  1. As an engineer who thinks that engineering as a whole is horrendously underestimated by the general public its easy to see why metrology is even more obscure because most engineers take calibration for granted. I work in industrial control systems and its staggering just how much we rely on the manufacturers getting things right. We simply take it on face value that the manufacturers made every pressure, flow, temperature,...... sensor accurately and that they measure what they claim to measure at the scale on the box. So at the practical application level we are separated from the metrology people by the manufacturing layer. Ever since I saw MT's vid on the Jo Blocks that was followed by his more recent one on the NIST I have gained a lot more appreciation for metrology and wish it was covered a lot better at the college level.
