Introduction to Life Cycle Environmental Profile (LCEP)

This 2 hour webinar course, appropriate for engineers and program managers, is designed to introduce the process of developing the Life Cycle Environmental Profile  (LCEP).  The LCEP is a critical part of developing an effective environmental test program for hardware and systems.  All hardware will withstand a unique set of damaging environments that will challenge the performance and reliability of the hardware.  The LCEP offers a systematic approach to identifying and quantifying the damage potential of those environments.  The LCEP process also helps turn information from the damaging environments into an environmental test plan. 

Students will:

  • Learn the damaging environments for various platforms
  • Explore platform environmental "microenvironments"
  • Learn how to quantify and evaluate damage potential.
  • Learn how to turn environments into test procedures and plans
  • Learn to sequence test events to reduce environmental damage risk.
  • Learn how to handle last minute requirement changes
