(University of North Carolina: Charlotte, NC) -- After the death of Bailey Squier, co-founder of the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC), its board of directors contemplated ways to ensure his accomplishments and legacy aren’t forgotten. As a symbol of gratitude and admiration for Squier’s life and legacy, the DMSC board established the Bailey H. Squier DMSC Metrology Memorial Scholarship.

Serving as the DMSC executive director from 2005 to 2019, Squier helped turn the Quality Information Framework (QIF) into the leading digital metrology standard for model-based enterprise. Prior to DMSC, he was well-known throughout the ANSI and ISO standards organizations, with substantial influence over manufacturing and quality standards during his 40-year career with the CAM-I organization. Additionally, Squier was the primary technology architect of the DMIS (dimensional measuring interface standard) metrology standard, which enabled traceability of measurement processes and interoperability between coordinate measuring systems.
