 Hello everyone, this is Sayed Faisi early and I am a practicing civil instructor design engineer Currently I am based in UK, I did my graduation from Tamil Nadu and New Delhi and my post graduation from Aligamo University And after that I worked for 12 years in India and since then I am travelling abroad working in different part of the world And now settled since last 9 years in UK working in oil and gas industry as a civil instructor design engineer Last December I finished my project and then I was thinking to enhance my knowledge database And suddenly I started looking for some offshore design course which I haven't done in past So I thought I will enhance my knowledge database because offshore design is also very challenging and very dynamic in nature Interesting design module so I looked for this course on the web and then found that NPTEL in collaboration with Ministry of Human Resources Development Certification course for my IT which is a very unique idea and I immediately get attracted to it Because this is not done in any part of the world, I have been travelling in any part of the world and enhancing your knowledge is very costly affair So this is the unique way our NPTEL and HRD Ministry has designed this module and an idea to enhance knowledge database of our young engineers and young professionals I really appreciate Dr. Shin Washington and Dr. Sheikranath for designing the whole module in a very efficient manner It starts from a very basic design and offshore structure history and from very basic dynamic analysis Slowly advances to advanced design and latest research and lot of study material we provided reference so that we can go through and enhance our knowledge The whole assignment module was very well designed and there was enough time given to complete and submit the assignment without disturbing your personal commitment of family and jobs So it's a really unique way and you can run and upgrade your knowledge with all your day to day activities without affecting anybody along yourself I am very benefited from this course and hopefully this will help me in bettering my job prospects also And I would request to all my graduate engineers, fellow engineers and practicing engineers and other professionals to avail this unique opportunity Which is available only in India and not anywhere in the world to enhance your knowledge and show the world that we are the people of highly skilled knowledge database And we can shape the world better with our skills and knowledge database I would again like to thanks NPTEL, Nishita Fachari and Dr. Shin Washington for putting so much effort to enhance my knowledge and the knowledge of various other professionals Thanks a lot and best wishes
