Paul Wesling received his BS in electrical engineering and his MS in
materials science from Stanford University. Following assignments at
GTE/Lenkurt Electric (component engineering),
ISS/Sperry Univac (bubble memory development, reliability, manufacturing engineering),
Datapoint Peripheral Products (VP - Product Integrity), and Amdahl
(design analysis, mainframe testing, console peripherals), he joined Tandem
(now HP's NonStop Enterprise Division) in 1985. As a member of the development team for advanced IC packaging, he
designed several multi-chip module prototypes, supervised their fabrication,
and tested them. In Tandem's
Education Group from 1993 to 2001, he developed courses on reliability,
managed Tandem's Distinguished Lectures series, and served on education's Technology
Initiative team. He organized a number of advanced technology and professional
skills development courses for his Division and also for the IEEE. He managed a
grant from the National Science Foundation for the development of multimedia
educational modules in the field of IC packaging. Paul retired from HP in 2001, and now serves as the CPMT Society's webmaster as well as Communications Director for the S.F. Bay Area's Council.
Mr. Wesling has published a number of technical and education papers and authored a book chapter. As CPMT's vice president of publications from 1985 through January, 2008, he supervised four archival journals and a newsletter, and oversaw authors for IEEE Press books. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, and received the IEEE Centennial Medal, the CPMT Board's Distinguished Service award, the Society Contribution Award, and the IEEE's Third Millennium Medal. He has organized over 300 courses for the local IEEE chapter in the Santa Clara Valley (Silicon Valley), many of them held at Stanford University (and, more recently, at industrial facilities). He served as scoutmaster of his local Boy Scout Troop for 15 years, is currently Advisor of a High-Adventure Crew, and enjoys backpacking, fly fishing, and amateur radio. He was selected as a torchbearer for the Atlanta Olympics Torch Relay in 1996, based on selection by the local United Way.
