What’s more exciting than the cherry blossoms and the crazy weather we’ve been having? Only one thing: Technomics Training Institute! 

TTI has been moving along, and our analysts have now gotten through module 7 of the CEBoK, Learning Curves. TTI is always fun, but that session was particularly absorbing with Brian Flynn pulling out trivia questions and hands-on activities coming from nuclear research, ship production, and bridge refurbishment. Did you know that M&Ms were invented for soldiers in WWII?

We have also recently covered Data Analysis (presenter: Brian Truskin), Inflation (Brian Ullrich and Abby Snoznik), and Data Collection (Brandon Bryant and Rick Collins). Upcoming TTI sessions include Regression (Peter Braxton), Risk (Steve Tracy), and Probability and Statistics (Brian Kolstad).
