At its 29th general meeting last week in Bamberg, the FED made Gerhard Gröner an honorary member. Prof. Dr. Rainer Thüringer, Chairman of the Board of the Association for Design, PCB and Electronics Manufacturing, paid tribute to Gröner's 22 years of commitment as a lecturer and his tireless dedication to the goals and values of the association.
With his help, the basic course for PCB designers was developed, which formed the basis for the first official IPC Certified Interconnect Designer (CID) examination. In addition, he was instrumental in setting up the FED training program for designers 'Certified Electronics Designer (ZED)'. Gröner also established the additional training program for certified FED designers at technical and vocational colleges. After serving on the FED board and other committees, he is still actively involved in the management of the Nuremberg regional group and in the project group for recruiting young talent.
