Today, major changes are taking place that will likely affect standards education in the future. Standards organizations are reconfiguring themselves along new lines - organizationally as well as geographically. At the same time, many educational organizations are reaching out to create new ties among non-academic communities. The role that standards play in innovation, competitiveness and international trade is also becoming more readily acknowledged.

Given the changing environment this workshop looks to build on the foundation of the work being done by ICES, the ANSI Committee on Education and the 2008 NIST workshop on education about standardization. Participants will learn about existing course offerings and lessons learned from both academic and industry representatives and will discuss different pedagogical alternatives and future strategies for developing, delivering and promoting standards education curricula in North America.
