SAE Technology Series Webinars—Engine Technology Webinar Series

New! Displacement on Demand Systems (DoD) Webinar
This webinar focuses on the significance, technology and application of Displacement on Demand (DoD) Systems in automotive applications. It will cover the theoretical improvements to engine system performance and efficiency, the historical mechanisms to implement DoD systems, the modern approach to DoD systems, and the practical results. If you have a practical understanding of internal combustion technology and systems, you will gain an appreciation for the DoD System -- its application to the automotive marketplace and its significance as it applies to improvements in all facets of an automotive powertrain.

New! Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Webinar
Participants with a practical understanding of internal combustion technology and systems will gain an appreciation for HCCI and its application to the automotive marketplace. This webinar will expose you to the emerging technologies in HCCI design and operation that can significantly improve operational efficiencies. The fundamental science and implementation technology of the various HCCI systems will be presented. You will learn how the Engine Control Module (ECM) uses information related to the operational status to implement real-time running efficiency of the engine and how the ECM affects changes in the operation of the engine through the control systems that manage its operation. With this understanding, you will be able to derive your own set of improvement criteria that could be made to address the limitations of current engine technology.

New! Variable Cam and Valve Timing (VCT) & (VVT) Webinar
This webinar will discuss the general theory and potential system benefit of varying valve timing and compare the differences between Variable Cam Timing (VCT) and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). It will cover the historical mechanisms to implement VCT and VVT systems, compared to the modern approaches. If you have a practical understanding of internal combustion technology and systems, you will gain an appreciation for VCT and VVT - its application to the automotive marketplace and its significance as it applies to improvements in the engine and overall powertrain operations.

New! Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) Webinar
Participants with a practical understanding of internal combustion technology and systems will gain an appreciation for VCR and its application to the automotive marketplace. This webinar will expose you to the emerging technologies in VCR operation that can significantly improve operational efficiencies. The fundamental science and implementation technology of the Variable Compression Ratio and Direct Injection will be presented. You will learn how the Engine Control Module (ECM) uses information related to the operational status to implement real-time running efficiency of the engine and how the ECM affects changes in the operation of the engine through the control systems that manage its operation. With this understanding, you will be able to derive your own set of improvement criteria that could be made to address the limitations of current engine technology.
