Hi everyone, Thank you for all your replies on the subject. There were a wide range of insightful opinions from "never found it useful" through to "very important" with most replies falling in the "could be useful to you depending on your circumstances" range. So: 1) I'm probably going to test run an IEEE membership for a year or two and judge the benefits for myself 2) I shall be further investigating the iNARTE EMC Engineer qualification as a learning excercise especially into areas of EMC I haven't had much experience with. Many thanks James

Hi folks, I'm investigating the possibility of the following... 1) joining the IEEE for the EMC Society (either as an affiliate member or an IEEE member) 2) working towards an iNARTE EMC qualification I'd be interested of hearing people's experiences of either of these and how it has helped them in their work Thanks and happy Friday James James Pawson Leading Hardware Engineer - EMC EchoStar Europe - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
