    35: All These Different Reasons Why You Might Want to Do Something

    Chris Gammell, co-host of The Amp Hour podcast and employee at a large industrial electronics company, discusses his new online course, Contextual Electronics, which bridges the gap between academic theory and practical hardware design. He explains the course's structure, which targets advanced Arduino users by teaching them to design, source parts for, and build a 'Bench Buddy' project using KiCad and open-source tools. Gammell details the logistical challenges of running a remote hardware class, including managing global time zones, version control via GitHub, and optimizing for low-cost, low-quantity component sourcing.

    EMS@C-Level 2022 Season, Episode 5 - Carl Hung, Season Group

    Carl Hung, President & CEO of Season Group, discusses how the company is redesigning its business model to handle supply chain disruptions, moving from a pure assembly focus to active design-for-manufacturing and supply chain design. He highlights the critical shortage of electrical engineers needed to create flexible designs that allow for multiple component sources, such as using different pin-count ICs on the same board. Hung also addresses the current market paradox of record-high order books and inventory levels, explaining that inflated demand is driven by risk mitigation rather than actual consumption, leading to NCNR (Non-Cancellable, Non-Rescheduleable) terms that strain EMS margins.
