As many of our readers know, ATS does alot of education in the thermal engineering space. Many of you have been to our free webinars and can atest to the quality of the information and how useful it is. Here’s what some of you have been saying to us:

“I enjoy your webinars. I usually don’t catch them live but view the archived versions (very helpful with schedule conflicts). I also attended one of Dr. Azar’s thermal management classes and was very impressed with his and your company’s work.”

“I really value the knowledge that is shared within the thermal field by ATS”

“Thanks again to you and Dr. Azar on a nicely done Webinar on Thermal management overview.”

“Really appreciate you putting on the webinar series. Thanks!”

Well how about a whole day of thermal engineering training? We’ve got one lined up on October 4, 2011 at The coolingZONE Summit October 4 – 6, 2011. Your speaker will be Dr. Kaveh Azar and here is the syllabus:

1. Fundamentals of Electronics Cooling what it is; why it needs to be considered; how it is approached and what needs to be considered
2. Required Calculations in Thermal Management a set of calculations and respective procedures for analytical modeling of components, boards and systems
3. Effective Characterization: The Role of Measurement in Thermal Management basic principles of measurement and proper practices for temperature, velocity, pressure and heat flux
4. The Role of Software in Thermal Management: CFD Simulation understanding the fundamentals of CFD simulation and reviewing the best practices in modeling electronic components, boards and systems
5. Heat Sink Design and Thermal Interface Selection a review of the heat sink design process and the role of thermal interface material in cooling of electronic components.
6. Fan Characterization and Its Deployment in Electronic Systems a review of fan types, their characteristics and best deployment practices, including fan characterization.
7. Vapor Chamber and Jet Impingement For Thermal Management of High Power Electronics use of vapor chambers in electronics cooling, along with jet impingement characteristics and its heat transfer benefits/shortfalls
8. The Salient Features of Market-Developed Cooling Solutions cooling solutions that have been developed across the electronics industry, from vacuum tubes to todays sophisticated electronics.

According to the coolingZONE Summit web site:

The 11th Annual coolingZONE Business and Technology Summit is being held October 5-6, 2011 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel located on the historic Charles River that separates the cities of Cambridge and Boston. Cambridge is major hub for high technology and business education, including MIT and Harvard University.
