from Mark Shelton I am pleased to announce that the East Tennessee Section
of the AIChE will sponsor the following short course this fall: Course: Conceptual
Development and Cost Estimating of Engineering Projects Instructor: John
Williams Dates: October
15-16 Location: B-150C,
Multimedia Room Schedule: Cost: ~$1,000 /
student Class Size: 25+
(I will reserve 5 slots for Non-Eastman AIChE members.) Conceptual Development and Cost
Estimating of Engineering Projects 2 Days, 1.5 CEUs, 15 PDHs Cost, cost, cost! Doesn’t anybody care about quality?
Actually, they do. But to have the opportunity to consistently perform
quality work in industry, you have to accurately estimate the cost of
delivering it. This course teaches plant and project engineers, project
managers, plant maintenance personnel, and engineering mangers how to develop
and optimize accurate and timely cost estimates for engineering projects in
process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, biological,
petrochemical, materials, petroleum, and gas. It covers how to effectively
conceptualize an engineering project and make estimates based on project
type, size, and location, and how to factor in risk and other uncertainties.
Using accepted estimating terminology, it deals with equipment costs,
installation factors, assignment of contingencies, scaling methods, and cost
escalation. It also covers detailed estimates using RS means cost data, other
sources of equipment cost information, project management costs, and
projected related costs. Instructor Biography: John Williams, Ph.D., P.E., has spent more
than 20 years in the process industry. A veteran of Monsanto, Babcock &
Wilcox, and major pharmaceutical manufacturers, he has worked extensively in
project conceptualization and analysis, plant design, process expansions, and
plant retrofits Read recent newsletters from the East
