The next scheduled Bridging the Gap course will be held on 9-10 August at Fox Engineering and Operations in Los Angeles, CA. Stay tuned for registration information!!
BTS’ much-anticipated training course, Bridging the Gap, is now ready for courses. This two-day, highly interactive seminar allows engineers and technicians from a wide variety of backgrounds to gain a mutual understanding of the complex relationships that exist between media and information processing technologies.
We are still actively recruiting students and looking for organizations which are able to host class sessions in their facilities. If you are interested in attending or hosting an upcoming class, or if you would just like more information, please write to Amy Reeder at a.reeder@ieee.org.
