Through active participation in IMPI programs, members have the opportunity to expand their education on microwave technology, applications, markets, and problem solutions. A committee representing various special interests develops the program to meet the information needs of all members. In addition to a variety of focussed breakout sessions, the Institute conducts general sessions during the symposium that investigate topics of importance to all members, regardless of technical or market specialty. In addition to the annual symposium, short courses are designed to focus on a specific aspect of dielectric technology. Specific applications topics often include applications development, packaging technology, and product testing and evaluation.
Most courses offer a tutorial format to encourage questions and expand the learning experience.
Having served the information needs of the microwave industry for over thirty years, IMPI has assembled a large collection of microwave and radio-frequency information and publications. Microwave World Microwave World is published three times a year to focus on the billion dollar food and consumer products markets for microwave and RF equipment, accessories, food materials, packaging and related products. Microwave World is written to meet a broad range of information needs of food scientists, product development, and market specialists in the consumer microwave industry. Designed for the information needs of professionals specializing in the research and design of industrial systems and bio-medical applications, the Journal exemplifies the highest standards of scientific and technical information on the theory and application of electromagnetic power. Publications A wealth of technical, market, and resource information is available to IMPI members through the Institute's Publications Department.
