TO THE COMPANY:

Our Objective:

In today’s extremely competitive aerospace industry an aircraft company maintains its high level of profitability through an effective continuing education program for its engineers. Since 1980 Engineering Contract Services has been providing engineering seminars in “Practical Stress Analysis for Design Engineers.” Our technical programs are specifically developed for the aerospace industry and their requirements for more productive and technically competent structural design engineers. Only through specialized practical training can engineers hope to acquire the creativity, innovation, and imagination required to meet the technological challenges of sophisticated aircraft vehicle structures of today. The understanding of complex aircraft structures can best be learned by special instruction from industry practicing engineering specialists. Through a complete and practical study from these specialists, the engineer’s position can become more rewarding in terms of his own personal accomplishments, productivity, and scientific evaluation of truly successful designs.
In summary, our objective is to enable each engineer enrolled in our programs the means to upgrade his professional engineering skills so that he can attain overall efficiency and confidence in the performance of his principal job objectives. To the company, this critical training will significantly impact the bottom line by positively enhancing the working relationship between design and stress engineering groups. The end result is a grater pool of competent, experienced engineers who can meet the challenge of today’s technology by developing producible hardware that is lightweight and cost-effective; all of which must be accomplished within schedules and budgetary constraints.

Credits and Program Integration:

Practical Stress Analysis Seminars have become recognized and accepted at major U.S. aerospace companies. Our engineering programs have been offered as public seminars and as in-plant educational programs approved through associated universities for presentation to structural engineers at on-site company facilities.
Our engineering programs at Northrop Advanced Systems Division, General Dynamics-Fort Worth Division, NASA-John F. Kennedy Space Center, Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Bell Helicopter Textron, McDonnell Douglas Corp, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, Sikorsky Aircraft Company, and Douglas Aircraft Company have proved an invaluable part of the technical training required for their structural engineers to remain current in their respective fields. To accomplish this, we incorporated the analytical procedures and methodologies used by these host companies into our program material; we essentially customize our engineering program to each companies’ approved methods and procedures. Our programs have been recognized by the School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Louisiana Tech University, West Coast University, and Northrop University, and meet the same standards of quality which these institutions have set for their own core of engineering classes. Participants who successfully complete the program are eligible to receive their PSA Certificate for interim certification in aircraft stress analysis.
The organization of our engineering textbook has spanned almost two decades during which time many Practical Stress Analysis Seminars have been taught. The practical engineering experience gained from our industry working specialists has been accumulated to make this information now available to entry-level engineers and practicing design engineers enrolled in our programs in a comprehensive textbook for their detailed study and daily engineering design use.
