(Three Working days)

Course Objectives:
The ability to communicate with others to convey ideas and messages, especially if
they are a group of people requires capabilities, which can only be acquired by
learning and training. The ability to convey ideas orally is of great importance,
whatever your position in society. For a university student, it increases his awareness
of communication skills, whether with his professors or colleagues. Applicants for job
cannot obtain it unless they are able to present themselves in a convincing manner,
showing their ability to carry out what is required of them in the job. In the academic
field, oral communication is an urgent necessity between colleagues and for junior
students.

 5. Change Management in Organizations
(3 Working days)

Objective:
Organizations have to learn how to anticipate and implement change effectively. Managers
need to find ways to overcome their employees’ natural dislike to change, because managing
change effectively can mean the difference between staying in business and becoming
irrelevant to their customers.

Organizational change is the transformation or adjustment to the way an organization

function. Organizations adjust to small changes all the time, possibly looking to improve
productivity, responding to a new regulation, hiring a new employee, or something similar.
But on top of these little adjustments, there are larger pressures that appear over us, like
competition, technology, or customer demands. Those larger pressures sometimes require
larger responses.

Participants will learn about the nature of change; main causes, methods and techniques of
managing change. Participants will understand reasons of organization changes and how to
predict and plan for change.

Who Should Attend:

Top /Middle Management Level, Project managers
Course Outlines:
1. What is meant by “Change Management”
2. Globalization and business dynamics (Global Reasons behind change requests in
enterprise)
3. Forces of change: Social, Political, Technological, Economical & Internal forces for
change
4. Two schools for managing change (Planned and Unplanned Change)
5. The three steps of Kurt Lewin Change Model (unfreezing, changing and refreezing.)
6. Practical Steps for Applying Change
7. The 7 R’s of change management
8. Obstacles experienced during major organization Change
9. Kubler Ross Curve of “Resistance to Change”

(Metals And Alloys)

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The course aims at discussing methods for
investigating metallic materials and industrial alloys. It
includes mechanical testing techniques,
metallographic investigation as well as chemical
analysis. The course includes discussion of
international specifications of metals and alloys and
how to relate results of analysis to these
specifications.

COURSE OUTLINES:
1. Mechanical Testing of metallic Products: Tension, Compression, Impact,
Shear and bending tests
2. Metallographic analysis of metals and alloys: Optical Microscopy,
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron
Microscope (TEM).
3. Chemical Analysis using X-Ray fluorescence principals
4. Crystallography and X-Ray diffraction.
5. Outlines of the American and European specifications of industrial
alloys.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The course is of interest to scientists, engineers and senior technicians
working in the field of analysis of metals and alloys. Also, those who are
working in specifying, Purchasing, design or fabrication of such materials
may find the course of interest. The courses items might be detailed in
several other courses according to the items of interest to customers.

Additionally, quizzes are given at the end of each section; homework is
handed out at the end of each class day and is reviewed at the beginning
of the following day.

Who Should Attend?

The course is intended for Inspection Engineers who are seeking API-
570 certification. Other Engineers, managers or technical staffs who are
dealing with Piping Systems will also benefit if they attend the course.
