TechNetters,

Hello!



When I moved and changed internet service provider Bell Canada killed my Sympatico email account and thus my access to TechNet.  We have moved to Paris (Ontario, Canada, that is) and downsized.  I am still working part time for the High Density Packaging User Group (HDPUG) as a project facilitator. I am also now an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at the University of Waterloo.



I mention the latter because I have a question for this esteemed group.  I am teaching a course on electronics manufacturing this fall, thanks in part to info supplied by Joe Fjelstad, Dr. Ron Lasky and Dr. Michael Mayer.  I am trying to put together a few slides about organizations and events the student should know about. Here is what I have so far:



Standards Organizations

IEC

IPC

ASTM

EOS/ESD Association, Inc.



Associations

IPC

SMTA

CPCA - China Printed Circuits Association

HKPCA - Hong Kong Printed Circuits Association

TPCA - Taiwan Printed Circuits Association

JPCA - Japan Printed Circuits Association

EIPC - European Institute of Printed Circuits

ASM





Consortium

iNEMI - International National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative

CALCE - Computer Aided Life Cycle Analysis

CAVE - Center for Advanced Vehicle and Extreme Environment Electronics

HDPUG - High Density Packaging User Group

Universal Consortium



Major North American Conferences

IPC APEX

ECTC

SMTAI



I would appreciate suggestions that you think I should add to these lists.





Regards,

Bev Christian
