Engineering must be creative, and a Matter of Art
It is our deep conviction that engineering is a truly creative profession. Unlike other subjects, which may be taught in a descriptive and analytical way, the engineering profession will lose its very nature, if creativity is suppressed in the learning process. Consequently, engineering must be learned like a creative profession similar to the arts, architecture, and even master craftsmanship. However, typical engineering education, whether at technical schools or universities consists of training basic analytical thinking and the acquisition of a myriad of facts to develop the necessary broad knowledge base. Although this part is essential, it should not be understood as the very essence of shaping future engineers.
Our training curriculum will focus on teaching the art of engineering in process development and plant design in a well-designed training environment – our “process engineering atelier”. As creativity cannot simply be taught in a classroom-setting, but should be practiced over and over again, we have tailored both training methods and a professional work-shop environment with the latest versions of world-class software tools.
