Engineers and technicians must be trained
Leading UK engineering and technology firms, with a combined multi-million pound spend on training and development, will assemble at the IEE 'Investing in Technical Teams' forum on 4 November 2004.
Workshop gives complete picture on CE.NET 5.0
A UK-based workshop will give embedded software development engineers hands-on experience in running the new 5.0 release of Windows CE.NET on next generation processors.
This year's conference will be concentrating on the new Automotive EMC Directive that comes into force on 1st July 2006, and it is the last chance for those involved in the automotive EMC industry, whether designers of automotive electronics or test service providers, to get information on the changes before they become law.
Presentations on the new directive will cover the component suppliers' impact and how the changes may affect design, how the new directive will impact vehicle manufacturers, a close look at the new brake cycle test plus the opportunity to quiz the UK's Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) on the changes and their implementation.
There are also papers on other aspects of automotive EMC outside of the new directive, including designing for high field immunity, testing for load dump, the requirements for UK emergency vehicles, a generic standard for suppliers and simulation methods for shielded cables and pulsed field testing for automotive radar.
This year's keynote speaker, Etienne Sicard, starts the conference by discussing the design requirements for integrated circuits to meet automotive demands for EMC.
The proceedings for the conference will also contain a wealth of support information, including the new and old directives, the York Report which provided the background work to the new directive and the VCA guidelines are also hoped to be included (this will be the first time these are available).
Other documents on the PITO test standard and the "Speedometer handbook" will also be in the proceedings.
The full programme and booking details are available online at the Automotive EMC Network website.
