Soldering is a critical skill for all EE's and really enables you to take
your project to the next level by getting off the breadboard. At this
seminar, students will practice through hole soldering with a traditional
soldering iron by assembling a PCB business card (which they also get to
keep)! More advanced methods like surface mount soldering will also be
demonstrated. Other topics to be discussed include considerations for
designing easily solderable PCBs and techniques for soldering things in
mass production.
