Event Description
The University of Bath’s Faculty of Engineering is offering a new CPD course: CRYO – Cryogenic Engineering for Sustainable Flight. This three-day CPD course, developed in partnership with GKN Aerospace, is a detailed introduction to cryogenic engineering, with a focus on sustainable aviation. The course is scheduled from the 20th to the 22nd of January 2026.
Design as an introductory programme, CRYO is ideal for professional engineers, graduates, technicians, managers, and supervisory staff who are new to cryogenic systems. The course provides a comprehensive foundation in cryogenic engineering, with a particular focus on its applications in sustainable aviation.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Understand the principles of cryogenic engineering
- Know how different materials react to cryogenic temperatures
- Understand super-conductivity
- Appreciate the challenges to reach and maintain cryogenic temperatures
- Be able to roughly size and select components for cryogenic systems
- Be aware of the fundamental health and safety rules
The course will be delivered by experienced industry professionals and academic experts, with guest speakers contributing specialist insights. There is no formal assessment, but participants must attend all sessions and engage in practical exercises to receive a Certificate of Competence.
At present, the course fee is still being finalised. However, we are accepting expressions of interest and can reserve places for those who contact ptmc@bath.ac.uk.
