Hi Ryan

Welcome to TGAsia and IPC. IPC was founded by people like you for people like you. To progress it's importiamt for designers and practioners to work together & share knowledge, and make things better. I encourage you to participate in activities and I'm confidant your ability will be an asset.

IPC has an interesting history. If you search the website you will find a chronicle (warning: BIG PDF) that is quite interesting and puts things into perspective.

Go to ... www.ipc.org there's all kinds of information there.

Good Luck

Hello TGA,

I recently came upon IPC at the recommendation of a vendor.  I had heard
of IPC before, but it was only in passing and never really looked into
it.  I joined all the lists hoping to learn as much as I can about IPC
and the community.

I am an electrical engineer working in a manufacturing/test engineering
group.  I am pretty new to the EE community.  I graduated about 1.5
years ago from University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a B.S in mathematics
and a B.S. in EE.

If you would like to know more, please feel free to ask.

Regards,
Ryan
