Partnership for Simulation Training Center in the UK

BALTIMORE—March 22, 2006—GSE Systems Inc, a provider of training simulators and educational solutions to the power, process, manufacturing and government sectors, has agreed to develop a simulation training and diagnostic center in concert with the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK.

In its engineering department, Strathclyde is developing advanced plant and equipment diagnostic systems and technology in conjunction with electric power companies, according to a statement from GSE Systems.

Goals of the collaboration are as follows:

• Develop a for-profit simulation training center in Glasgow where workers can be trained to operate and maintain power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants and other industrial facilities. GSE will supply the simulators.
• Combine GSE's plant computer models with Strathclyde's advanced diagnostic technology to develop a plant and equipment diagnostic center where actual plant process points are monitored and analyzed.
• From its Simulation Center in Glasgow, market, build and service full-scope, real-time training simulators for the UK market.

“The center will integrate best-in-class training programs with real-time high-fidelity plant simulators,” said John V. Moran, GSE chief executive, in the statement. “Individuals that complete the program will be immediately deployable to industrial facilities in the UK and Europe.”
