BANNOCKBURN, IL – IPC launched an electronics assembly training course for engineers.

Electronics Assembly for Engineers starts with an introduction on PCB fabrication and assembly, then covers the basics of through-hole, SMT, and wire harness technologies, and concludes with a review of fundamental topics, including component identification, drawings and specifications, hand soldering, conformal coating, and quality assurance.

Students earn an IPC Certificate of Completion after they complete the 24 hours of course content.         

“Quality products start with a well-trained workforce. This simple idea drove IPC to develop this critical program in collaboration with the electronics industry,” said David Hernandez, vice president of IPC’s Education team. “The combination of industry expertise with our innovative educational approach provides meaningful learning opportunities for engineers to actively engage with the content and master the critical knowledge needed to succeed quickly. This fully online, self-paced program removes barriers to efficient, effective, and engaging training.”

"The early traction we have seen for this solution across all regions speaks volumes to the urgency of the need,” said Sanjay Huprikar, president of Europe and South Asia operations, IPC. “Based on conversations with numerous directors of engineering who assessed the solution, they are positioning EAE as a critical aspect of the overall onboarding process for their new hires and transitioning staff – with companies providing the vital on-the-job training component paired with IPC’s online content providing important knowledge off-the-job to help them succeed quickly.”
