Tech Nexus: Networking Event & Expert Talk on PCB Design Challenges and AI with Zachariah Peterson
Join us to learn about the ins and outs of printed circuit board (PCB) design challenges and the profound impact of AI technology on the PCB design process. PCBs serve as vital components in an array of digital devices, including laptops, robots, mobile phones, aircraft, and satellites.
During this event, we will delve into the complexities of PCB board and how to mitigate some of the challenges while designing. Our esteemed guest and presenter, Zachariah Peterson, will offer invaluable insights into these challenges, providing attendees with a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of PCB design.
Additionally, the event will feature separate booths for participating organizations and our distinguished guest, providing students with the opportunity to engage with industry experts, gain insights into their respective organizations, and establish meaningful connections. Attendees are encouraged to interact, ask questions.
Following the event, attendees will embark on an exclusive tour of the PCB Lab located at the University of Windsor's C.E.I building (2nd Floor). Here, participants will have the unique opportunity to observe firsthand the manufacturing equipment and various stages involved in the production of PCB boards, further enriching their understanding of PCB fabrication.
