The SAE Diesel Engine Technology e-Seminar, featuring Instructor Magdi Khair, provides new OEM recruits and diesel engine component suppliers with a fundamental knowledge of the diesel engine. The ten hour, 20 minute course is divided into ten modules. After a short but thorough introduction of the diesel combustion cycle, the instructor examines the importance of the fuel injection system, turbocharging, intercooling, and many other aspects of engine design. Formation of each of the regulated emissions species, as well as design changes to control these emissions, is explained. Details of emission control design changes and some sample cases are quantified through the use of actual examples. An overview of developing technologies for the future with a comprehensive section on exhaust aftertreatment is also included.

About the Instructor: Magdi Khair
Magdi Khair 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, an M.B.A. from Michigan State University.

Is this e-Seminar for You?
If you are involved in diesel engine support industries such as catalytic converters, lube oils, gaskets, and turbochargers, and if you are not well versed with diesel engines although they play a major role in your career's survival, this e-Seminar is for you.

About e-Seminars
SAE now offers "e-Seminars," or electronically delivered seminars, specifically on CD-ROM featuring full-motion video illustrated with synchronized presentation slides. e-Seminars are based on some of SAE's most highly attended and rated classroom seminars.

Convenient & Portable Learning
Convenient, portable, and with core content not reliant on live web connectivity, the program offers a new way to receive the same instruction as live classroom learning without the expense of travel and time away from the workplace. Preceded by a self-quiz, the content is presented in ten modular topics that allow students to progress through the course at their own pace. The program interface offers linear progression through the video as well as the flexibility to pause or review specific concepts and to jump to individual slides from the table of contents. A handout accompanies the CD to complete a ready-reference package available whenever and wherever a refresher is needed. Upon conclusion of the course, learners take an online post-test to gauge new knowledge, receive CEUs (1.1), and obtain an SAE certificate of achievement .
