Measurement in the Real World

A connected webinar series for early‑career engineers and scientists

How do we know a measurement is right and why does it matter?

Measurement underpins almost everything in modern engineering. This four‑part lunchtime webinar series from the InstMC Measurement Special Interest Group (M‑SIG) explores how measurement shows up in everyday engineering decisions and how it can shape your future career.

In each online session, our experts will help you explore expert insight to take you from practical engineering questions through to career opportunities in measurement and metrology.

Session 1	The Engineer’s Perspective: Choosing the Right Tool	Wednesday 7 October 2026
Session 2	Core Metrology: How Measurements Are Made Reliable	Wednesday 14 October 2026
Session 3	When Measurements Go Bad… : Problems and Consequences	Wednesday 21 October 2026
Session 4	Measurement Careers and Graduate Pathways	Wednesday 28 October 2026

Why attend the full series?

These webinars are designed as a connected journey, not standalone talks. Attending all four sessions gives you a clearer picture of how measurement connects practical engineering, global standards, and real career opportunities.

Save these dates in your calendar and join us to see how measurement shapes the world and where it could take you next!

Draft version of major iso 10012 revision released

A draft version of a major revision of ISO 10012, Quality management – Requirements for measurement management systems, has been released. This is a standard which provides a framework for organisations to create a measurement management system which will provide confidence in the validity and reliability of measurement results. Importantly, this standard is aimed at any organisation, of any size, in any field, which carries out measurements.    

The draft version of the standard can be found here: ISO DIS 10012
