I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
June 19, 2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
Why do so many students who begin college intending to pursue STEM careers ultimately change direction? According to research highlighted by Malcolm Gladwell, the answer often has less to do with ability than perseverance. That spirit of continuous learning is reflected in my must-reads for the week, from major industry investments and policy developments to conferences, publications, and tools designed to help engineers improve their craft. Be sure to read the June issues of I-Connect007 Magazine and the Advanced Electronics Packaging Digest, which both published this week. They serve as a reminder that innovation depends not only on technology, but also on the people willing to keep learning and growing throughout their careers.
The PCB Designer's Blind Spot: No Feedback, No Progress
June 18, 2026 | Stephan Schmidt, Pentalogix
In PCB design, time and effort are everything. You've spent weeks perfecting your schematic, routing traces, and ensuring signal integrity. Finally, you generate those Gerber files and send them off to your preferred PCB fabricator. It's a moment of relief: The design is out of your hands, and production can begin. But what happens next? For many PCB designers, the answer is surprisingly unclear. Fabricators often make manufacturability adjustments without providing detailed feedback, leaving designers unaware of recurring issues.
