The lectures , discussion sessions and exhibition tours are specifically targeted to help train and develop the next generation of valve engineers . After the success of the last Young Engineers Program , discussions and developments are in the works to expand this program to a larger number of young and starter engineers , creating a broader community to further ideas and innovations .
