We're very happy to announce that Bogatin Enterprises is now an IEEE Education Partner! . Soon we'll be offering a Professional Development Certification Program that will be available to all IEEE members.  This new distance learning program will have a structured curriculum and will provide enhanced training for all SI Engineers world-wide.  Have you ever taken a class from Bogatin Enterprises?  If so, you'll receive credit toward the cost of your certificate, and you can receive additional credit if you or your company has a current subscription.  . We're still working on the course content, but it will include new video classes, readings, online lectures, our new Hands-on-Labs and, of course, quizzes and a Final Exam.  Professional Development Units are issued by IEEE (based on ANSI standards) and you get the chance to ask your boss for a raise. . We plan to announce the availability of this Certification Program at DesignCon 2009.   Look for updates in our newsletter and Eric's Blog!   What I Learned This Month Be sure to check out my blog to read about the new insights I’ve gained and the new technologies I've heard about from my many colleagues that help solve signal integrity problems. This blog is a forum for me to share some of my new insights collected each month, and a chance for all my fellow signal integrity engineers out there in cyber space to share your questions and insights with me at doctorisin@bethesignal.com. Setting the Standard in SI Training Bogatin Enterprises specializes in making complex signal integrity topics easy to understand while strengthening engineering intuition. Our materials illustrate how rules of thumb, approximations, and commercially available simulation tools can be used to quickly and efficiently solve signal integrity problems. We leverage TDR and VNA instruments with analysis tools to demonstrate how to fully characterize and 'hack' into interconnects to identify their limitations and optimize performance. For 20 years, Bogatin Enterprises has been setting the standard in signal integrity training. Feel free to download a PDF file of our entire product catalog.
