Featured Mentor:
Jon Fifield

SAE Student Members: we want to get to
know you (plus, we're giving out prizes!)

Jon is Chief Engineer at
Astronics Advanced
Electronic Systems and
the Chairperson for the
SAE AE-7 Aerospace
Electrical Power and
Equipment Committee.

Join the Membership Team on August 29 and
September 26 for our *Back to School
Student Member Days* activity in Member
Connection, our well-established online
platform for technical discussions within the
global engineering community.

He has over 28 years of
experience in designing large-scale
electrical power systems for both military
and commercial aircraft applications. Over
the past five years, he has managed the
research and development activities in
designing power supplies for commercial
cabin systems products targeted for inflight entertainment systems and in-seat
power applications. Jon holds both
bachelor's and master's degrees in
engineering from Northern Arizona
University. He is also a member of the SAVE,
INCOSE, ASTM, SIAM, Sigma Xi, and Phi
Kappa Phi societies.

On August 29, we're asking you to simply
introduce yourself and your involvement with
SAE, and/or answer a technical question
provided by one of our Industrial Lecturers,
Siddarth Attravanam, and finally, to tag other
student members to provide their own
answers and tag more student members.

"I appreciate the SAE International
community of engineers because it stresses
the importance of passing on knowledge to
the next generation of engineers," Jon told
Update. "I feel it is very important to share
my work experiences and industry
knowledge with individuals that are eager
to invest time in their own professional
growth in the engineering industry."

We're giving away prizes to the top five
favorite/most thorough and thoughtful
answers to each question (Introduction and
Technical Question), either a free registration
pass for our Commercial Vehicle Engineering
Congress event (COMVEC) in September or a
$50 Amazon gift card.
Be sure to check back into Member
Connection for full details and requirements,
as well as for more information on our second
*Back to School Student Member Day* on
September 26.
