Vehicle cybersecurity vulnerabilities could impact a vehicle's safe operation. Therefore, engineers should ensure that systems are designed free of unreasonable risks to motor vehicle safety, including those that may result due to existence of potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The automotive industry is making vehicle cybersecurity an organizational priority.

This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese. The course materials are bilingual (English and Chinese). The course directly addresses improved aircraft system design tools and processes, which, when implemented will significantly contribute to simpler, lower cost and even safer airplanes that meet customer quality demands. Adding value to the high-leveraged area of design (reducing design by involving manufacturing) — which is what this course does — can start to reverse the current trend (overrun and long delay) and help aircraft companies be more profitable.
This course is verified by Probitas Authentication as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for continuing Professional Development.

The aerospace industry is focused on fostering a positive safety culture and competency in Human Factors considerations supports competencies crucial to an organization's quality management and safety. Many standards include requirements for embedding Human Factors within the aerospace manufacturing and supply chains. This course introduces the skills and knowledge supporting compliance and capability in human performance. This course provides an overview of Human Factors management in aviation and clarifies what individuals and companies can do to optimize the effects of Human Factors within their organization.
The aerospace industry is hinged around compliance with Part 21; however, comprehension of Part 21 and its role in civil certification is challenging. This course is designed to provide participants with an understanding of the processes that encompass aircraft certification, including compliance with FARs, certification procedures and post certification responsibilities. It is also intended to introduce participants to the many regulatory issues upon which companies make business decisions that can be derailed by failing to see the part 21 implications.
This course is verified by Probitas Authentication as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for continuing Professional Development. Aerospace manufacturers seek to improve quality, efficiency, cost, and delivery of their products. The best way to scale production and keep your processes on track is using APQP and PPAP tools in product development. AS9145 standardizes the requirements for the Product Development Process (PDP) with these tools, and now the AESQ has also established and deployed the AS13100 Standard for engine suppliers which addresses how to apply the tools to their work.
A gerotor pump is a positive displacement pump consisting of inner and outer rotors, with axis of inner rotor offset from axis of outer rotor. Both rotors rotate about their respective axes. The volume between the rotors changes dynamically, due to which suction and compression occurs. A gerotor pump may be subject to erosion due to cavitation. This paper details about the CFD methodology that has been used to capture cavitation bubbles which might form during the operation of gerotor pump. A full scale (3D) transient CFD model for gerotor pump has been developed using commercial CFD code ANSYS FLUENT. The most challenging part of this CFD flow modeling is to create a dynamic volume mesh that perfectly represents the dynamically changing rotor fluid volume of the gerotor pump. Two different approaches have been used to model this dynamic mesh analysis in the Ansys Fluent tool - one method by using the traditional UDF script and, another method by using Python automation script.
Due to their remarkable efficiency and efficacy, chevrons have emerged as a prominent subject of investigation within the Aviation Industry, primarily aimed at mitigating aircraft noise levels and achieving a quieter airborne experience. Extensive research has identified the engine as the primary source of noise in aircraft, prompting the implementation of chevrons within the engine nozzle. These chevrons function by inducing streamwise vortices into the shear layer, thereby augmenting the mixing process and resulting in a noteworthy reduction of low-frequency noise emissions. Our paper aims to conduct a comparative computational analysis encompassing seven distinct chevron designs and a design without chevrons. The size and configuration of the chevrons with the jet engine nacelle were designed to match the nozzle diameter of 100.48mm and 56.76mm, utilizing the advanced SolidWorks CAD modeling software.
Software certification guidelines, such as RTCA DO-178C, mandate the analysis of data and control coupling (DC/CC) in safety-critical avionics software using requirement-based testing. The intention of this analysis is to ensure correctness in the interactions and dependencies between software components. The shift from confirming the coupling (as in DO-178B) to verifying the exercising of the coupling (as introduced in DO-178C) transitions the DC/CC objective from an analytical exercise against the test design to a measurement exercise against the test execution. Current methodologies for measuring Data Coupling and Control Coupling (DC/CC) rely on source code instrumentation, which embeds code to record coverage information during requirements-based testing. However, this approach has significant drawbacks. Primarily, it necessitates executing tests on both the instrumented and non-instrumented versions of the code, ensuring their outputs match.
