Engineers make decisions every day that impact manufacturing. Make sure it's a positive impact by introducing the key concepts, tools, materials, and processes critical for engineers to succeed in electronics assembly.

Help your team enhance product reliability, reduce rework and scrap, and ensure customer satisfaction. This comprehensive overview of process control methodology will empower technicians and engineers to utilize the IPC-A-610 Standard and its associated Handbook to consistently meet acceptance criteria throughout the assembly process.

A comprehensive overview of process control methodology including how to utilize the IPC-J-STD-001 Standard and its associated Handbook to consistently conform to acceptance criteria throughout the assembly process.

This Inspection of Electronic Assemblies: Introduction course trains participants to perform "incoming inspection" using the essential tools, materials, and processes that deliver consistent quality products. Completion of this course delivers a professional level of proficiency in acceptability standards, inspection methods and tools, documentation, and component characteristics. 

Onboarding manufacturing engineers new to the electronics industry can be a daunting task. What if you had a self-paced course that provides a comprehensive overview of the roles and responsibilities of manufacturing engineers in our industry? IPC worked with industry subject-matter experts and instructional designers to create an introductory course that takes approximately 3-1/2 hours to complete. In addition to understanding the role, participant…

A comprehensive overview of the stencil printing process for a manufacturing engineer. Participants will learn how to select and store solder pastes & adhesives. They will also learn how to create and maintain stencils, the function of the stencil printer, as well as how to set up the stencil printer for a new product introduction, or NPI, run.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the surface mount assembly process including information on component considerations, selecting and setting up pick and place machines, and the reflow process. Participants can take this content-specific course to learn more about the role of manufacturing engineers regardless of company size and industry sector.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of component preparation, tool selection, manual component insertion, and automated component insertion in electronics assembly with through-hole components. Participants can take this content-specific course to learn more about the role of manufacturing engineers regardless of company size and industry sector.  

How solder alloys are expected to perform in harsh environments will be summarized. Participants are encouraged to bring their own selected systems for deliberation.

This course aims to enhance product reliability and maintain high production yields by offering comprehensive insights into solder joint voids. We will explore the origins of these voids, understand their causes, and analyze their impacts on solder joint efficacy and overall product dependability.
