The Ultimate Directory on Engineering Webinars

Payloads are at the center of every space mission. A satellite’s main goal for observation missions is to collect and transmit data. In this webinar, we will discuss how the mission affects the choice of payload(s). We will discuss electro-optical, infrared, and radar systems in the context of wildfire detection and observation missions. After selecting the right sensor for the mission, the detailed design process requires engineers to model the payload in its mission environment. We will discuss design considerations and glean valuable insights about performance earlier in the design process.What attendees will learn:• How the detailed design process requires consideration for the mission environment• Important considerations about payloads and how it affects the choice of payloadsWho should attend:This series is ideal for aerospace engineers, systems engineers, mission planners, and space enthusiasts looking to deepen their knowledge.

With the ever-increasing demands for improvements in screw machine performance and efficiency, engineers must optimize their designs. When selecting a design, it is important to consider not only the thermodynamic performance of the machine, but also the performance of the entire compressor system, including bearings, silencers, electric motors, and other components. To further support these needs, GT-SCORG was introduced -combining the power of GT-SUITE, from Gamma Technologies, and SCORG, from PDM Analysis, to deliver advanced, system-level modelling and optimisation.Join Doug Petrik from Gamma Technologies and world-renowned screw machine expert, Professor Ahmed Kovacevic from PDM Analysis, on May 20, 2025 to learn about: • Challenges faced during screw machine design • How to leverage GT-SUITE with GT-SCORG for rapid screw machine development • Screw machine multi-physics, including friction, NVH, and thermal management • Case studies using GT-SUITE for screw machine design and optimizationSpeakers: Doug Petrik, Senior Applications Engineer, Gamma Technologies; Ahmed Kovacevic, Director, PDM Analysis Ltd.

The semiconductor industry is at a crossroads—where the rise of tech-savvy engineers, AI-driven analytics, and open-source tools is reshaping how data is used for decision-making. While individual coding skills in Python and R accelerate rapid prototyping, the real challenge lies in transforming these insights into scalable, enterprise-ready solutions. Innovation is no longer about individual brilliance, but collective intelligence. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the growing gap between individual empowerment and organizational scalability. We’ll explore the risks of fragmented analytics, the challenges of shadow IT, and the need for unified, governed platforms that drive cross-functional collaboration. Learn how industry leaders are bridging these gaps to accelerate yield optimization, improve process efficiency, and enable seamless innovation at scale across the industry.Key Takeaways:• How to overcome the limitations of prototype-driven analytics and the barriers to enterprise deployment• How to transition from individual coding efforts to scalable, governed solutions• The need for self-service analytics and seamless data access to rapidly build scalable analytics applications• Why collaboration across engineering disciplines is critical for semiconductor innovation• The role of AI, automation, and enterprise-grade analytics in accelerating time-to-insightWho Should Attend:• Process & Equipment Engineers• Yield & Defect Engineers• Product & Test Engineer• Data Scientists• Manufacturing Executives• Early-Career EngineersJoin us with industry experts and discover how to move beyond fragmented tools toward a truly collaborative, AI-powered future in semiconductor manufacturing.Presented in partnership with Quintus.Presented by: Alessandro Chimera, Spotfire Industry Solution LeadModerated by: Pete Singer, Editor-in-Chief Semiconductor DigestSponsored by: Spotfire® is a visual data science platform that makes smart people smarter by combining interactive visualizations and advanced analytics to solve complex, industry-specific business problems.
