Standard of Excellence: The Future of Fabrication—From Art to Automation

06/24/2026 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of Excellence
In the earliest days of PCB manufacturing, every build was part science, craftsmanship, and prayer. Veteran fabricators could smell a bad batch of laminate before it failed, sense a process drift before it showed up on a chart, and diagnose a plating problem by sight. That human intuition, the art of fabrication, was the foundation of our industry. The next generation of excellence is about magnifying the human touch through intelligent automation, data-driven control, and a digital mindset that ties every process, operator, and outcome together.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

06/19/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
Why do so many students who begin college intending to pursue STEM careers ultimately change direction? According to research highlighted by Malcolm Gladwell, the answer often has less to do with ability than perseverance. That spirit of continuous learning is reflected in my must-reads for the week, from major industry investments and policy developments to conferences, publications, and tools designed to help engineers improve their craft. Be sure to read the June issues of I-Connect007 Magazine and the Advanced Electronics Packaging Digest, which both published this week. They serve as a reminder that innovation depends not only on technology, but also on the people willing to keep learning and growing throughout their careers.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stay Curious, My Friends

06/15/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
I’ve met people in business who act like curiosity is a weakness. They think asking questions makes them look inexperienced or uninformed. They throw around buzzwords and charts. They look serious in meetings, yet hope no one asks them a direct question. Meanwhile, the truly smart people in the room are willing to raise their hands and ask for the explanation. Curious people almost always outperform know-it-alls. Why? Because curious people keep learning. The world changes far too quickly for anybody to stop learning. Especially now.

Memorial Day Office Closure

05/25/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007
Memorial Day is, in my opinion, one of the most meaningful holidays observed in the United States. The holiday began as “Decoration Day,” when communities gathered to place flowers on the graves of fallen Civil War soldiers. Over time, the observance evolved into a national day of remembrance honoring all U.S. military personnel who gave their lives in service to the country. Today, Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May and is recognized as a federal holiday nationwide.
