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.

Who Carries the Risk? A PCB Supply Chain Paradox

06/18/2026 | Jan Pedersen, Engineer and PCB Expert
For as long as I can remember, PCB customers have been encouraged to provide forecasts. Whether discussing standard multilayer boards, advanced HDI designs, or complex aerospace programs, the message has been remarkably consistent: Better visibility creates greater stability. The logic is difficult to dispute. When customers provide forecasts and scheduled orders, PCB manufacturers can plan capacity more effectively. Laminate suppliers can better predict future demand. Material allocation becomes easier, production schedules become more efficient, and the entire supply chain benefits from reduced uncertainty.
