Program Purpose
Understanding engineering is becoming more essential than ever—whether you work in operations, management, project coordination, environmental compliance, or any role that requires you to collaborate with technical teams. Translating Technical Information is designed to demystify engineering principles and equip non-engineers with the knowledge and confidence to communicate effectively across disciplines. Engineers attending the program will also strengthen their ability to translate complex concepts for broader audiences.
Through interactive sessions, real-world case studies, and guided problem-solving activities, participants gain a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals and learn how engineering decisions influence systems, processes, safety, and sustainability.
