It is the curiosity, work ethics, and values behind people that drive innovation.
An interrelated network of people with skill and the sharing of valuable knowledge
is required to efficiently solve the complexities found in the field of electronics
packaging.
The IEEC is uniquely positioned to house all of the above, and promotes the growth
and development in people, the field, the industry, and the community.
We aim to:
CONNECT industry needs with opportunity for faculty and students through collaborative research
projects.
IDENTIFY PROBLEMS and provide technical solutions to our clients.
TRAIN students and clients on cutting-edge equipment to add value to projects.
EDUCATE students through research.
RESEARCH to simplify and solve the challenges in electronics packaging, integrate AI, and
advance towards Industry 4.0.
Our research facilities will be open for qualified projects that have been approved
by Binghamton University. Please contact us to discuss your needs and to understand
our process as we resume in line with standards set by New York state and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
Our Return to Research subcommittee, in consultation with Environmental Health and
Safety experts and the Public Health Advisory Group, created a set of protocols and
expectations that will govern our return to research.
Please keep in mind that the center is still following the directives to work from
home when possible. The IEEC will continue to provide email support and is open for
consultations via communication tools such as Zoom during our regularly scheduled
hours (8:00am -5:00pm).
You can reach us at ieec@binghamton.edu, and we will put you in contact with the appropriate staff member(s) to answer your
questions/setup an appointment.

BU Day at the Oakdale Mall
Arad Azizi, BU PhD Candidate in Mechanical Engineering, and student team,
On February 22, 2020, Binghamton University hosted it's Annual Day at the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City. The IEEC and students from the Mechanical Engineering
Department demonstrated the use of a 3D Printer and the possibilities of what could
be created with such equipment. Parents and children who stopped by were able to take
home fun 3D printed trinkets.
This event opens the door for the community to have a glimpse of the kinds of research
and programs taking place at BU, as well as inspire children through exposure to different
disciplines that they could potentially pursue in the future.
