UP Media Group Inc. (Atlanta, GA) recently announced the winners of the Circuits Assembly 2004 Service Excellence Awards (SEAs) for Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) Providers and Electronics Assembly Equipment, Materials and Software Suppliers.

Participating companies' customers rated each company on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (superior) in five service categories: dependability/timely delivery, manufacturing quality, responsiveness to requests and changes, technology and value for the price.

From a part of each participant's entry fee, a generous donation of $5,000 was made on the their behalf to the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA, Minneapolis, MN) Charles Hutchins Educational Grant. In turn, the $5,000 grant is awarded annually to a graduate-level student pursuing a degree and working on thesis research in electronic assembly, electronics packaging or a related field.

Established in 1997 in memory of past SMTA president and industry colleague Charles Hutchins, the grant is intended for the purchase of technical books and research materials and for participation in conferences related to electronics assembly and packaging, and donations are recognized throughout the year.

For more information on past recipients, current donors and student submissions, and for making donations securely on-line, visit http://www.smta.org/hutchins/hutchins.cfm.

Cosponsored by Circuits Assembly magazine, the Hutchins Grant is awarded each year at the SMTA Annual Meeting during the SMTA International Conference.
