Electronic & Photonic Packaging Division

The Electronic and Photonic Packaging Division (EPPD) of ASME has as its objectives international cooperation, understanding, and promotion of efforts and disciplines in Microelectronics, Photonics, Microwave and Microelectromechanical Systems Packaging Engineering. The Division is concerned with all design and engineering aspects related to theoretical (analytical and computer-aided) and experimental problems and results associated with the application of methods and approaches of engineering and applied mechanics to the analysis, design, manufacturing, testing and operation of microelectronics, optoelectronics and photonics components, devices, equipment and systems.
