Indium Corporation’s Andy Mackie, PhD, MSc, Principal Engineer and Manager, Thermal Interface Material Applications, will host an automotive electronics webinar with the Malaysia
chapter of the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS) in observance of IEEE Day 2020 at 9:30 a.m. Malaysia Time on Wednesday, Oct. 14 (9:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 13/2:30 a.m. British Time on Oct. 13).
The evolution of the automobile over the past decade has been faster than ever before, and the 2020s promise even more rapid progress. The changes we will all experience include the nature of car ownership, how the car is powered, increased safety, and driver automation. Each of these changes is only possible with advances in electronics hardware and systems, electronics assembly, and semiconductor packaging. In What’s Driving: Automotive Electronics Assembly and Packaging, Mackie will discuss the impact of these changes on electronics assembly and packaging, and the impact of mission profiles on component and systems level reliability.
