Title: "Role of Engineering Societies in Developing Gas Turbines for a Better Tomorrow."
Date: Monday 3 June 2002, 3.30 PM to 6 PM
Location: Mini-Auditorium, RAI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Session Description:
Leaders of gas turbine industry and engineering societies will discuss the role of education,
training, and dissemination of knowledge in developing affordable gas turbines for the 21st century.
The industry leaders will talk about the globalization of gas turbine industry, increasing demand
to build affordable and environmentally-friendly gas turbine products with low maintenance costs
for land, sea, and air, and the worldwide shortage of young engineers.
The leaders of the engineering societies will discuss the future education and continuing training
of gas turbine engineers, the impact of computers and the Internet (e-commerce), and cooperation
between engineering societies to better disseminate all types of gas turbine educational, research,
and developmental knowledge.
