Kick Off the New Year With the Winter Issue of IPC Community!
January 15, 2024 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
We’ve compiled the best stories from around the electronics manufacturing industry and packed them into another issue of IPC Community. IPC staff and volunteers work on behalf of the industry to deliver timely and relevant content—from standards updates to important networking events—that impact the work we do each day.
What’s new this time?
- Joe Russeau is a test engineer by day and a cattle farmer by night (or early morning!) blending his interest in electronics with his passion for the land.
- It was a busy event season, and we’ve got reviews from several important events around the world, from the standards work of A-Teams at Gnomeapalooza to the world’s largest electronics show (productronica) and IPC Day Romania, where history meets cutting-edge technology.
- Find out why Shawn DuBravac states that “nearshoring is paving the way for a more interconnected and robust global economy.”
- How are standards created? It starts with a special committee of industry experts who gather as the Technical Activities Executive Committee Global team to get the ball rolling.
The issue also includes upcoming class schedules designed just for you, updates on the latest standards released, profiles on BOSTONtec and American Standard Circuits, and in-depth coverage of the IPC certification process—try 123,000 certifications in one year!
See your friends—and make some new ones— in the pages of IPC Community. Read it here.

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.
