I've studied it academically all the way up to degree, and post graduate level. I have travelled the far reaches of the globe and seen and assessed 1000's of machines in all different industries. I have consulted on the design following directives, regulations and standards on multimillion pound projects, and I still haven't learned everything there is to know.
