Electroplating and Surface Finish ing for Electronic Applications. This Cday course zeros in on surface fin- ishing as it applies to the manufacture of electronic components, such as printed wiring broad, connectors, and semiconductors. Specific plating pro- cesses, such as continuous reel-to-reel, barrel, rack, and pulse plating are com- pared. Use of the Hull cell and other plating cells to test solutions is cov- ered, as well as tape automated bond- ing packaging. Attendees should have at least high school algebra and chem- istry, or have attended AESF’s Intro- ductory Course. Production engineers and managers, product designers, sales and technical representatives, and those who want to learn about critical surface finishing processes involved in elec tronic manufacturing would ben- efit from attending. Sept. 25-28, Hol- iday Inn Toronto Airport, Toronto; Oct. M-19, Days Inn, Boston, and Singapore; and Oct. 30-Nov. 2, Syd- ney, Australia. Contact American Elec-
