Dr. Hernandez will explain the impact of thermal stress on electronic design, and the ways and reasons to analyze it. A key point in understanding and mitigating this stress is the usage of Reliability Physics Analysis (RPA) and the usage of CAD tools to implement it.

Electronic and mechanical engineers have long lived in separate worlds, with separate tools and languages, and communication between them has often been a challenge. How can we make sure both sides are in sync and can communicate changes efficiently?
