With a bustling expo floor, robust conference programming, and a palpable spirit of collaboration, the events attracted engineers, plant managers, operations executives, and product developers from a wide range of industries.

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) professionals are essential for ensuring the safety of infrastructure, flight operations, and energy facilities. However, a significant workforce shortage threatens this crucial role, with an aging workforce and fewer new entrants. Addressing this talent gap is vital to maintaining the high standards of safety and reliability in our industry.

Meet our 2025 Quality Rookie of the Year, Attrayee Chakraborty. She is a quality professional in the medical field with a background in biotechnology and expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Benoit Perrin has been appointed president of the new entity.

Engineers rely on industry standards for safety, which require extensive development time. However, the rapid pace of emerging technologies poses challenges for timely standardization, as reaching consensus on new standards becomes difficult in a fast-changing environment, according to Shawn Moylan from NIST.

Calibration lab quotes are often based on ideal conditions, but the true costs of calibration testing can remain hidden from metrics. When these costs appear, managers may blame the lab. By using risk control tools and investing in quality equipment, labs can reduce these hidden expenses.

Nondestructive testing (NDT) assesses structures like bridges and pipelines without damage, ensuring safety in construction, manufacturing, and energy for over a century. NDT has evolved from basic tools (NDE 1.0) to smart systems (NDE 4.0), adapting alongside industrial revolutions.

Over the last 20 years at conferences, I've noticed many improvement posters rely on line and bar charts, which aren't always effective. While some use control charts and histograms, they often miss illustrating the "before and after" of improvements. It's crucial to better showcase these changes with appropriate chart types.

How do sounds like birds chirping or your favorite song make you feel? They represent analog information. Analog design captures this data through electronic circuits, linking the analog world to digital technology. This article explores the analog circuit design cycle, opportunities, and the future of circuit design.
