ETA International Applauds the 2019 Technician and Educator of the Year Technician of the Year - Bruce Mues, FOI, FOT-OSP , Servo Technical Specialist III at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Socorro, New Mexico. “Bruce seems to know when a job is going to be a two-person job and takes me with him to troubleshoot servo issues on the antennas any chance he gets because he knows I am trying to learn that side of our team. He is willing to help everyone at NRAO – not just those on our team. He helps me any time I ask - and sometimes when I don't,” said his nominator and co-worker Cindy George, FOT, FOT-OSP.

By designing and building our lab stations in-house, he has saved the college tens of thousands of dollars over commercially available equipment,” said his nominator and supervisor John Poelma.
