Abstract:
A three R’s concept discussed the use of the following ideas: reduce to layman’s terms the language used while
explaining a metrology issue; relate the metrology issue to everyday life as a civilian and/or an active duty
soldier; recap to stay on point. Looking at Fundamental, Applied, and Legal metrology, I wish to expand on these
ideas by combining various vocational and academic skills. In other words, take the book sense, mix in some
common sense, and make it work. In doing this, new technologies are discovered, processes are improved,
education is enhanced, and fair trade is maintained.
Learning Objectives:
• Explain general information that should be considered in order to develop, implement, and document training
in Metrology career fields.
• Identify knowledge requirements as well as the vocational and academic backgrounds.
• Give examples of training plans utilized.
