Associate Professor of Industrial

been invited to speak on Quality

Senate meetings arc conducted in a
manner similar to that in the House

assigned a scat and is recognized
manufacturing enterprises. The
article, which appeared in the Aug.
1987 edition of "Quality Progress",
hit a nerve in the quality control
community, drawing numerous
letters to the editor , about a dozen
of which were published.
The article asked the questions:
Why isn't quality control education
taught to students? Don't we have a
responsibility to teach quality
control education? If yes, who is
going to teach it?" And to which
students do we teach it?
These questions hit home with a
lot of people in the quality control
community and Salvia's invitation
shows that quality control education
is a world-wide concern.
Salvia will be presenting his
ideas in Israel on Nov. 8-10, 1988.
