responsibilities of a plumbing designer in implementing a plumbing design project. In addition, students have the opportunity to apply all their knowledge of the principles and standards of plumbing design in their final year projects.
Why did you choose this programme?
A piping system is crucial to any process plant; hence it needs to be designed with precision and care. The efficiency of a plant highly depends on its ability to transport fluid through the pipes to various equipment that function collectively. In order to create a piping system, it requires a systematic analysis of various engineering methods. In the past years, many standard practices for piping system has emerged, and today piping system is considered to be one of the major engineering sciences. As a result there is a continuous need for trained piping engineers to design piping system in every engineering and construction company.
