ABSTRACT This document describes how to maximize the human potential/capital of your system or business by developing a Corporate Awareness. It explains and defines how Leadership, Leadership Process and human potential interrelate. It next focuses on the relation between Leadership Process and corporate culture, giving suggestions on how to develop a Corporate Self Awareness, leading to the ability to control corporate culture, in a manner that maximizes the human potential of the system/business. Next there is a discussion of solutions based on mathematical formulas and algorithms that can be implemented to define and measure Leadership Process using modern free source IT tools. Finally, this paper will provide support for aligning system/business mission/products with the Leadership Process so that Leadership maximizes the system/business human potential. It will suggest that modern IT tools be implemented as part of the solution and provide the concept of BWIKI as a solution
ABSTRACT The IGVC offers a design experience that is at the very cutting edge of engineering education. It is multidisciplinary, theory-based, hands-on, team implemented, outcome assessed, and based on product realization. It encompasses the very latest technologies impacting industrial development and taps subjects of high interest to students. Design and construction of an Intelligent Vehicle fits well in a two semester senior year design capstone course, or an extracurricular activity earning design credit. The deadline of an end-of-term competition is a real-world constraint that includes the excitement of potential winning recognition and financial gain. Students at all levels of undergraduate and graduate education can contribute to the team effort, and those at the lower levels benefit greatly from the experience and mentoring of those at higher levels. Team organization and leadership are practiced, and there are even roles for team members from business and engineering
Walking around the SAE WCX conference in Detroit this April and reading through the topic listings for the hundreds of sessions and thousands of presentations, I remembered why I enjoyed this conference so much. I used to attend as a reporter for other outlets, but I haven't been back to WCX since before the pandemic. It was different to walk the halls as editor of this magazine. What happens at WCX - and at dozens of mobility and transportation conferences around the world - is fascinating. I would bet big money that our readers agree. Still, sometimes it's difficult to translate the deeply technical work that makes up our days into something that piques the interest of those who don't spend inordinate amounts of time thinking about the “future of mobility
AI top of mind at SAE's annual technical mobility conference. The never-ending task of wrapping one's head around the auto industry continues at SAE's annual WCX technical mobility event in Detroit in April. A series of keynotes will discuss the growing impact of generative AI on the auto industry, why automotive workers have reason to see the upside of working alongside AI and how drivers will interact with AI in their nextgen vehicles. Jeremiah Golston, senior vice president and head of Automotive Engineering at Qualcomm, said he foresees heavy interest in generative artificial intelligence at WCX 2024
A stretchable system that can harvest energy from human breathing and motion for use in wearable health-monitoring devices may be possible, according to an international team of researchers, led by Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, the Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Professor in Penn State’s department of engineering science and mechanics. The research team, with members from Penn State and Minjiang University and Nanjing University, both in China, recently published its results in Nano Energy
By looking into the vehicle-infrastructure cooperation (VIC) which is oriented towards intelligent, networked and integrated development, this paper analyzes and proposes the essence and development direction of Intelligent Vehicle Infrastructure Cooperation Systems (I-VICS). With an in-depth analysis of technologies of core importance to VIC and influence factors that constrain VIC development as a whole, the paper comes up with a technological route for VIC, and identifies a direction for vehicle-infrastructure cooperative development that progresses from primary to intermediate cooperation, then to advanced cooperation, and finally to full-fledged cooperation. Policy recommendations aiming at strengthening top-level design, building an integrated vehicle-infrastructure-cloud platform, expediting independence of key techs, building robust standards and regulations for VIC, enhancing workforce development as well as greater efforts at market promotion are put forward
As technology continues to evolve at a faster pace than ever, the automotive industry is discovering new ways to become adaptive and resilient. From mass deployment of electric vehicles and developmental timelines for autonomous vehicles to understating of global supply chain constraints impacting the automotive industry, mobility’s biggest hurdles are driving the engineering community to push the boundaries of innovation and find creative solutions. SAE’s WCX: World Congress Experience, being held from April 5-7, in Detroit, MI, will provide the community the opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate on the biggest issues facing the industry to continue the technological advancements sweeping the mobility industry
This Standard covers Manpower and Personnel (M&P) processes throughout planning, design, development, test, production, use, and disposal of a system. Depending on contract phase and/or complexity of the program, tailoring can be applied. The scope of this standard includes Prime and Sub-contractor M&P activities; it does not include Government M&P activities. The primary goals of a contractor M&P program typically include: Ensuring that the system design complies with the latest customer manpower estimates (numbers and mix of personnel, plus availability) and that discrepancies are reported to management and the customer. Ensuring that the system design is regularly compared to the latest customer Personnel estimates (capabilities and limitations) and that discrepancies are reported to management and the customer. Identifying, coordinating, tracking, and resolving M&P risks and issues and ensuring that they are: ○ Reflected in the contractor proposal, budgets, and plans. ○ Raised at
Meet Paul Mascarenas-SAE International's 2019 president. He's a staunch advocate for professional development for engineers, amid the mobility industry's transformation. Perhaps it's not surprising that someone who joined a professional engineering society at age 16 would eventually lead one. And so, Paul Mascarenas seems an ideal fit as SAE International's 2019 president. It's been more than 30 years since he joined the Institution of Mechanical Engineers as a student in his native Britain. Since then, Mascarenas has distinguished himself in many industry-leadership roles, including chief technical officer at Ford Motor Co. from 2011 to 2014
Integrated controls for commercial dynamometers do not have appropriate characteristics to perform research and teaching tasks. These are developed to perform quick tests and its logic is prepared to obtaining the information in accordance with the technical standards. This way, the use for research is hindered because it does not have an interface that allows a refinement to the desired data ranges, t data sampling and the type of load that is applied. Its use for teaching is limited because these "standard" controls does not allow to analyze or to determine engines characteristics that are not covered through tests specified by the standards, so the use of this tool as an important part in professional training formed by the institution. The development of a system control to the electromagnetic brake and capture of torque and rotation data will allow better use of dynamometers for research and teaching, providing to the students the knowledge of the control system itself and data
There has probably never been such a demand for professionally qualified engineers, and yet both the number and diversity of people entering the profession continue to decline. Worldwide, there are very many initiatives - some generally encouraging interest in the profession, and others targeting specific audiences. The reports speak of local success, but the overall picture remains discouraging. In this paper we focus on the “pipeline” from primary education through to the transition from graduate engineer into an experienced member of engineering staff. We have based the discussion on both the presentations and comments made during a panel discussion held at the 2013 SAE International Congress. The paper is intended as a summary of the points raised during that discussion and, we hope proves to be starting point for further investigation and analysis. Of particular note is the sheer diversity of initiatives, and the pressing need for role models and mentoring. The experience of
