Diesel Engine Technology Engineering Academy
Upcoming open enrollment dates being scheduled. Please check back.
SAE International, in a continuing effort to provide options and convenience for professional development and training opportunities, is pleased to offer the 2009 Diesel Engine Technology Engineering Academy at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, TX. This Academy covers the diesel engine engineering principles and practices necessary to effectively understand a modern diesel engine. Types of engines addressed include naturally aspirated, turbocharged, pre-chamber, open chamber, light duty, and heavy duty. It is an intensive learning experience comprised of lecture and structured practical sessions, including a team-solved case study problem. Evening sessions are included. Attendees will receive a copy of the textbook, Diesel Emissions and Their Control, by lead instructor Magdi K. Khair and W. Addy Majewski. Practical Component This Academy includes several practical activities, including a team-solved case study. The SwRI technical tour will include the Petroleum Products Research Department and the Emissions Research and Development test labs.The Petroleum Products Research Department measures the quality and determines regulatory compliance of fuels, automatic transmission fluids, brake fluids, gear lubricants, hydraulic oils, coolant, antifreeze, gasoline and diesel crankcase oils. The Emissions R&D performs development and durability testing for the locomotive, marine, power generation, and gas transmission industries. The group specializes in performing programs that address emissions reduction, efficiency enhancement, and improved durability and reliability.About Southwest Research Institute SwRI, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, is one of the oldest and largest independent, nonprofit, applied research and development organizations in the United States. Founded in 1947, SwRI provides contract research and development services to industrial and government clients. The staff of more than 3,300 specializes in the creation and transfer of technology in engineering and the physical sciences. The Institute occupies more than 1,200 acres in San Antonio and provides nearly 2 million square feet of laboratories, test facilities, workshops and offices. Pre-Academy Activity Prior to the Academy, you will be asked to complete a pre-assessment. Results will be shared with the lead instructor to help customize the learning experience to specific attendee needs. You will also be sent two articles to read prior to the start of the Academy.

Topical Outline
Instructor(s): Magdi Khair, Ewa Bardasz, André Boehman, Bernard Challen, Philip Dingle, Michael Levin, and Helmut Tschöeke
Magdi Khair, Lead Instructor, is an Institute Engineer in the Department of Emissions Research at Southwest Research Institute. He is experienced in the areas of engine testing and exhaust emissions control. His prior experience was with AlliedSignal Automotive Catalyst Company with the development of catalytic aftertreatment for light-duty and heavy-duty diesel engines; Ford New Holland with primary responsibility for the development of the 6.6 and 7.8 liter midrange diesel engines to meet 1991 emissions standards; Bendix Diesel Engine Controls where he led the development of advanced electronically controlled diesel fuel injection systems and also established several cooperative engineering programs with European and North American engine manufacturers; and with Chrysler Corporation where he converted the slant six gasoline engine into an open chamber, pilot injected, and electronically controlled diesel engine, supervised a combustion kinetics project, and participated in the design and development of electronic controls for a passenger car turbine engine. Mr. Khair holds 13 U.S. patents in electronic fuel injection, turbocharging, exhaust gas recirculation, and aftertreatment systems. He has also authored and co-authored numerous SAE and ASME papers. Mr. Khair received a B.S. in Automotive Engineering from Ain Shams University, an M.S. in Thermodynamics from the University of Birmingham, England, and an M.B.A. from Michigan State University. Ewa Bardasz is currently a Principal Scientist at The Lubrizol Corporation. Her work in detailed understanding of lubricant behavior related to corrosion inhibition in petroleum and aqueous systems, structure and performance studies of the metal surface and lubricant interactions, compositions of lubricants for low heat rejection engines, fuel conserving diesel engine lubricants, and lubrication of ceramic surfaces led to numerous technical publications and over 20 patents. She is a member of ACS, SAE, and STLE, Fellow of the Royal Society of Industry and Arts, London, UK and a member of the New York State Academy of Science. Dr. Bardasz received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from The Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio. André Boehman is a Professor of Fuel Science and Materials Science and Engineering in the Department of Energy & Geo-Environmental Engineering in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at the Pennsylvania State University, where he has taught courses on Energy, Fuels, Combustion and the Environment since 1994. At the Penn State Energy Institute, Prof. Boehman manages the Diesel Combustion and Emissions Laboratory. Professor Boehman's research interests are in alternative and reformulated fuels, combustion and pollution control. His present research activities are focused on alternative diesel fuels, diesel combustion and diesel exhaust aftertreatment. He is presently on the Editorial Board of Fuel Processing Technology and holds executive positions with the American Chemical Society Division of Fuel Chemistry and with the International DME Association. He has received the 1999 Alumni Achievement Award from the University of Dayton School of Engineering, the 1999 Matthew and Anne Wilson Award for Outstanding Teaching from the Penn State College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and the Philip L. Walker Jr. Faculty Fellowship in Materials Science and Engineering, from 1995-97. He also received the 1986 Charles T. Main Bronze Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He has supervised seventeen M.S. theses and five doctoral theses at Penn State, and he has published more than 36 refereed papers and book chapters. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Dayton (1986) and an M.S. (1987) and Ph.D. (1993) in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. He held a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in the Molecular Physics Laboratory at SRI International, Menlo Park, California. Bernard Challen is an independent engineering consultant, active mainly in the automotive industry. His technical areas of interest cover electronics and control, instrumentation, the use of computer-aided engineering tools, and vehicle noise & vibration. Until 1991, he was Technical Director at Ricardo Consulting Engineers where one of his responsibilities was the formation of Ricardo North America. His technical responsibilities within Ricardo covered noise and vibration, instrumentation and control, large engines and the business development of Ricardo in North America. Mr. Challen earned a B.Sc.(Eng.) in Mechanical Engineering and M.Sc. Noise and Vibration, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, from Southampton University.
