Chapter Activity
Technical Exchange and Educational Development - The structure of chapter meetings vary by location. Most chapters routinely have roundtable discussions, facility tours, and technical presentations on hot topics in the PCB design world including: DfM, EMI, RFI, High Speed Design, Ultra Fine-pitch Design. Some chapters have formed Designer Certification study-groups to help prepare their members for the PCB Designer Certification exam.
To join any one of these chapters, you must be a Designers Council Member.
