Hi Genny,
I do not know what your job functions are, but obviously you are electronic packaging.
Your local university and tech schools may be excellent on general stuff, but if you want to improve your understanding in your field you need to get to the IPC meetings for both the tutorials and workshops as well as the committee meetings [they are all open to all comers].
If Design-for-Reliability of solder joints and PCBs is your interest, my workshops give you a good backing on both the fundamentals as well as solution options. For manufacturing issues you cannot go wrong with Ray Prasad, Phil Zarrow, or Bob Willis, on flex take courses by Joe Fjelstad.
In the committees you hear informally about the problems people are having and what works for solutions.
I have been coming to IPC meetings since 1971 and I am still learning.
Regards,
Werner Engelmaier

Subject: [TN] Apex Expo
I am trying, for the 1st time, to convince my co. to send me.? I have never
been.? I feel there is value in going but it is difficult to quantify.
There is resistance, primarily to the travel costs. There has to be some clear
benefit to going there, over top of local learning opportunities, and I am being
encouraged to look for classes at the local university and tech schools to
'better myself', rather than looking to be sent to Vegas.
Any help you can give me to quantify the benefits of Apex?Genny
