Educating Students about Careers in MetrologyAbstract:The Navy’s Metrology and Calibration (METCAL) Program is essential to effective operations,important to the Navy’s acquisition processes, and critical for proper and effective equipmentmaintenance and repair. The Navy could not operate effectively without a sound METCALsystem in place. The Navy’s Metrology Engineering Center (MEC) and associated laboratoryhas a continuing need to hire engineers and scientists to engage in executing and maintaining theNavy’s METCAL system that supports the Navy worldwide. Unfortunately, it is extremely rareto find a graduating engineer or scientist that is aware of metrology. Typically, the onlyexceptions are graduates who have served in the military or worked as
