I think I've mentioned this before but I attended the NIST T&F metrology seminar in June. Although a good chunk of of it was at least somewhat over my head, I definitely learned a lot and feel like I have a lot better handle on some of the questions I had. I may even consider going back for a second round in a year or two to try to move on to the next level. Definitely worth the admission fee.
The other thing that re-learned (from my youth) is how well I absorbed advanced technical information in this type of format - that is, being immersed in data which has large chunks beyond my skill level. Sort of the "sink or swim" training method. A lot of the training I've ended up at recently is quite frankly a waste of time due to the classes trying to cater to everyone so the material is so watered down as to be largely useless. After walking out of a week of high-level training and realizing how much more I understand now I really think this is the type of educational opportunities I should be looking for. So, the question for the list: What other high quality seminars/workshops are out there? Is there anything else I should be considering along these lines (I.E. IEEE Membership, etc) in order to have other educational opportunities? -- - Forrest _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
