Developed to provide an in depth and "hands on" approach to covering the
engineering principles and practices necessary to effectively understand a
modern diesel engine, the Diesel
Engine Technology Academy taking place June 6-10, is five days of
intensive training comprised of lecture, demonstration, structured
practical sessions, and case problems. Types of engines addressed include
naturally aspirated, turbocharged, pre-chamber, open chamber, light duty,
and heavy duty. Register today!

A unique forum hosted by SAE International will bring together high-level,
management, business, and technology leaders from around the world to
discuss and address the challenges that will face the North American
automotive powertrain market through the next decade. The
North American International Powertrain Conference: The Next Decade
taking place September 7-9, 2005 in Toronto, Canada, will focus on key
drivers impacting consumers and legislation, technology, energy, and global
producers. Register by August 19 and save $100!

Automotive and race engineers are forced to rely on experience as well as
trial and error methods when trying to get the most from their vehicles,
including the pneumatic tire which is extremely complex and not well
understood. The NEW seminar, Tires
and Handling for Racing and High Performance Vehicles explores how a
car gets around a corner, rubber friction, tire behavior, and basic vehicle
dynamics. While the information presented explains tire technology and
vehicle dynamics in general, the seminar uses racing and high performance
settings to illustrate the major points. Register Today! Next offering:

Noise
-
Providing a broad introduction to the instruments and facilities used to
measure noise and vibration, the Noise
and Vibration Measurement: Instruments and Facilities seminar
emphasizes the proper selection of transducers, calibration, limitations of
instruments and choice of analyzers to support the project objectives. Next
offering: May 24
Electronics
-
Safety concerns, potential operating cost reductions, better sensor
availability, and steady information processing improvements are

The interactive, technical learning event, Digital
Human Modeling for Design and Engineering (DHM), will be taking place
this year in Iowa City, Iowa, June 14-16. This event provides an
international forum for the exchange of new and significant technical
information, focusing on the latest applications, research, and
developments of digital human models and their use. This year's program
will feature a new panel discussion titled "Digital Human Modeling Research
and Development Needs". Register by May 27 and save!

More than simply the study of dimensional relationships in assemblies,
tolerance stacks are the key to creating robust, efficient and successful
designs. Tolerance
Stacks: A Self-Study Course is a full-featured, fully interactive
training course where you'll spend some time reading, but most of your time
doing! Skills with stacks separate the exceptional engineers from the
rest!
Safety/Testing

The Current
Issues in Using Crash Injury Data seminar "sheds new light" on present
developments and covers how to objectively evaluate and use crash injury
data as an important resource in research, engineering and other areas.
This one-day seminar focuses on the use and interrelationships of crash
injury data from diverse sources including the National Accident Sampling
System and its component parts, the Fatal Accident Reporting System. Next

Tire
and wheel fusion
An airless tire under development may eventually obsolete conventional
air-filled tires. While Michelin researchers are still years away from
offering a production-ready non-pneumatic tire with integrated wheel for
passenger vehicles, the unique construction of the tire-wheel combination -
dubbed Tweel - represents a mobility milestone.
