IMAPS and DPC: 21 Years of Elevating Technical Knowledge

03/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
The IMAPS 21st Device Packaging Conference (DPC) may have taken place at a conference center located down an idyllic desert road showcasing the best of what native Arizona has to offer, but the topics at this conference were anything but laid-back. This important platform for professionals in microelectronics and advanced packaging set the stage for a technology in high demand. Brian Schieman, IMAPS executive director, says the show was organized to demonstrate their commitment to addressing current technological trends and with significant energy directed toward fostering connections within the supply chain.

Speaking the Same Language as Your Fabricator

We do indeed have a failure to communicate; designers and fabricators often seem to be talking past each other, which can lead to jobs being put on hold. We asked Jen Kolar, VP of engineering for Monsoon Solutions, and columnist Kelly Dack to share their thoughts on ways that we can break down the communication barrier between design and fabrication. As they point out, a design kickoff checklist and a solid review process can be invaluable tools in a designer’s toolbox.

The Shaughnessy Report: Breaking Down the Language Barrier

In life and business, you’re either contributing to the problem or the solution. Customers come to you because they have a challenge, a pain point, or a problem that needs solving. The businesses that customers rave about consistently prove themselves to be problem solvers. Adopting a problem-solving mindset isn’t just good for your customers; it’s the key to building loyalty, standing out in the marketplace, and growing your business.

Finding and Training the Next Design Engineers

03/06/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 Magazine
There are a lot of job openings for PCB design engineers, and not enough young people in the pipeline to fill these jobs. How are we going to attract this next generation of design engineers to this industry, and what’s the best course of action for continuous training of these EEs? I asked Bill Hargin, founder and “director of everything” at Z-zero, to share his thoughts continuous training and what the future may hold for design engineers of the future.
