About IEEE EPS Summer School 2026-SEKU

Theme: "Foundations of High-Density PCB Design: A Stepping Stone to Advanced Electronics Packaging."

PCB design underpins all advanced electronics packaging, yet most Sub-Saharan African graduates lack

practical exposure. This program uses a stepping-stone pedagogy: foundational PCB theory progressing to four

EPS pillars:

• High-Density Interconnects (HDI): Via-in-pad, blind/buried via topologies, and micro-via design rules.

• Signal & Power Integrity (SI/PI): Controlled impedance routing, differential pairs, and decoupling

strategies.

• Thermal Management: Copper pours, thermal via arrays, and simulation-driven heat-path optimization.

• Design for Manufacturing (DFM) via KiCad: Gerber generation, DRC, and fab-house coordinat
