Starting Thursday (Sept. 10), short courses, lectures, tutorials and case studies can be submitted for the first Middle East Turbomachinery Symposium (METS). The deadline for submissions is Feb. 1, 2010.
METS is being organized by the Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M University along with the Society of Petroleum Engineers and Texas A&M University at Qatar.
This symposium is closely modeled after the turbomachinery symposia that have been held in Texas since 1971. Through feature lectures, tutorials, case studies, discussion groups, short courses and exhibits, METS will promote professional development, technology transfer, peer networking and information exchange among industry professionals.
METS will be held at the Sheraton Resort and Convention Hotel Doha, Qatar, between Feb. 13 and 16, 2011.
For more information, visit Middle East Turbo or contact Dr. Dara W. Childs, director of the Turbomachinery Laboratory and chair of the METS Technical Advisory Committee.
The Turbomachinery Laboratory conducts basic and applied research into important problems of reliability and performance of turbomachinery by drawing on world-renowned research expertise of Texas A&M’s Dwight Look College of Engineering and the Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES). TEES is the engineering research agency of the State of Texas and a member of The Texas A&M University System.
