Transitioning to a Career in Designing Water Systems

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on transitioning from a maintenance engineering role to a career in designing water systems, specifically focusing on pump selection and hydraulic design. The individual has a background in mechanical elements, including gear trains and hydraulic circuits, and possesses knowledge of centrifugal pumps, pipelines, and fluid mechanics. Recommendations include pursuing upgrade courses or seminars in hydraulics and gaining practical experience by collaborating with senior professionals in the field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of centrifugal pumps and their applications
  • Knowledge of fluid mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with pipeline design and specifications
  • Basic concepts of hydraulics and hydraulic systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Enroll in advanced hydraulics courses to deepen knowledge
  • Participate in seminars focused on water system design
  • Gain hands-on experience by shadowing experienced water system designers
  • Research industry standards and best practices for pump selection
USEFUL FOR

Engineers transitioning to water system design, professionals seeking to enhance their hydraulics knowledge, and anyone involved in the selection and design of water systems and pumps.

how to ?

i am a maintenance engineer dealling with many mechanical elements specially in power transmission like gear trains and many gear boxes and hydraulic circuits
but i have left my career to another one that will make me workin in the design of water systems and pump sellection ,
so my question is
how to become profissonal in designing water systems
i have my information about centrifugal pumps , pipe lines , and fluid mechanics as well but how can i make the link betweeen my education and my work ??

I would think that you are already academically qualified. Maybe a couple of upgrade courses or seminars in hydraulics? Aside from that, learn by experience with senior workers.
(And I didn't ignore the fact that hydraulics are part of your current position, but maybe something less 'oil-based' will be helpful.)
