IEEE-CPMT Workshop on Education in Electronics Packaging

Dear Members of the CPMT Switzerland Chapter and Associates On behalf of the Chapter Board, I have the pleasure to invite you to our next Event. It is organized as a workshop where we will address the following topic: ELECTRONICS PACKAGING EDUCATION IN SWITZERLAND. During this summer, the board of the CPMT Switzerland Chapter has run a survey, collecting EP education information from ETH, EPFL and most FHs in Switzerland. The questionaire was asking whether electronics packaging was taught at all, if yes on what topics, at which semester, for how many students, and if practial work was included in the lecture program. The scope of the workshop will be to give the participants a summary of the survey, to present in more details different viewpoints from education and from industry side, and finally to provide a platform for discussions. The goals are to get an overview about the current situation on electronics packaging in Switzerland, to formulate strengths and gaps, and to identify if there is need for change.
