| Benefits of being
an ESDA volunteer |
| According to Barth, “Volunteering
to help with the ESDA device Standards Working Groups was an excellent
education in a completely new industry. I rapidly learned many details
of ESD testing which has advanced my career and given me new friends with
positive attitudes seldom seen in government circles. Although many are
PhD’s they are willing to help explain their particular expertise.
I have been very pleased to find that trading knowledge among these scientists
and engineers is very open. All of us have the goal of trying to improve
the state-of-the-art in an ever changing technology. The ESDA and all
the people we have worked with has been a truly marvelous experience in
this late phase of my engineering career.” |
