(NCSLI: Boulder, CO) -- NCSL International recently announced that it has developed a new multimedia DVD resource. The NCSLI “Find a Cool Career in Metrology” DVD is a new resource available to students, parents, and academic counselors to explain metrology—the science of measurement. The DVD describes how measurement science plays a vital role in every area of science, engineering, manufacturing, and commerce. The variety of opportunities offered in this science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career field can be explored, as well as learning about the multiple pathways available to students interested in becoming a measurement scientist.

“In 2011, NCSLI will celebrate 50 years of serving the world of measurement. As a part of our celebration, we would like to encourage each and every metrologist worldwide to participate in at least one outreach event during the year… together we can inspire the next generation!” says Elizabeth Gentry from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the committee chair responsible for this project.
