The High Density Electronics Center (HiDEC) will host a soldering and surface mount technology workshop 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 14-15 in the AT&T Conference Room at the Engineering Research Center, 700 W. Research Blvd.

The workshop, entitled "Soldering and Surface Mount Technology," will feature a half-day lecture format Oct. 14 that covers relevant concepts and guidance for successful soldering, followed by a half day Oct. 15 for hands-on experience with soldering in the labs. The goal is to introduce attendees to the principles and practice of soldering and surface mount technologies to bridge the gap between coursework and the actual process of operating manufacturing tools.

 The class size is limited due to space and tools available for the hands-on portion, so participants are encouraged to reserve a spot as soon as possible. 

This is a great opportunity to expose newer students to the principles of soldering and surface mount technology. The dates were specifically chosen to avoid conflicts with classes. Anyone is welcome to participate.

Registration fees defray the cost of materials and tool time:

  • $250 for students
  • $300 for staff or non-UA attendees

Snacks and lunch will be provided. Also, the first four registrants will receive $50 off the registration fee. Sign up by emailing Lauryn Adkins (lhyles@uark.edu) or HiDEC (hidec@uark.edu).
