Current IssueOpportunities and Challenges
In this issue, our expert contributors discuss the many opportunities and challenges in the PCB design community, and what can be done to grow the numbers of PCB designers—and design instructors.
Embedded Design Techniques
Our expert contributors provide the knowledge this month that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design. Many design and manufacturing hurdles can trip up designers who are new to this technology.
Manufacturing Know-how
For this issue, we asked our expert contributors to share their thoughts on the absolute “must-know” aspects of fab, assembly and test that all designers should understand. In the end, we’re all in this together.

Savita Ganjigatti: The Spark of Innovation
April 5, 2023 | Patty Goldman, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Savita Ganjigatti, vice president of engineering at Sienna ECAD Technologies, shares how her well-timed suggestion sparked the worldwide phenomenon that is the IPC PCB Design Competition, as well as how well-informed leaders are uniquely positioned to shape our industry’s future. Savita’s recipe for success? Work hard, read widely, and reframe problems as exciting possibilities for innovation.
Savita, congratulations on receiving the IPC President’s Award.
It’s very exciting. I never expected it and I feel very happy.
Please tell me about your involvement with IPC in India and the PCB Design Competition.
I started working with IPC India more than a decade ago. We started with a very small team. We had lot of initial meetings as part of the Technical Advisory Committee. The PCB Design Competition was one very important event that we started way back in 2013. I belong to the design industry and I got to meet some very experienced people from manufacturing and fabrication in the TAC meetings.
Why do you feel it’s important to be a leader, especially with IPC?
Being a leader means you have access to people in the industry, and that’s not always easy. Usually, we just focus on our own work and our own companies, but participating in IPC is very good exposure for meeting other leaders across the globe. Being a leader means you have a say in where people direct their focus. Your decisions help others do so many things in the industry; you help build and contribute to so many different technologies.

The New Chapter: Attracting ‘Generation Green’
03/28/2024 | Hannah Grace & Paige Fiet -- Column: The New ChapterIn the electronics industry, we talk a lot about sustainability in terms of recruitment and retention of the next generation of engineers. But what if the key to sustaining the industry long into the future is through the more common definition of the word? What if, for just a moment, we think about sustainability in terms of the environment and what we as an industry are doing to care for it? Because, if you weren’t aware, Gen Z cares tremendously about the environment and the actions companies are taking to preserve it. Without Gen Z joining the electronics industry’s workforce, we won’t be able to sustain the industry for much longer.
