How can I join an IEST Working Group?
IEST has instituted a program of standards and recommended practices in order to publish and disseminate up-to-date, reliable, technical information within each of its Divisions: Contamination Control; Design, Test, and Evaluation; and Product Reliability. This is accomplished through a series of Standards and Recommended Practices (RPs) providing standardized procedures based upon peer-approved applications of environmental technology. These documents are formulated by IEST Working Groups. Working Group members determine, through cooperative effort, what issues will be addressed in each Recommended Practice and what procedures will be included. Working Group meetings take place at ESTECH and Fall Conference. Attend one meeting on a topic in your area of expertise or on a topic that interests you to become an observer. Attend two consecutive meetings of the same Working Group and become eligible to become a voting member. Submit a technical department inquiry with any questions related to Working Groups or becoming a Working Group member. Current list of Working Groups.
How can I submit a paper to be published in the Journal of the IEST?
The Journal of the IEST invites you to publish. The advantages of publishing in the online Journal are readership, prestige, and stability and leadership. Learn more about submitting a paper for peer review or an article for consideration.
