The IPC Excellence in Education award was presented to Janene Stinson, Boeing, at IPC APEX EXPO 2024 in Anaheim, California, in recognition of her significant contributions to workforce development and leadership.
The IPC Excellence in Education award is given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to in workforce development while building a culture of continuous learning within their organization and across the electronics industry.
A senior employee development specialist with the Defense, Space, and Security division at Boeing, Stinson was recognized for developing a fiber optic training course that meets industry standards and received certification to operate as a training center. She also worked with local colleges to establish IPC training for aerospace programs and is a subject matter expert in developing training materials for U.S. Department of Defense contractors. A technical trainer for more than 20 years, Stinson is certified to train for IPC-J-STD-001 Space Addendum, IPC-7711/7721, IPC-WHMA-A-620, and IPC A-610. She currently works to implement IPC training programs in high schools.
“IPC is committed to educating the electronics industry’s workforce,” said John W. Mitchell, IPC president and CEO, “and we are proud to recognize Janene for her important contributions to workforce development.”

IPC, FED Partner for New Design Conference in Vienna
12/12/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineIPC and its German partner FED have teamed up to create a new PCB design conference in Vienna, Austria. The Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC) is scheduled for Jan. 29-30 at the NH Danube City hotel in Vienna. IPC’s Peter Tranitz, one of the show organizers, discussed how this new show came about, pointing out that, unlike many of the regional conferences in Europe, PEDC will host curated, peer-reviewed presentations, not promotional content or product pitches. Will PEDC become an annual event?
Happy’s Tech Talk #35: Yields March to Design Rules
12/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkUltra high density interconnect (UHDI) has many forms, structures, and alternatives, so capturing all the variations and reducing them to design rules has required some departures from traditional IPC design standards. In this column, I’ll be discussing the IPC UHDI design guidelines and standards. The fundamental question is: “Do you need HDI or microvias?”
Closing the Loop: iNEMI Workshop Addresses Circularity Challenges
12/09/2024 | Kelly Scanlon, IPC Lead Sustainability StrategistThe electronics industry faces increasing pressure from consumers and regulators to implement more circular design principles in their products. While some companies lead the way, many grapple with significant knowledge gaps. These include a lack of clear definitions for "circular economy" in the context of electronics, insufficient data, and inadequate training to apply circular principles effectively across product lifecycles. Additionally, there's a pressing need to understand the return on investment (ROI) and other potential incentives for implementing circular principles.
