When: 1-6 November 2009
International Test Conference
(ITC), to be held 1-6 November
2009 in Austin, Texas, is the
cornerstone of TestWeek(tm)
events. ITC is the world's
premier conference dedicated to
the electronic test of devices,
boards and systems-covering the
complete cycle from design
verification, test, diagnosis,
failure analysis and back to
process and design improvement.
At ITC, test and design
professionals can confront the
challenges the industry faces,
and learn how these challenges
are being addressed by the
combined efforts of academia,
design tool and equipment
suppliers, designers, and test
engineers. |

On 5
November, IEEE-USA is partnering with the
International Test Conference (ITC) to hold
three career workshops geared to helping
engineers advance in their chosen professional
endeavors. ITC attendees may attend the
workshops for free, and interested engineers in
the Austin area can attend for a nominal fee of
$25.
The first
workshop will focus on using innovation to further
your current career. The second workshop will pull
together a broad panel of experts to explore
issues related to financing an entrepreneurial
effort. At the third workshop, the chair of the IEEE-USA
Consultants' Steering Committee will discuss consulting as
an engineering career.
>>
Register today for either the ITC or for
these three career workshops to broaden your
career horizon.
