SAE International announces a pilot program in partnership with MicroTek that will offer professional development courses via virtual training rooms, accessible all over the world.

For the pilot program, three SAE International instructors will present a course at a MicroTek facility in El Segundo, Calif. combining both in-class and remote participants. Virtual students will have the ability to both interact with the instructor and fellow in-class students as if they were physically in the classroom.

SAE pilot courses include:
 

• C1603 - Introduction to Highly Automated Vehicles – July 23-24
• C1410 - Introduction to DO-178C – Oct. 16-17, 2018
• C1703 - Applying DO-254 for Avionics Hardware Development and Certification –Oct. 18-19, 2018
• C1701 - FAA Part 21 Certification Procedures for Products and Parts – Nov. 12-13 
• C1707 - FAA Certification, Operations and Maintenance Orientation – Nov. 14-16
