I am giving an updated version of my one day workshop on WEEE/RoHS compliant assembly at The Thayer School of Enginnering at Dartmouth on Wednesday, April 12, 2006 from 10AM to 4PM. It will be held in the Jackson Conference Room in Cummings Hall. It is free (including lunch) and is sponsored by Indium Corp and the Cook Engineering Design Center at Dartmouth. If interested contact Judy Durell (judy.durell@dartmouth.edu.) She will give you directions and register you. There will also be a free, top quality handout of the slides.
In addition, there will be a brief presentation on the fascinating history of engineering at Dartmouth, the first professional engineering school in the US.
