| Abstract: | How are we going to find the next generation of measurement professionals? What are the issues pertinent to recruitment and training? If there were any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side and admit of being compared; when the energies of all … are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era? This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. (Ralph Waldo Emerson, Phi Beta Kappa Address, 1837.) |
