Aerospace System Integration & Testing -- Pushing the Limits

Описание: http://www.techgig.com/expert-speak/A...

Testing Aerospace products is not a new concept. However, the advances in technology over the past 50 years have caused a virtual revolution in the way products are tested. What used to be a marriage of mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines, has evolved to include the disciplines of control theory and computer science, allowing a complete "systems engineering" approach.

In the early days, Aerospace testing focused primarily on the structural integrity of mechanical designs for aircraft. Over the years, aerospace systems have grown to include sophisticated electronics and software that control very complex systems for aviation and space applications. As a result, the corresponding test systems have grown much more sophisticated and complex.

Engineers with an interest in Aerospace System Integration, Test System Design & Testing typically come from Mechanical or Electrical Engineering disciplines. The common thread is their ability to evaluate the test equipment and test unit as a unified system. This discussion will explore what employers look for, both in university subjects and the other skills that the engineer brings to the job. We'll also discuss some practical steps for launching a successful Aerospace career.
