Dr. Lott:
I am an Electrical Engineering student at Florida Atlantic University, in
Boca Raton, Florida, where I am presently taking a DFM class. My class project
is a paper titled "DFM Considerations for Rigid PCBs in Medical Applications"
and I am currently looking for material on this topic.
I am finding out that because DFM is a philosophy that encompasses things like
DFT, DFF, DFA, DFS, and lately Design for the Environment (DFE), information
on any of these topics is scattered around. I have found some
sources of information, mainly EDN and Printed Circuit Design magazines;
however, I didn't know of the existence of the IPC/EPA Design for the
Environment (DfE) Project Technical Committee. I am going to cover DFE because
the push for green PCBs is forcing designers to use new materials which
have different characteristics than they're used to - new materials are
also being developed.
- What is the IPC/EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) Project Technical
Committee?
- How do I obtain information about this effort? Any related publications?
- Are there any online sources of information for DFE related issues?
- Does any one of the standards organizations, US and abroad, provide a
reference DFE document or is this something that is left up to the individual
companies to develop?
- How do certification programs, like ISO 9000, affect DFE?
Any help or sources of info you or anyone else out there can provide will be
greatly appreciated.

P.S. If there is enough interest I could post a compendium of references,
Internet sites, and other materials after I finish my project.
