(Discount code HOUS2025)
The first phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle is to identify and document IACS assets and perform a cybersecurity vulnerability and risk assessment in order to identify and understand the high-risk vulnerabilities that require mitigation. Per ISA 62443-2-1 these assessments need to be performed on both new (i.e. greenfield) and existing (i.e. brownfield) applications. Part of the assessment process involves developing a zone and conduit model of the system, identifying security level targets, and documenting the cybersecurity requirements into a cybersecurity requirements specification (CRS).
This course will provide students with the information and skills to assess the cybersecurity of a new or existing IACS and to develop a cybersecurity requirements specification that can be used to document the cybersecurity requirements the project.

(Discount code HOUS2025)
The second phase in the IACS Cybersecurity Lifecycle (defined in ISA/IEC 62443-1-1) focuses on the activities associated with the design and implementation of IACS cybersecurity countermeasures. This involves the selection of appropriate countermeasures based upon their security level capability and the nature of the threats and vulnerabilities identified in the Assess phase. This phase also includes cybersecurity acceptance testing of the integrated solution, in order to validate countermeasures are properly implemented and that the IACS has achieved the target security level.
This course will provide students with the information and skills to select and implement cybersecurity countermeasures for a new or existing IACS in order to achieve the target security level assigned to each IACS zone or conduit. Additionally, students will learn how to develop and execute test plans to verify that the cybersecurity of an IACS solution has properly satisfied the objectives in the cybersecurity requirements specification.

The Contextual Foundation: Unlocking Industrial AI Value
2025-11-12 11:00 - 13:00 | Zoom
Abstract:
To many automation engineers, AI feels like a buzzword, especially considering recent studies showing up to 95% of projects fail to yield measurable business value. This high failure rate is a direct rerun of the ‘pilot purgatory’ that plagued early digital transformation efforts, where scaling was impossible due to fragmented, siloed, and non-contextualized data.
Just as in many machine learning efforts where 80% of the work was in data janitorial tasks, a successful industrial AI implementation is anchored on effective data contextualization to establish a robust industrial knowledge graph. This session cuts through the hype to provide an engineering-focused rationale for moving from pilot to production.
We will highlight the unique complexities of industrial data—from time series to P&IDs—and illustrate why a contextualized foundation is the single most critical step. Finally, we showcase the concrete benefits (such as reduced downtime and “autonomous” operations) achieved by applying specialized AI agents onto a unified industrial knowledge graph, using real-world examples to prove that sustained value realization is achievable.

An Overview of Open Process Automation and Industry Adoption Update
2025-12-10 11:00 - 12:30 | Zoom
Abstract:
Open, interoperable control isn’t a future vision anymore – it’s here, and it’s reshaping global standards.
Over the past decade, The Open Group Open Process Automation Forum (OPAF) has turned a bold idea—breaking vendor lock‑in in process control—into the O‑PAS standard, a “standard of standards” that aligns existing technologies into a truly modular, multi‑vendor architecture. O‑PAS gives owner‑operators a way to decouple hardware from software, adopt IT‑aligned architectures, and modernize brownfield assets without another generation of closed DCS lock‑in. O‑PAS is no longer just a document—it’s a growing set of real plants, real projects, and real teams proving that open, interoperable control systems can be safer, more flexible, and more economical than the legacy status quo.
This presentation will provide an overview and update on the current state of adoption.

ONLINE ONLY – Zoom Web Meeting

About this course:
This course reviews the knowledge and skills areas included on the CSE Professional Engineer (PE) examination. This course prepares engineers with a minimum of four years of experience to take the CSE PE exam by providing instruction on the broad range of technical areas that will be tested. The exams are produced by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) and administered by US state professional license boards. EN00 course content is based on the CSE exam specification that went into effect in October 2019. Contact NCEES to schedule your exam.

Due to decoupling the PE Exam from the experience requirement, an EIT may take the PE Exam before applying for licensure or earning the required four years of experience. The only requirement to be eligible is to be a Texas EIT. If you aren’t an EIT, PELS encourages you to register for your EIT using the Online EIT application. It streamlines the EIT application process and allows for online payments.

CCUS Measurement Systems
2026-03-04 11:00 - 12:30 | Zoom
Abstract:
An overview of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) measurement systems, from source to sequestration or utilization including the diverse requirements of stakeholders such as EPA permit guidelines, pipeline and reservoir integrity, custody transfer, and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) accounting, maintenance, operations surveillance, project execution, vendors and suppliers.
There are multiple stakeholders with diverse requirements in the CCUS program. All the requirements are equally important to having a successful and profitable CCUS program.
The solution is a combination of flow measurement and analyzer technologies that meet the stakeholder requirements. The solution also includes industry-accepted validation methodologies. Additionally, participating in the ongoing development of industry standards and research projects will ensure that suppliers and end users are aligned.
The development of the carbon markets and associated industry standards are ongoing. This effort has consolidated multiple requirements so that we can work with standards organizations, researchers, carbon markets and equipment providers.
