Among the broad range of topics covered are:
- surface mount technology (SMT);
- surface mount assembly;
- soldering;
- solders, pastes and fluxes;
- screen printing and liquid deposition;
- conductive adhesives;
- conformal coatings;
- inspection and test;
- packaging and interconnection;
- quality control;
