Metrology?
Hoping this Blog about a relatively little known topic will strike your interest! The intention is for this to be a basic information source about Metrology. Often when Metrology is mentioned it is confused with Meteorology (weather, etc), or its mention will draw only a blank stare. I’ve now worked in the Metrology field for about 25 years. Part of this has been during Navy active duty and reserve service in support of the submarine fleet, the war on terrorism in the Middle East, and in various leadership roles with the Navy Information Technology system. Also, I've worked for 22 years as a Metrologist in an assortment of capacities for Detroit Edison, including service as a technical support adviser to Quality Assurance. I'm a new Adjunct Instructor of Metrology at Monroe County Community College. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics Technology from Siena Heights University.

Hoping that you'll find something interesting here, and also that you'll stay tuned for future entries of what I believe are some interesting facts about this little known subject. Metrology is the Science of Measurement. The majority of items marketed in the US or the rest of the world must undergo some form of measurement, either for trade or legal reasons, and the professionals who perform these measurements are in high demand. Should I consider the study of Metrology as an option? If you agree to the affirmative with any of the below statements; then perhaps you should. My...
