Power
Today we run a status check on best practice in electrical power system design, construction, operations and maintenance that support the learning, research and medical clinical delivery enterprises in education communities.
Our colloquia on this topic coincide with the two monthly IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.

Aerospace
Faster than you can say “lost luggage” innovators will be outnumbered by regulators, administrative busybodies and muckety-mucks seeking a piece of the action in the nascent catalog of space standards. Innovators will use standardization processes (particularly those favored by the federal government) to outflank their competitors.
Space is not our primary domain but, because academic programs are re-tooling their aerospace programs, we keep an eye on it. Solving problems related to space traffic management and orbital debris, for example, are hazards that can be solved with the assistance of academia. Aerospace programs have been co-operating with governments for decades and there is build-out of earthbound facilities needed to continue support for it.
This is a new unit on our Syllabus starting 2022. We will at least poke at the topic (i.e. track the relevant literature) to see if we can be of any help enlightening approaches to making the physical earthbound campus safer, simpler, lower-cost and longer-lasting. We will start with aerospace research facilities.

We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
