DESCRIPTION:Standards shape the technologies we design\, build\, and rely o
 n every day—yet few engineers truly understand how they come to life. Wh
 o drives their creation? Are they legally binding or voluntary? Do they ap
 ply globally? And how can you become part of the process and help shape th
 e next generation of innovation? What qualifications are required to join 
 a standards working group?\n\nJoin us for an engaging session that answers
  these questions and more\, exploring the how and why behind standards dev
 elopment and the critical role IEEE plays in this global effort. The talk 
 will also spotlight IEEE standards activities in manufacturing and power s
 ystems—areas of particular relevance to the IEEE Northeastern Wisconsin 
 Section and its members.\n\nhttps://www.ieee.org/northeastern-wisconsin/\n
