Systems Engineering is Important – ATI Courses
What could possibly go wrong if you have multiple engineers concentrating on their own aspect of the overall design, and no one paying attention to the overall system? You avoid this problem by putting a Systems Engineer in charge of the team. ATI offers a full line of Systems Engineering courses, from introductory level, to advanced level. Take a look at what SE courses we are offering, and consider learning more about this important discipline.

#1 Rule for Fight Club, and For Winning A Space War – ATI Courses
Ensuring the preparedness of Space War Assets during peacetime is critical to the war plan for Space Wars. To learn more about Space Wars in general, please consider attending a free one-hour introductory webinar “How To Fight And Win Space Wars”. Paul Szymanski will share his thoughts on the subject, and introduce a series of upcoming ATI lectures which will delve more into the subject. Mr. Szymanski has 50 years’ experience in space war policy, doctrine, strategy, simulations, surveillance, survivability, threat assessment, long-range strategic planning, and command and control. To learn more, and to register for the upcoming free Space Wars lecture, please visit here. Feel free to attend the webinar even if you have no plan to attend future lectures; maybe you will learn something, and maybe Paul will change your mind about future lectures.

What are recent students saying about ATI courses and our instructors?
Satellite Communications Design & Engineering
“Bob has a wealth of knowledge and certainly knows the material.” “He was very knowledgeable on the subject, and I appreciated how up-to-date all of the content appeared.”
Systems Engineering Fundamentals
” The instructor is very experienced and shared many practical examples to help us understand the content.”
Radar Systems Fundamentals
“For a fundamentals course, this was quite more advanced than I was expecting. While I may not ever get to apply a good amount of the equations for my work, I still came away with an understanding of what they mean.” Radar Systems Fundamentals
“Fantastic overview of high-level radar concepts. Being someone that’s easily intimidated by all the math in radar textbooks, I appreciated the straight-forward explanation of basic concepts tied to accompanying equations I also appreciate the inclusion of MATLAB scripts with the course material and stepping through them real time”
Technical Presentation Skills for STEM Professionals
“Kept the class engaged and made the material relatable with the questions and examples he gave.”
