the advanced manufacturing course, comments on the benefits of software proficiency. He explains,
“Integrating both
mach ine programming and facto- ry solutions in my curriculum prepares students for the future of manufacturing in our industry. Our robotics and manufacturing degree graduates will not be hand soldering. We need to attract young talent into our industry by teaching them about the new technologies and digital control tools available to process and manufacturing engineers. ASMPT is as passionate about this as we are and has been instrumental in supplying the tools to ensure hands-on skills development.”
Resources, Research and Results

For ASMPT, which conducts the
CEMA lab, access to a variety of analytical tools available as part of the high-tech facility, aids in root-cause evaluation to enhance development efforts. The univer- sity has deep resources that can help accelerate typical timelines for study design and results. Schake, who is currently work- ing on a new project, discovered an on-campus 3D printing resource, which he capitalized on immediately. “Being able to leverage the
other technology tools available at RIT is invaluable,” shares Schake.” For example, I needed a part for a printing experiment we are designing, sent the CAD file to the engineers in RIT’s 3D lab and had a part printed in a couple of hours. It was brilliant, cost-effective and will enable our work to progress that much faster.”
Education and research are
the center of CEMA’s purpose where, over the last twenty years, more than 300 students have developed the skills required for high-level electron- ics manufacturing positions, major process breakthroughs have been made and the indus- try at large can now access pub- lished results for implementa- tion and improvement. Some of the most recent collaborative work includes:
l Study and Paper: The impact of stencil tension on print quali- ty for miniaturized board designs. lStudy and Paper: Analysis of the influence of water-soluble and no-clean solder pastes on 0402 print alignment accuracy. l Study and Paper: Optimizing understencil cleaning parame- ters for fine-pitch component printing. l Industry Training: SMTA

printing and reflow webinars are conducted regularly to upskill industry professionals. l Veteran Training: Hands-on process training enables under- employed US Veterans to gain entry-level and managerial-level employment at electronics assembly manufacturers. l Workforce Development: 100% track record of student place- ment with top industry innova- tors.
According to Jeff Timms, ASMPT Americas CEO and gen-
eral manager, who was instru- mental in forging this partner- ship many years ago and sits on RIT’s Dean’s Advisory Council, the cooperation has exceeded expectations and there are many promising future endeavors on the agenda. “ASMPT has engineered the
market’s most sophisticated equipment platforms and, now, with the power of AI and digital intelligence, we are pushing those capabilities beyond what anyone thought was possible even five years ago,” he says.
“We are committed to expanding this element of our RIT relation- ship to more holistically prepare tomorrow’s assembly profession- als and broaden our R&D initia- tives, because we believe data acumen and its application are where major efficiency gains will be made.”
