Current IssueLearning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?
The Designer of the Future
Our expert contributors peer into their crystal balls and offer their thoughts on the designers and design engineers of tomorrow, and what their jobs will look like.

Mentor Webinar April 11: How to Model Thermal Vias
April 2, 2019 | Mentor, a Siemens businessEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
In electronics product design, PCB thermal management that ensures adequate component cooling is important for reliability. Demands for compact designs and reduced costs drive a need for accurate and early evaluation of cooling options during design ideation phase.
Thermal vias offer opportunities to enhance heat dissipation away key components on a PCB. Register now for a new webinar on April 11, 2019, and learn how to model thermal vias quickly and accurately at different stages of PCB design.
Two live sessions are available April 11. Topics include:
- How thermal vias can assist in heat dissipation on a PCB
- How to model thermal vias during development; simple to explicit detailed approaches
- Methods applied to an example model of a component mounted on a PCB with thermal vias
