IPC Asia Connects With Local Companies Like TTM to Improve Workforce Development
December 29, 2023 | Glenn Gong, IPC AsiaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Top Chinese students interning with the most influential electronics manufacturers in China through the IPC Asia Talent Development Program are producing stellar results. Tom Edman, president and CEO of TTM Technologies—and an IPC Board member—has provided strong support for the IPC Asia Scholars Program, in particular, during its initial stages.
IPC Asia Scholars Program
The IPC Asia Scholars Program is part of the larger IPC Asia Talent Development Program, which was established in 2020 and has been committed to cultivating and developing industry professionals. The program not only provides internship opportunities and professional training for students, it establishes partnerships with multiple companies and institutions to collectively provide a stronger workforce in the industry.
To foster this more ambitious and capable workforce, IPC Asia partnered with TTM Technologies in October 2020 to jointly advance the IPC Asia Scholars Program. This program aims to connect top students with the most innovative and influential companies in the electronics industry by providing meaningful and challenging internship opportunities for students.
Since its implementation, the IPC Asia Scholars Program has achieved significant results: five sessions with 79 students from more than 10 universities participating. The students came from six regions: Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Dongguan, and Shanghai. They cover more than 20 majors, including electronics, mechanical engineering, computer science, and chemical engineering.

Are Our Stackup Rules No Longer Valid?
12/19/2024 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+Are the stackup rules we used to follow no longer valid? It depends on what you’re designing. Electrical rules change depending on your circuit. Fabrication rules change depending on which fabricator you’re working with. Today, we just have more options, and sometimes, cost is a bigger rule than anything else. If you search online for information about layer stackups, trace widths, and hole sizes in PCBs, you’ll find a variety of resources.
