Spotlight on PEDC: Filbert Arzola 

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

IPC and FED have teamed up to create a new PCB design conference in Vienna, Austria. The Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC) takes place Jan. 29-30 at the NH Danube City hotel in Vienna. 

Raytheon’s Filbert Arzola is presenting “Engineering and Adapting Model-based PCB Design in Step with Sustainability and Digital Twins” at PEDC. I asked Filbert to discuss what attendees can expect from his class.

Q: Why is your PEDC class important?

A: My PEDC presentation is very important. It takes a deep dive into model-based PCB design engineering and adapting to modernized sustainability and Digital Twins methodologies. We will review and discuss each topic and how they intersect and drive each other.

Q: What can attendees expect from your class?

A: Attendees of my presentation will learn from my 30+ years of PCB design engineering and how the "New Age" of engineering methodologies will improve global PCB design engineering.

Q: What do you hope each attendee takes away from your class?

A: My hope is that each person attending my presentation will better understand that PCB design is not just drafting and autorouting—it is, in fact, engineering. I also hope that everyone will see the importance and responsibility we all share as we innovate and improve our design engineering processes to include the baselines of sustainability and Digital Twins.
