36th Annual Meeting Tutorials
Welcome to the tutorial program for the 36th Annual Meeting of the ASPE! As in past years, this year’s program offers a number of tutorials of interest to the precision engineering community. This year’s program offers twenty tutorials of which roughly half are new, either being offered for the very first time or with new tutors presenting a fresh viewpoint.
Just as we did last year, we are taking advantage of the hybrid conference format to present the tutorials over an extended period of time prior to the start of the conference to maximize the opportunity to participate in the program. All tutorials will be available in a virtual format, even if they are being offered in-person at the conference venue.
The following is a list of tutorials that will be offered from October 27 – November 2, 2021. Registration is open and we look forward to your participation in this comprehensive program.
Dr. Vivek G. Badami, Zygo Corporation
