Professional Development Courses
Welcome!
The 2022 ECTC Professional Development Courses are a good representation of topics of interest for Electronic Packaging Technologists. Each of these courses are presented by world-class experts, enabling participants to broaden their technical knowledge base. As in previous years (prior to pandemic) there will be 16 courses, each 4 hours long presented on the 1st day of the Conference. A list of these professional development courses is provided below. As a potential attendee please review them so that you select the specific course or courses that you would like to register for. All PDCs are taught on May 31, 2022
