Wanted to let you know about two virtual professional development opportunities of potential interest:

• NSF-Sponsored Workshop on Enterprise Network Models for Counterfeit Electronic Parts Supply Chains on Thursday August 5, 2021. The objective of this Workshop is to examine enterprise network modeling as a tool for understanding and disrupting counterfeit electronics supply chains.
• Army Combat Capabilities Development Command C5ISR-sponsored two-part course on Counterfeit Electronics: Detection and Avoidance on August 10 and August 17. This two-part training from the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) at the University of Maryland will provide attendees a better understanding of the benefits of proactively managing supply chain and counterfeit reporting to minimize program risk in support of achieving program goals and objectives. There is no cost to attend and an SF182 is NOT required. CLPs are authorized for this event. Attendance is limited to 300 participants on a first come, first served basis. Contact [email protected] by Friday Aug 6 to register.
