Research of information on SMT technology...

Michael, You can try contacting National Training Center for Microelectronics in Pennsylvania. They are a "for fee" training center, but may be able to supply you with some basic information that would assist your research as a student. Try e-mailing Mr. Tom Green at tjg@mail.nrhm.cc.pa.us

Michael: Surface mounting technology is a broad topic. People make careers focusing on very narrow elements of the technology. I'm certain that writing an overview of SMT would not win you many points from your instructor, because that element of the business is well documented.

To develop a sense of focus I'd suggest that you:

1 Brouse through the SMTnet archives 2 Visit a local manuafacturer. Your instructors can probably make suggestions. 3 Read trade journals like SMT, Circuits Assembly, and other listed in the archives 4 Visit equipment manufacturers. We can suggest alternatives if you tell us a large city near your school.

Good luck
