Introduction and goals

This is the working page of how we define the instrumentation division strategy within TID. Here you can find what we will do, how you can contribute and what we have done. Most of the work will happen from February till June to discuss questions about our organizations and topics we work on, this will result in a ID strategy presentation in August 2023. We ask you to contribute as part of the instrumentation division by filling in our first survey, attending the monthly focus groups, attending the monthly topical seminars and finally approving and applying the resulting strategy. If you have any questions, or any feedback on the process, let Sander Breur know as he is spearheading this effort.

Activities done/ongoing:

ID communication:

  • Create common calendar to track opportunities
  • Create common slide deck for conferences
  • Track interesting conferences to make sure we are represented
  •  Add technology list on external website

Building improvements:

  • Order and install new plotter in building 84
  • Hang scientific engineering posters in integrated circuits hallway
  • Install display case at side entrance of building 84
  • put up department signs
  •  


Sign-up sheets for events of this month: 

For those attending the focus group or instrumentation seminar we will provide a simple selection of sandwiches, one piece of fruit and a cup of coffee. But only if you sign up at least 24 hours before in the sign-up sheet and only for the first 10 due to budget restrictions! 

(You are welcome to bring your own lunch)

Focus session: what are our weaknesses and threats?Wednesday, April 2612:00 – 1:00 PMBallam (188) conference room in building 84 (first floor)https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/177sRhzcIboSZCiG7nxqrLHBsxSyV43vfBZU2HLBK1uM/edit#gid=0In person only

Full Calendar of events:

Every month we try to have one focus session on the second Wednesday of the month, and one topical seminar on the third Wednesday of the month. The focus sessions are only in person and meant to discuss answers on the specific question about our organization. The instrumentation seminars will have several speakers giving short five-minute introductions from different viewpoints after which the goal is to have questions and discussions to identify what future opportunities there are within this topic. The outcomes from these focus sessions and instrumentation seminars are then used as the starting point by the department heads to determine a coherent ID strategy. Every event is open to everyone within instrumentation.
