Event Schedule

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT (9:00 AM– 10:00 AM PDT)

New Standards Address Counterfeit Parts, Vehicle Health
New technical standards from SAE International are helping vehicle manufacturers and operators realize great success in two critical areas. One area of concern is the current proliferation of counterfeit parts in the supply chain. The other involves vehicle health management; specifically, the development of integrated systems for monitoring all aspects of vehicle health, including structural, propulsion, and electronics.
Presented by Bruce Mahone, director, Washington Operations, SAE International and David Alexander, manager, SAE Aerospace Standards Europe, SAE International

1:00 PM– 2:00 PM EDT (10:00 AM– 11:00 AM PDT)

Benefits of Multidisciplinary Model-Based Design
Integrated multidisciplinary systems outperform legacy systems, but they are more complex, requiring close cooperation among multiple design disciplines. This presentation addresses the importance of modeling – physical and mathematical – in the multidisciplinary engineering system design process.
Presented by Kevin Craig, Robert C. Greenheck Chair in Engineering Design and professor of mechanical engineering, College of Engineering, Marquette University

2:00 PM– 3:00 PM EDT (11:00 AM– 12:00 PM PDT)

A New Class of Antenna for Airline Passengers
A new class of antenna technology promises to bring high-speed Internet connectivity to previously underserved land, sea, and airborne locations via satellite. This new antenna technology, combined with the proliferation of "high-throughput" satellites around the globe, will dramatically improve the user connectivity experience on airlines.
Presented by Nathan Kundtz, CTO, Kymeta Corporation, Kymeta

3:00 PM– 4:00 PM EDT (12:00 PM– 1:00 PM PDT)
