October Section Meeting – Human Design and Operator Error Detection and Prevention Methods

Human Design and Operator Error Detection and Prevention Methods, Tools and Technologies with Practical Case Studies & Examples: an interactive NJIT ASQ Chapter workshop presentation

On Friday March 21, 2014, high school students from all around Bergen County will converge upon Bergen Community College in Paramus New Jersey to take part in hands-on workshops in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.).

Students will be anticipating exciting and engaging hands-on activities and we look forward to your help offering these experiences to them! We are also looking for volunteers with information tables at lunch regarding Careers in S.T.E.M.

Please fill out the following form by August 1, 2013. A member of the committee will get back to you with additional details.

Our inaugural event, held in the winter of 2012, was highly regarded by the student participants and received a great deal of media attention including The Bergen Record, the Patch, and various local television spots.

Thanks for a great Section meeting yesterday and thanks again for Dave and Bill for an engaging QA presentation (with full set props and all!). They presented on Survivor Stories, a set of case studies from “the QA foxhole” out in the field and we covered everything from imported radios and drug testing to Madagascar vanilla extract and computer monitor quality.
