KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS The Right Kind of Crazy: A True Story of Teamwork, Leadership and High Stakes Innovation Tuesday, September 24 | 9:00 am - 10:00 am A history-making Ph.D. rocket scientist, Adam Steltzner is recognized as one of NASA’s leading – and most unique – innovators. Adam led and inspired the breakthrough team that invented the ingenious “sky crane” landing system that landed the Mars rover. Adam will lead NASA’s Mars 2020 Project that will gather core samples of Mars for scientific discovery.
Adam Steltzner, Ph.D. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
With a rich and varied background, Adam Steltzner had many of the needed skills to lead the landing team for the Curiosity rover. That said, his team would struggle for almost a decade with design challenges and set backs. How did he keep the team focused and on task? What makes a team gel and enables truly innovative thinking? How do team dynamics drive that process forward or inhibit it? And how can organizational culture create an environment for sustained performance? The challenges he and the team faced and the lessons learned from those struggles can help audiences understand how to better lead their high performing teams, manage innovation and drive towards excellence.
To the Moon and Back Orion’s Next Jump into Deep Space Wednesday, September 25 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am W. Michael Hawes, DSc, is the Vice President Human Space Exploration and Orion Program Manager for Lockheed Martin Space. Dr. Hawes joined Lockheed Martin in July 2011 after concluding a 33-year career with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and was selected to head up Lockheed Martin’s Orion Program Office in 2014.
W. Michael Hawes, DSc Lockheed Martin Space
NASA’s Artemis program has a bold charter to land American astronauts, including the first woman and the next man, on the Moon by 2024. To achieve this feat, the Orion spacecraft has been designed, developed and tested by Lockheed Martin to gear up for our nation’s next giant leap into deep space. Dr. Mike Hawes will provide a behind-the-scenes look at Orion’s development and technology innovations that empower this next generation spacecraft to take astronauts to explore farther than humankind has ever ventured.

Tuesday, September 24 and Wednesday, September 25 Show Floor - Booth 132
The TANGO robotic mower from John Deere offers an intuitive user interface, coupled with advanced magnetic sensing and safety features such as lift sensing and capacitive touch sensing and bump sensing to provide users with a convenient, reliable and easy way to mow their lawn at any time of day, regardless of the weather. By leveraging a boundary wire, the TANGO mows in a random pattern and detects obstacles with 3 axis accelerometer, motor current sensing and complex software algorithm to quietly cut lawns. Users can program their unit for the specific challenges of their yard, including complex layouts with trees and shrubs, and gradients of up to 35%. A powerful Li-Lon battery keeps the TANGO mowing for up to 1 hour (depending upon conditions), and when it does need to recharge, the unit navigates back to its docking station through magnetic sensing. The TANGO is only available for sale in select European markets, but you can see the unit in action on the show floor and speak to John Deere experts about this technology.

FEATURED SPEAKER
>>Career Management: The “How” and the “What” 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Jim Springer, John Deere Show Floor Theater
The technical skills of an engineer are only half the skills required for today’s global market place. The “how” becomes increasingly important as you interact with people from different cultures and with different personalities. Perceptions of how you go about doing your work will be as important as the skills used to solve problems. Jim Springer John Deere
Jim is passionate about helping the next generation find career success. He brings a unique perspective and over 20 years of managerial experience with major manufacturing companies like John Deere and Phoenix International.

PDC09: Solder Joint Reliability – Principles and Practice Monday, September 23 | 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
*Jennie Hwang, Ph.D. H-Technologies Group
The course emphasizes on practical, working knowledge, yet balanced and substantiated with science by outlining the critical “players” of solder joint reliability (e.g., manufacturing process, PCB/ component coating surface finish, solder alloys), and the solder joint reliability fundamentals in fatigue and creep damage mechanisms via ductile, brittle, ductile-brittle fracture. Likely solder joint failure modes of interfacial, near-interfacial, bulk, inter-phase, intra-phase, voids-induced and surface cracks will be illustrated. To withstand harsh environments, the strengthening metallurgy to further increase fatigue resistance and creep resistance, and the power of metallurgy and its ability to anticipate the relative performance will be illustrated by discussing the comparative performance vs. metallurgical phases and microstructure. The question on whether existing life-prediction models can assure reliability will be highlighted. A relative reliability ranking among commercially available solder systems, as well as the scientific, engineering and manufacturing reasons behind the ranking will be outlined. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own selected systems for deliberation.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSES (continued) PDC10: Solder Paste Qualification Using the SMTA Miniaturization Test Vehicle Monday, September 23 | 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
*Chrys Shea Shea Engineering Services
This half-day workshop focuses on solder paste and how to select the best one for an operation using the new SMTA Miniaturization Test Vehicle. Solder pastes have over 20 individual characteristics that must be considered during the selection process. Moreover, some characteristics conflict with each other and the tradeoffs must be carefully considered when determining the best process chemistry in order to avoid surprises on the production line. Many operations delay updating their soldering materials because of the high cost, lost production time, and complexity of the materials. These concerns have been met with a low-cost evaluation kit that minimizes line time, maximizes test efficiency, and demonstrates the tradeoffs in performance characteristics. The kit includes pre-designed PCB boards and components; an active spreadsheet to configure the PCB population, cost and sample sizes; stencil and vacuum board support designs; ODB++ database; placement files; SPI files; step-by-step directions for a 30-print DOE; an SMT soldering reference manual; directions for statistical reduction; and the customizable Score Card, which helps assemblers understand the tradeoffs involved and chose the best possible product. The hardware for the kit is available for purchase from commercial suppliers; the documentation and user files are available for FREE download from a website. This course discusses each characteristic of solder paste, how it impacts the SMT process, how the kit tests it, and how and why the board was designed.

PDC15: Tolerance Mistaken: Impacts of Not Properly Addressing Limitations of Material, Industry Standards and Assembly Process Limitations Sunday, September 22 | 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm
*Dale Lee Plexus Corp.
Electronic assemblies today are smaller, lighter with increased functionality per unit area and/or volume. The rate of new technology adoption is increasing through develop ever smaller packages with finer lead spacing and substrates with finer lines and spaces. However, design methods, industry standards, materials and manufacturing processes utilized during the product development and production process have not progressed to meet these new demands and thus many of the tolerance margins that were considered insignificant and acceptable in the past are now critical to high yield, reliable products. This presentation will highlight issues with today’s electronic designs and impacts when material limitations, industry standards and assembly tolerances are not adequately address during design, PCB fabrication, assembly and test.

Three simple ideas to get your supervisor to approve your attendance: 1. Control processes and reduce defects from the knowledge you gain at the technical sessions and from networking with industry leaders. 2. Increase yield with new materials, equipment and ser vices you can see on the show floor. 3. Become more profitable by applying what you see and learn. Your comapny will be more efficient and make more money!
