Beyond Design: How Signals Survive the Hostile PCB Environment

06/03/2026 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond Design
Modern digital signals exhibit behavior more characteristic of RF waveforms than the slow logic transitions of the past. With fast rise times, a PCB is no longer a collection of copper traces, but a distributed electromagnetic system. Successful design isn’t about routing signals anymore; it’s about engineering transmission lines, preserving uninterrupted return‑current paths, and controlling the resonant structures that naturally form within the multilayer PCB.

More Than a Field Trip: Young Students Step into the World of Electronics and Semiconductors

05/13/2026 | Michigan Tech Electronics Hub
The energy is electric at Michigan Technological University as 164 fourth graders from Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula trade their traditional desks for a day of high-tech exploration. The students are here to pilot Stories & Semiconductors, a new educational series. By following the adventures of characters who solve problems through electronics, young students don’t just read about technology; they build it themselves.

Meet Emerging Engineers: Patrick Owen and Eric Mickenbecker, Summit Interconnect

05/05/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
Patrick Owen and Eric Mickenbecker both work for Summit Interconnect, and are in their second year of the Global Electronics Association’s Emerging Engineer Program with mentor Brian Chislea. They stopped by the I-Connect007 booth at APEX EXPO and shared a bit of their story with me. Patrick has worked at the Hollister, California, plant since 2018, while Eric has been at the Chicago site since 2023. Like many of their peers, they came to the electronics industry from different paths, but are both excited about making an impact.

A Mic, a Tiny Cam, and the Show Floor: The Story Behind 'Take the Mic!'

04/23/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team
I-Connect007’s Take the Mic! program at APEX EXPO 2026 in Anaheim is proving to be a must-watch feature for this year’s event coverage, as we invited company representatives to participate in a sponsored conversation about their businesses and products in a whole new way: in front of a camera at their booths. While our managing editors and guest editors were conducting slightly longer Real Time with… APEX EXPO interviews in our booth, three staff members and guests acted as roaming reporters, conducting short, prearranged interviews with several companies exhibiting on the show floor.

Don’t Call It Ground, Call It Return

04/09/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics Association
If you’ve studied electrical or computer engineering, or have just read an electronics schematic, circuit diagram, or other application notes, you've likely seen the term “Ground,” often abbreviated GND. This is used in school and during the teaching of electronics circuit analysis to indicate a reference or zero-voltage node for circuit analysis. It is also taught that there is no current in GND since the voltage is zero. These are assumptions made for the purpose of simplifying the introduction to circuit analysis.
