Hands on PCB Fabrication of Cloud Connected Devices

Isaac Ehrenberg, Joshua Siegel

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions

Have you ever wanted to design and build your own electronics, but lack the time, money and equipment to figure it all out? In this course, you will learn the principles behind Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, fabrication, and wireless connectivity, as well as gain experience designing and assembling boards. Students will learn the basics of designing PCBs in EAGLE, get to set up a pick-and place machine, and learn about reflow and hand soldering of surface mount components. Members of the course will leave having built and programmed simple Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices over four two-hour sessions. Enrollment limited to 10 students.
