Thermal Management of Electronic Systems

1st-2nd December 2010 - Stokes Institute, Surrey.

The course has been designed to provide electronic hardware designers, mechanical engineers and managers with an understanding of the principles and practice of thermal management. Thermal management has become a critical aspect in the design of contemporary electronic systems. Power dissipation levels have grown due to increased functionality and greater degrees of integration, and careful thermal design is imperative in order to meet today's stringent requirements for reliability. Useful design techniques are illustrated through a set of six practical case studies ranging from portable devices and consumer products to telecommunications rack systems and industrial power sets. Each will include a review of relevant theory and the application of contemporary tools and techniques to achieve a successful thermal design. The course costs £900 for two days.
