Shubin Aerospace SHUBINAEROSPACE INSTITUTE
Aircraft cabin interior
Shubin Aerospace Institute

Training built around how your engineers actually work.

The Institute develops aircraft cabin-interior engineering talent two ways — custom training programs tailored to your company’s processes, and a free, self-paced online course that turns new engineering hires into productive interiors engineers.

Two ways to train

One discipline — cabin interior engineering — taught to a team or to an individual.

Custom corporate training

Custom Training Modules tailored to your industry, your tools, and your Company.

Every interiors shop has its own drawing conventions, its own tribal knowledge and its own recurring mistakes. A generic CAD class doesn’t touch any of it. Our engagements start by learning yours.

Taught in your software
Parametric CAD — seat assembly model tree Detail drawing with dimensions and notes LOPA — layout of passenger accommodations CAM toolpaths for a machined part Parts tracking and bill of materials

Modules are built and delivered in the programs your team already runs — CAD and assemblies, drawings and GD&T, cabin layout, CAM, and the part-tracking sheets that keep a program honest.

How an engagement works
01
Discovery

An on-site visit to watch how your team really designs — where the time goes, where the rework comes from, which standards get cited and which get skipped.

Interviews & shadowing
Process & drawing audit
Findings report
02
Build

We author training modules against your parts and process — your monuments, your inserts, your certification path — not generic textbook examples.

Tailored courseware
Company-specific exercises
Reference maps & job aids
03
Deliver

Live instruction to your engineers, in the software they use, with design reviews on the work they’ll actually ship — on-site or online.

Live cohort delivery
Individual design review
Post-course job aids kept
Built to protect your IP
Every engagement runs under an NDA with a strict wall between clients — no method or courseware built for you is reused elsewhere. Export-controlled data is screened at intake, and we’ll decline anything we shouldn’t hold.

Cabin Interiors Foundations

A free, self-paced online course for new and early-career engineers stepping into cabin interiors. Sign in and work through the modules at your own pace — it teaches what school skips: how the work is really done, how cabin parts are actually built, and how to make the tradeoffs the job runs on. No prior interiors experience required.

What's inside
01Cabin architecture & coordinates — STA / BL / WL, reading a LOPA
02Monuments & their drivers — galleys, lavs, closets, dividers
03Certification basis — TC / STC, who signs, where Part 25 bites
04Design for manufacturing — panel, machined, formed, molded, inserts
05The daily tradeoffs — weight, cost, schedule, assembly, access
What you’ll be able to do
01
Read a cabin — locate anything by station, buttline and waterline, and read a LOPA.
02
Work the way the job really works — adapt proven designs instead of starting from a blank screen.
03
Design for manufacturing — pick the right process for each part, from sandwich panel to machined fitting.
04
Hold the daily tradeoffs — weight, cost, schedule, ease of assembly and maintenance access.
05
Live in the real toolset — parametric CAD, a PLM/PDM system, Excel, and drawing & GD&T standards.
06
Be relentlessly correct with data — materials, part numbers, descriptions — and defend it in a design review.
Built by a practitioner

Written and built by working cabin-interior engineers — grounded in real design decisions, not textbook theory read off slides.

Honest about the credential

The open course awards a certificate of completion. It is professional development — not a degree, and we make no promise of placement.

Synthetic teaching data

All course geometry is generic single-aisle transport data, created for teaching — never derived from any OEM or supplier source.
