COURSE OVERVIEW

This course drives awareness and solutions to the adverse impact that non-optimal assembly practices and processes have on the product quality and financial success of electronic assembly businesses. A comprehensive perspective on problem issues is developed for the most currently critical electronic assembly process, materials (both existing and emerging), equipment, procedures, and methods. Most importantly, practical solutions are presented. Key issues that consistently result in assembly problems and low yields are identified and resolved. Who Should Attend? This course is intended for Manufacturing, Process, Design, Test and Quality

This is a 2-day lecture and practical “observation” course which teaches students benchmark processes and techniques for PCB assembly.
