The authors of these papers will present their research at a free BUZZ session on Thursday, March 1, 2012, at IPC APEX EXPO® in San Diego.
Open to all accredited U.S. and international colleges and universities with a strong focus on the electronics industry, this year’s competition welcomed entries from around the world. The paper abstracts were judged by an IPC blue ribbon committee.
“It was an extremely difficult decision as all the entries were exceptional,” says Greg Munie, Ph.D., IPC conference director. “I believe the top three selections are innovative and exemplary of the high level of research being conducted at the world’s academic institutions, with great promise as valuable contributions to our industry.”
In addition to being recognized by the industry at IPC APEX EXPO, each winning author will each receive an airfare allowance to travel to IPC APEX EXPO, free hotel accommodations and a free technical conference registration.
Industry professionals may register online for free exhibit hall registration and attend this session and other educational BUZZ sessions. IPC APEX EXPO is the largest exhibition in North America for printed board design and manufacturing, electronics assembly and test.
