Report on PCB Design and Fabrication

The department of Electronics and Telecommunication (ETC) Engineering of DBCE in association with FiiRE (Forum for Innovation Incubation  Research and Entrepreneurship) conducted a one day Faculty Development Program (FDP) on “PCB Design and Fabrication” on  August 19, 2020. The core objective of the workshop was to equip the faculty members with a set of skills and potentiality to undertake projects in PCB Design. The resource person for the workshop was Ms. Flavia Leitao, Asst. Prof of ETC Dept, DBCE.

The workshop started with an introductory and interactive talk on single and multilayer PCBs, an overview on Soldermask, Silkscreen and the different stages of PCB Design.

The circuit implemented on the PCB was an “Astable Multivibrator”

The faculty members were given a hands-on training on Eagle Software, where the instructor took them step by step through Schematic creation, ERC, BOM generation, Layout design, and DRC.

The Faculty members showed keen interest and enjoyed working on every stage of PCB design and expressed their views that it should be carried forward to do project PCBs and Antenna Design.

The coordinator for the workshop was Asst. Prof. Flavia Leitao.  Mr. Ignatius Dias, Prof. Priyanka Padiyar and Prof. D.S Vidhya were appreciated for all their support and assistance. The Director-Rev. Fr. Kinley D’cruz and Principal- Dr. Neena Panandikar appreciated the efforts of Prof. Flavia Leitao in organizing the workshop and urged the faculty members to take it forward and provide their consultancy services in this domain. The department is proud to work under the leadership of the HOD Dr. Varsha Turkar, whose vision and motivation helps them to chase new boundaries every day. The department is grateful to Mr. D.S Prashant, CEO of FiiRE who provided the opportunity to associate with the team at FiiRE and assist them in PCB design.
