Schools can, at the conclusion of the terms, plan for students to sit for the CET exams. Field service reps from local companies, TV-audio shop service managers, government agency representatives, and others can be brought in to enlighten the members. Test equipment and service literature can often be acquired at no cost through donations. A supplier is often happy to donate to a good cause and to release non-moving equipment from his inventory sheets. The student or local chapter can encourage members and others to become familiar with the chapter test equipment and hardware, satellite system, computer, radios, etc.
Chapters can deviate a portion of each meeting to bull sessions.
At these sessions, difficult topics can be further explained, perhaps eliminating mental roadblocks to further understanding of instruction at school, or electronics servicing principles.
