The Metrology Job Description Initiative: NCSLI and ASQ Partnering for the Future

Abstract: If you talk to almost any person involved in the metrology profession about new talent entering the field, you'll probably get the same response: “There are not enough young people entering the field to replace the many baby boomers getting ready to retire.” At the heart of this alarming observation is the lack of metrology awareness amongst young adults poised to make career decisions that will in many cases determine their lifelong profession. To assist young adults in making well informed career decisions, educators frequently reference U.S. Department of Labor publications in order to provide information about professions and forecasts of future job growth. This paper will discuss the joint efforts of NCSL International and the American Society for Quality's Measurement Quality Division to increase awareness of the metrology profession, and to thereby increase the likelihood that young adults will pursue a career in metrology. These efforts resulted in the development of three job descriptions: Calibration Technician; Calibration Engineer; and Metrologist.
