If you search “internship” on LinkedIn, you will probably see the same things over and over again. The first day picture. The “excited to start this new chapter”

When I received my internship offer from Indium Corporation, one of the first things I did was open LinkedIn and see if I had any mutual connections at the company. I found exactly one person. I will

Beginning my internship at Indium Corporation has been an exciting and rewarding experience. Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new, whether it is developing a technical skill,

Introduction When stepping headfirst into this internship, I had no idea what to expect. I have never had a true engineering internship in a full office setting before. When applying at the

Coming into this summer at Indium Corporation, I had a few key goals in mind to make the most of this internship. So far, technical goals, such as developing new lab skills and obtaining a greater

Eating is necessary to live: it is one of the simple truths of being a human. Yet, there is more to meals than just basic survival. Sharing a meal with someone is one of the more common sources of

Beach Balls & Gelato: Building Connections and Facilitating Career Growth Pt. 1 Let me start off by laying this out – one of the most important experiences you can have while in college is not

Folks, Let’s check in on Megyn Woodley as she helps Andover Electronics solve their response-to-pause problem… Megyn Woodley had performed response-to-pause experiments on the solder paste that

Megyn Woodly had just finished a three-day audit of Andover Electronics Assembly’s four assembly lines. She felt the factory was well organized, run with high first-pass yields, and quite good

In Part 2, we outlined materials challenges that can impact robotic soldering performance. In Part 3, we shift to product solutions and emerging innovations—highlighting how cored wire performance

In Part 1, we covered how robotic soldering evolved, and why materials quality is a major driver of process stability and precision. In Part 2, we focus on common materials-related issues that can

Robotic soldering has evolved from a productivity upgrade into a precision requirement—especially as electronics become smaller, denser, and require shorter production cycles. In Part 1 of this

Folks, In my last post, we explored the dawn of electricity and the early days of radio. Now, we move further along the history of electronics timeline to see how everyday consumer products forced

Folks, My interest in the history of electronics was piqued when I attended a mid-1990s lecture by Noble Laureate Arno Penzias on the same topic. Penzias was a co-discover of the Cosmic Microwave

Silver prices are escalating rapidly, consistently trending upward. If you manage a bill of materials (BOM) for electronics manufacturing, you understand precisely how this volatility impacts your

Manufacturing modern electronics often feels like a balancing act—literally. Assembly tilt and uneven coplanarity are persistent headaches that compromise solder joints, leading to weak connections

This is not a diamond. Can you believe this crystal contains gallium? Yes, this is a garnet crystal of gadolinium gallium, commonly called GGG, with the chemical formula Gd3Ga5O12. GGG crystals are

The discussion below leans into technical language and uses terms commonly established in quantum mechanics and semiconductor physics. Quantum dots are one of the clearest real-world examples of

Looking back on my internship with Indium Corporation, one of the most significant lessons I’m taking with me is the importance of understanding how all the pieces of a team fit together. Long-term

Professor Patty Coleman was in her office at Ivy University contemplating a truism. Both she and her husband Rob worked at Ivy U, but they couldn’t afford to send their twin sons

Ivy University Professor Patty Coleman was at Simon Pearce Restaurant, having a solo lunch and relaxing as she watched the beautiful waterfall at the restaurant. As she enjoyed their signature
