This session offers advice on looking within the standards, specifications, and procedures/practices of your organization, and count the number of times the BPE is incorporated by reference (hint, it may be quite a few!)

Then, learn how to join the BPE in its mission of improving and standardizing the design and construction of the equipment we use every day!
