Video Based Manufacturing Courses for Electronics

Abstract

Two product-oriented manufacturing courses, Printed Wire Board Manufacturing and Processes for Electronic Manufacturing have been developed. The mode of delivery is original and unique, pairing manufacturing experts from industry and university faculty to develop video based instructional materials based on real industrial operations and processes. The final product is a new generation of “text books” in the form of video modules for the rapid dissemination of dynamic types of information as encountered in manufacturing. The goal is to educate both defense and commercial sectors to current practices in packaging manufacturing as well as those students who will make up the next work force.
