Test Technology Educational Program (TTEP 06)
http://tab.computer.org/tttc/teg/ttep
The Tutorials and Education Group of the IEEE Computer Society's TTTC organizes the Test Technology Educational Program (TTEP), a comprehensive set of test technology tutorials to be held in conjunction with TTTC-sponsored technical meetings. The IEEE Computer Society credits participation in TTEP-organized tutorials: Each full-day tutorial corresponds to four TTEP units. Upon completion of each 16 units, participants receive official accreditation in the form of the IEEE TTTC Test Technology Certificate.
The 2006 TTEP tutorials program has planned the following technical meetings for 2006:
Design Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE 06): 6 to 10 March, Munich, Germany;
Latin American Test Workshop (LATW 06): 26 to 29 March, Buenos Aires, Argentina;
