How practice is built into learning
Each stage asks more of the learner than the one before. The first two happen inside every course; the last three are where MALYOMAR differs from a lecture-only provider.
Course
Learn the principle, the code clause and why it exists. Live with an instructor who applies it at work.
You can explain the rule.
Exercise
Solve a bounded problem with one right answer: a wall thickness, a support span, a flexibility check.
You can apply the rule.
Workshop
Work in a team on a full unit with incomplete information, deadlines and other disciplines' constraints.
You can combine rules.
Simulation
Face a scenario that reacts to your choices, from a game in the Playground to a reviewed 3D model.
You see the consequence.
Engineering decision
Choose between acceptable options, defend the trade-off to reviewers and sign off the deliverable.
You can be responsible for it.
The eight sessions
The sessions follow the real order of a layout project, from basis of design to model review and handover.
Advisors in the room
Process
Holds the P&IDs and process flow data, and rules on what the layout must not change.
Stress
Sets displacement and nozzle-load limits the routing has to respect.
Mechanical
Speaks for the equipment: nozzles, loads and maintenance access.
Structural
Owns the pipe rack and supports, and flags clashes and load requirements.

Courses that prepare you for the workshop
The workshop expects an intermediate piping design course and a working knowledge of pipe stress analysis to ASME B31.3. These courses cover that ground.
See the Plant Layout Engineer path for the recommended order.
Delivery formats
How you learn is a separate choice from what you learn. The same course can run in more than one format; each session in the schedule states which.
Live virtual classroom
AvailableInstructor-led sessions online, held live on the learning platform. Most public sessions, including the ASME authorized programs, run this way.
Suits individuals and teams spread across sites or countries.
In-person classroom
AvailableThe instructor and the group in one room, at a training venue for public sessions or at the client's site for corporate ones.
Suits corporate teams and courses with heavy group discussion.
Workshops
AvailableApplied, practice-oriented sessions built around a project. Participants work in teams and produce deliverables that are reviewed.
Suits engineers who already know the theory and need judgment.
Engineering simulation
GrowingScenarios that respond to the learner's choices. Today this is the Engineer's Playground, with six active games built on ASME B31.3, and model reviews inside workshops.
Webinars and seminars
OccasionalShort technical sessions on one topic, usually one to two hours and often free. A way to meet an instructor before committing to a course.
Digital and on-demand
LimitedMaterial you can use at any time. At present that means Engineer's Playbook episodes and webinar recordings. Courses are not offered as self-paced unless their page says so.
