Professor Essam Shehab, Head of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the School of Engineering and Digital Sciences (SEDS) at Nazarbayev University, delivered a keynote address at the 4th International Conference on Mechanical, Aerospace, and Automotive Engineering (CMAAE 2024) in Beijing, China (CMAAE 2024 Keynotes). He presented a keynote titled “Industrial Digitalization Applications in World-Class Aerospace Companies” at the conference (CMAAE 2024), Beijing, China. The conference was organized by Beihang University and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Over the past three years, Professor Shehab has delivered six plenary and keynote presentations at international conferences, contributing to SEDS’ global reputation and supporting Nazarbayev University’s efforts to promote research and industry-academia collaboration.
In addition to CMAAE 2024, Professor Shehab was invited to deliver a keynote at the International Conference of Mechanical Engineering on Aerospace (CoMEA 2024) in China https. The plenary presentation provided an overview of a number of research projects on digital manufacturing, which were carried out within world-class aerospace companies, including Airbus and Rolls-Royce. The research projects included digital mock-up, model-based definition, and digital workflow in manufacturing. The Digital Mock-Up (DMU) project focused on integrating design and manufacturing teams during different phases of aircraft design to reduce concession time. Model-Based Definition (MBD) is based on the shift to 3D CAD models as a single source of product definition, encompassing all the product information and thus eliminating the need for 2D representation. It is a digital product model that defines the requirements and specifications of the product. A Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) uses MBD to define the product requirements and specifications instead of paper-based documents as the data source for all engineering activities throughout the product lifecycle. The presentation provided an outline of the digital workflow of complex aerospace manufacturing engineering processes.
Professor Shehab also delivered a plenary presentation titled “Recent Advances in Digital Manufacturing in the Aerospace Industry” at the 4th International Conference on Aerospace and Unmanned Aerial Systems (Aerospace-2022), alongside speakers from NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and other leading institutions.
He was further invited to serve as a plenary speaker at two consecutive IEEE International Conferences on Smart Information Systems and Technologies (IEEE SIST) in 2022 and 2023, hosted by Astana IT University in Astana, Kazakhstan. His topic, “Industrial Digitalization Projects for World-Class Aerospace Companies,” underscored the transformative potential of digital solutions in aerospace.
In 2022, Professor Shehab was also a plenary speaker at the 1st International Conference on Technological University Education in Cairo, Egypt, where he presented on “Industry-Academia Collaboration: Examples from World-Class Aerospace Companies.”
