To address this concern, we are launching a scholarship program for women enrolled in universities and colleges. Today, women comprise only 28% of the workforce in STEM fields. Our mission is to provide equal access to all, with specific outreach to women in electronics design to expand the pool of talent. Educators are using the curriculum to introduce PCB design in multiple ways in universities globally, ranging from a prerequisite for EE courses at the University of Pennsylvania to a standalone PCB design course to be launched by MIT. We have taken a unique approach by developing the curriculum needed to teach PCB design and providing free Altium Designer licenses. Our courses take students step-by-step from learning the basics of electronics to designing their first printed circuit boards. Altium Education offers a free Altium Designer student license and curriculum for college and university students interested in engineering and electronics design. In addition to Upverter Education, our most recent initiative, Altium Education, prepares college students to advance to industry-level printed circuit board design and manufacturing careers. Tell us about some of the company’s educational efforts.Ī: Our mission is to attract talent to the field of electronics design, and equip students with the proper skills so that they can enter the workforce and drive the next generation of technology and innovation to a higher level. Here, Rea Callender, Altium’s VP of education, discusses its educational programs and plans for the week of the show. They offer a variety of other educational programs as well, including Upverter classes and a design competition that aims to address environmental change.
At IPC APEX EXPO 2023, Altium will be providing software for the finalists in the IPC Design Competition just as it did last year. The company has been working with colleges and universities for years, providing free seats of Altium Designer for the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers. Altium keeps its eyes on the designers of the future.
