📈 Exciting news from Singapore! Paul Turnbull, acting as Purchaser’s Marine Representative, is playing a vital role in the SEA-ME-WE-6 project. Paul is on-site near Tuas observing and meticulously documenting survey operations, ensuring all data collection adheres to the highest standards. His focus on infill and re-runs of Side Scan Sonar (SSS) and Magnetometer (MAG) data will contribute significantly to the final, high-quality product delivered to the client. As always, we’ve also been looking out for important industry stories from the past week: 🤝 The Global Underwater Hub, ECITB and STEM Returners have launched a new program to help experienced professionals return to careers in the subsea industry after a break. This is great news for those looking to re-enter the workforce and for companies looking to address the skills gap. The program offers participants a 12-week paid work placement with the possibility of a permanent role. STEM Returners will also provide career coaching and mentoring to help participants adjust to life back at work. This is a fantastic opportunity for those with a background in subsea controls engineering or electrical engineering to restart their careers or transfer their skills into a new industry. 💨 The design for the world's first wind-powered roll-on/roll-off vessel has been finalized. The Oceanbird vessel will use six wing sails to harness the power of the wind, reducing emissions by up to 90%. The first vessel to be built will be a retrofit of an existing ship, the Tirranna. Construction is expected to begin in 2025. This is a major development in the shipping industry and could help to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. ⚠️ The source of an oil sheen off the coast of California has not yet been identified. Clean-up crews have recovered around 85 gallons of oil and 1,050 pounds of oily waste/sand and tar balls from the shoreline. Laboratory results show that the oil is lightly weathered crude oil, not a refined product. This suggests that the oil is local and not imported. However, the samples do not match any archived samples from oil platforms in the area. The Coast Guard is continuing to investigate the source of the oil sheen.

For all students in their last semesters and recent graduates, this is great news for the Colombian profile STEM careers #recentgraduades #students #engineer #entrylevel #science #technology #engineering #mathematics

Absolutely agree!  Fresh from school, the temptation to absorb everything in sight to catch up with the industry is real.  However, this scattergun approach often leads to shallow knowledge.  Settling on one particular skill allows you to dive deep and build mastery. Your technical abilities and skills are indeed your superpower, and focusing on a niche not only hones that power but also sets you apart in the industry. Prioritizing quality over quantity and mastering one skill at a time ensures you become known for being great at something.

#INTERNSHIP RECAP Hello #connections, During my industrial training, I gained two crucial insights for the petrochemical industry that I believe are invaluable. 1. Steam Networking: I had the opportunity to learn from a process engineer about steam networking, encompassing steam generation, distribution, condensate recovery, and pressure management. Steam networking is vital in petrochemical plants because it ensures efficient energy utilization, optimizes process performance, and enhances overall plant safety. Understanding steam networking is fundamental since steam is a primary energy carrier in many petrochemical processes, playing a critical role in heating, driving turbines, and facilitating chemical reactions. 2. Steam Turbine Operations: I also attended training on steam turbines, specifically the double extraction and condensing steam turbine used in our plant. I was fortunate to witness the turbine firsthand, especially during a shutdown period when it was opened for maintenance due to a problem. This rare experience allowed me to see the turbine's interior and understand how it generates energy using superheated steam. The training emphasized safety practices to maintain the turbine's condition. Additionally, I learned about the gearbox that reduces the turbine's RPM to synchronize with Tenaga Nasional Berhad’s grid. These experiences were incredibly valuable as they provided me with hands-on knowledge of steam networking and turbine operations, which are not only essential for efficient plant operations but also rare opportunities for many. I am grateful for this exposure and excited to apply this knowledge in my future career. #PetrochemicalIndustry #InternshipExperience #SteamNetworking #SteamTurbine #IndustrialTraining

Contrary to common perception, the role of an Engineering Technologist is as important as that of Engineers, each with their own strengths. "As far as Malaysia is concerned, the Engineering technologist and Engineers are equal". While Engineers pioneer innovation with visionary concepts, Engineering Technologists play a pivotal role in translating those ideas into reality with hands-on expertise and technical finesse. Very informative session by Ts. Ir. Ricky Liew CL organized by Malaysian Association of Engineers (MAE). Link to the video session: https://lnkd.in/dA2mmZBF

Nice post about engineering for those who are thinking to start a terrific journey.
