As the global leader in standards, training, and certification for the electronics industry, IPC is pleased to announce an array of upcoming online instructor-led courses this August. These courses are designed to equip professionals with the latest skills and knowledge required to excel in the ever-evolving field of electronics manufacturing and design. Whether you want to deepen your expertise in PCB design and manufacturing, understand the intricacies of intermetallic compounds, or learn about counterfeit part mitigation, IPC has a course tailored for you.
PCB Troubleshooting & Defect Analysis
Starts August 5
This four-week course will provide in-depth insights into identifying and resolving common issues in printed circuit boards (PCBs). Participants will learn to diagnose defects, understand failure mechanisms, and apply troubleshooting techniques to ensure optimal PCB performance. Ideal for quality control engineers, technicians, and anyone involved in PCB manufacturing, this course is a must for those seeking to enhance their troubleshooting skills and reduce defect rates.
Reliability of Electronics: The Role of Intermetallic Compounds
Starts August 6
This intensive one-week course focuses on the role of intermetallic compounds in the reliability of electronic assemblies. Participants will explore intermetallic compounds' formation, properties, and impact on solder joints and overall electronic reliability. This course is essential for professionals in reliability engineering, materials science, and quality assurance looking to deepen their understanding of how intermetallic compounds affect the longevity and performance of electronic products.

Why You Need to Take This New ‘Semiconductor Essentials’ Course
08/26/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamRecently, Andy Shaughnessy and Nolan Johnson met with Soo Lan Cheah, the developer of a new IPC course geared toward PCB manufacturing professionals who have little to no knowledge about semiconductor manufacturing. With her background in PCB and IC design, Soo Lan brings a circumspect vision of these disciplines and how they are inter-related. You don’t need to know a lot of math to take this course, and you’ll come out with a much better understanding of the whole silicon-to-systems approach.

A Great Recipe: Collaboration, Motivation, and Design Classes
07/17/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007John Watson, CID, is a professor at Palomar College near San Diego. John teaches a basic PCB design class and an advanced class, and graduates from these classes are ready for their first PCB design job. These appear to be the only classes of their kind in the U.S., and as more designers retire, the demand for classes like this will continue to rise. I recently spoke with John and one of his students, Mehdi Kacem, a junior embedded systems engineer intern at Avempace in Tunisia. In this interview, Mehdi explains how his desire to collaborate and his motivation to succeed helped him get the most out of John’s courses.
