IPC Training Course on PCB Design for HDI and Advanced Packaging
September 15, 2022 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
IPC will be holding an online training course on printed circuit board (PCB) design for HDI and advanced packaging. This course will provide the skills necessary to create PWB/PBA designs that require advanced or complex packaging—including boards with limited board area that must comply with IPC standards and require non-orthogonal placement and routing; non-standard board outline geometry; non-standard board mounting; and advanced board materials.
Taught by an IPC-certified industry expert, the six-week program—to be held from October 27 to November 23 (every Mondays and Wednesdays at 11:00 am to 1:00 pm)—utilizes interactive webinars, on-demand recorded class sessions, job-specific exercises, and team projects to facilitate mastery of the key concepts required by circuit board designers.
This course is ideal for individuals who need further experience with packaging and routing challenges involved with modern high density, reduced board area, and complex geometry designs.
Upon completion, participants will be able to compress circuit topology while maintaining circuit performance; understand the trade-off of advanced PCB materials; define a board stackup that take implements micro-vias; define and implement non-standard (non-orthogonal) parts placement and routing; and define non-standard PCB mechanical retention and keep-outs.

IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Patty Goldman
11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

This condensed document presents a comprehensive overview of the current challenges in Europe’s electronics manufacturing industry and shares actionable steps to help the EU achieve a stronger, more autonomous ecosystem.
Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
