We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

One World, One Industry: Opportunities Abound for Learning at IPC
It’s fall, and students are heading back to school. Will you be joining them? IPC offers many opportunities for continuous learning, enabling you to enrich your career and increase your value to your company.
Courses on IPC’s online learning platform, IPC EDGE, are created by subject-matter experts who respond to the requests from members of the electronics industry by providing video presentations, clear text, detailed instructions, interactive activities, and practice quizzes designed to make even the most complex industry topics easy to understand and master.
The Certified Electronics Program Manager (CEPM) program, which is one popular IPC course, is designed to provide the tools and training needed to ensure clients for life. From the big picture to the smallest detail, program management is a must for success. This new, instructor-led online course combines the educational benefits of live instruction and group discussions with the flexibility and cost savings of e-learning.

The CSE is an organization’s subject-matter professional with a high level of knowledge and understanding of a specific IPC standard or group of standards. The CSE course differs from that of the CIT in that a CIT is expected to train others, whereas a CSE is an internal subject-matter expert.
