Mechanical properties of packaging materials -the need and a strategy for an educational module

This paper discusses the need for a course in thermomechanical behaviour of materials within electronic packaging education programs. Based on the constrains given by existing curricula, the paper attempts to outlime the scope of such a course, which should provide the fundamental academic basis for interdisciplinary work in the field of thermo-mechanical behaviour of electronic assemblies. This paper proposes a strategy and relevant scientific content for making such a course informative and effective. Finally, the paper outlines teaching aids and laboratory modules, which could aid students in electronic packaging to step into the world of mechanics and material science.
