Description
As the engineering industry starts to scale towards greater complexity, many engineers face the problem of meeting the requirements to cater to both private and government agencies. The ESD Awareness and Control Training course will equip engineers and technicians to focus primarily on problems, engineering design and corrective measures to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharge. This course will focus on delivering different levels of perception, allowing engineers to identify and eliminate the threat from non-conductive materials and activities which create static electricity and ESD. Engineers attending the course will be able to benefit through having a greater understanding of topics such as ESD components and control, grounding and testing, ESD handling and transportation. If handled incorrectly, ESD can damage sensitive components on your board, delete data or even cause a fire if you're working in a flammable environment. To protect against potential damage or disaster, it's essential you establish safe ESD control procedures in the workplace. Based around IPC DVD-54C ESD Control guidelines, this introductory course covers all the basics of ESD components, control, testing, safe handling and storage. You will get to learn Introduction to static electricity and ESD, Levels of perception and creating ESD, Conductors, insulators and dissipative materials, ESD sensitive components and control, Personnel, grounding, wrist straps and shoe grounders, Testing, Identifying and eliminating the threat from non-conductive materials in the work area, Activities that create static electricity and ESD, and ESD safe handling, storage and transportation procedures.
