On Wednesday, March 27 and Thursday March 28, 2023, the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering conducted its bi-annual Reliability Science symposium and research planning meetings. This meeting was a hybrid meeting at the University of Maryland and virtually via Zoom. The meeting will be held in the Kay Board Room (1107) of the Kim Engineering Building on the campus of the University of Maryland. The closest parking is the rooftop lot in Regents Garage. The meeting will include an overview of CALCE research activities with several detailed research project presentations. The meeting materials are open to all CALCE members with CALCE Web Accounts.

If you are interested in CALCE membership, please contact Dr. Osterman. The links to register for the event are provided below:
