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

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.

Material allocation becomes easier, production schedules become more efficient, and the entire supply chain benefits from reduced uncertainty.
