Elect Circuit Fab & Eval Lab

Catalog description

This laboratory course teaches students to use Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software to create the needed documents to fabricate Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). The students will create parts in a component library, circuit schematics, PCB layouts, and apply Design Rule Checking. The needed files will be generated and orders place to fabricate the designed PCBs. Students will apply soldering technics to assemble the boards after they are fabricated and will troubleshoot any problems identified. The students will use standard lab equipment to evaluate the performance of the assembled PCBs.
