IPC Designs Symposiums for North American Marketplace
June 21, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Northbrook, Ill. — The IPC Designers Council will host two Designers Learning Symposiums from August 24 through 25, 2004, in Albuquerque, N.M. and from November 9 through 10, 2004, in Montreal, Canada, for printed circuit board (PCB) designers throughout North America.
Each symposium will offer a comprehensive technical program, including presentations dealing with the industry's most crucial topics. Industry experts will provide the following presentations on the necessary skills that PCB designers and others involved in engineering or manufacturing can immediately apply:
- Designing Embedded Resistors and Capacitors
- Distributed Capacitance and Buried Passives: Materials, Design and Performance
- Embedded Component Design
- BGA Implementation — Design Issue Focus
- Printed Wiring Board Purchasing for the Buyer
- Design for Electrical Performance
- Microvia Routing/Design
- High Performance Materials
- Introduction to Lead-free PCB Soldering Technologies for Designers
- Vision 2010: Design Technology for the Future
- PCB Design for RF Applications
Additionally, half-day Off-Site Applied Training segments at a leading interconnect manufacturing service/PCB company will allow PCB designers to learn new skills and apply them to actual manufacturing practices via the latest design software.
Immediately following each symposium, IPC also will host its three-day certification program for PCB designers who aspire to become Certified Interconnect Designers or Advanced Certified Interconnect Designers. Developed to assess one's knowledge of how to transform a schematic into a reliable rigid PCB design that can be easily manufactured, assembled and tested, these certification classes are based on several critical IPC documents that link design principles to the end product use of the printed wiring assembly.
