Status of the CPMT Technical Committees
Phil Garrou - CPMT Technical VP
After a few years of updating and renovation, I thought it would be good to review the status of the CPMT technical committees with you the membership.
We currently have 18 active technical committees. In the last two years 9 new Chairs have taken over. We are truly International in scope with 3 committees being chaired from Europe and one from Japan.
From the CPMT web page (https://www.cpmt.org/tc/index.html
) you can see that we are organized in four distinct areas
:
Core technologies; components and devices; packaging and process
and manufacturing. From this page you can jump to the individual
web pages for the TCs. Although we try to make sure these are
continually updated, you will see that some groups are better
at this than others.
