Workshop on “PCB DESIGN”

To fulfil the Industry goals and requirements the department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in association with DBEATS conducted a one day workshop on “PCB Design” on the 27th of January, 2018 for the second year students of ETC. Total of 55 students attended the workshop.

The workshop started with a motivational and interactive talk on “PCB Design”. The resource people for the workshop were Prof. Flavia Leitao and Prof. Mathilda Colaco, faculty at Don Bosco College of Engineering.

The following contents were covered for the workshop:

• Understanding of the Circuit
• Knowledge of component packages
• Testing the circuit on breadboard
• Drawing circuit layout and transferring mirror image of layout on PCB
• Masking to remove the unwanted copper
• Etching
• Drilling and mounting of components
• Soldering

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

Firstly the students were given brief explanation on the different stages involved in PCB designing using power point presentation.

The Students were trained to read datasheets followed by brief understanding of the different packages (TO-92,TO-220, etc) and also the different types of parts (Through holes and Surface mount) along with the soldering methods (wave soldering and reflow soldering)  for the same.

The students had a hands-on experience in designing the PCB.

The students showed great zeal and enthusiasm in designing the PCB and the satisfaction and joy to see the circuit work was overwhelming. The workshop was a fruitful and a very successful event.
