MIL-HDBK-217 Update
Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division is seeking component failure data from current technology for updates to MIL-Handbook-217 and the component failure rate models within the document.
Please use this link to complete a questionaire to support this effort.

All data submitted to support the MIL-HDBK-217 Update effort will be screened, qualified and processed through the DoD-funded, DTIC-sponsored Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC; formerly known as the Reliability Analysis Center - RAC). As part of its charter as an unbiased, third-party agency of the DoD, the RIAC routinely executes Nondisclosure Agreements (NDAs) to protect proprietary data. The RIAC will ensure that all submitted data is properly sanitized, such that no proprietary information will be provided to the at-large MIL-HDBK-217 Working Group.
Reliability Society to Offer Scholarships...
The IEEE Reliability Society is pleased to announce scholarships to graduate students and upper division undergraduate students. Up to five $2000 scholarships will be awarded each year to students who have demonstrated achievement in their studies and who have taken at least one course with reliability content.
"We are extremely pleased with this outreach effort, and hope that these scholarships encourage students to take an interest in Reliability Engineering and to understand that reliability is an overarching factor in whatever they may be studying and what they will do in their career. If you are a student, and have taken a course with reliability content which sparked an interest in reliability, I encourage you to apply for this scholarship" said Bill Tonti, the President of the IEEE Reliability Society.
Detailed requirements and applications for the scholarship are available on this website and through school financial aid offices.
