IPC’s Advanced PCB Design Concepts Training Course
January 19, 2024 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The Advanced PCB Design Concepts course, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. EDT March 18 to May 15, 2024, with virtual classes held on Mondays and Wednesdays, will start with the design of HDI and advanced packaging concepts. This will be followed by embedded component design and the students will see how concepts from HDI are used in the implementation of embedded components. Next, concepts necessary for the design of wearable electronics and how the use of concepts from HDI and Embedded are necessary to achieve the small size and light weight of wearable electronics.
The course covers the skills necessary to create IPC-compliant PCB designs with:
- Advanced or complex packaging
- Reduced available board area
- Non-orthogonal placement and routing
- Non-standard board outline geometry
- Non-standard board mounting
- Advanced board materials
- Embedded components
- Cavities to reduce the overall volume/skyline of the design
- Human interface/wearable technology

Driving Sustainability in PCB Design
04/24/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Filbert (Fil) Arzola is an electrical engineer at Raytheon. He’s smart, entertaining, and passionate about PCB design. As it turns out, he’s also passionate about “Mother Earth,” as he calls her. Born and raised in Southern California, he freely admits that he turns the water off when he brushes his teeth and yells at his brother for throwing batteries in the garbage. But when looking at the issue of sustainability and PCB design, he urges his audiences to ponder what sustainability looks like. Can PCB designers, he asks, make any impact on sustainability at all?
Real Time with... IPC APEX EXPO: Silicon Geometry's Signal Integrity Impact on PCBs
04/24/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007At IPC APEX EXPO 2025, Kris Moyer addressed the importance of understanding the impact of silicon geometry reduction on signal integrity and PCB performance. Kris says signal integrity considerations are necessary for so many designs today, regardless of clock frequency. He discusses valuable insights from attendees regarding embedded resistor technology and the effects of radiation on smaller silicon features in aerospace applications.
Recognizing the IPC Committee Volunteer Awards in 2025
04/24/2025 | Patty Goldman, I-Connect007In 2023, IPC created two new awards to honor standards development committee volunteers: The Hillman-Lambert Award for Volunteer of the Year and the Kessler-Goldman Award for Committee Leader of the Year. The awards were named after Hall of Fame members whose service to standards development is well-known and who have demonstrated the skills and principles that the awardees should also have.
