EET 414 - Introduction to Printed Circuit Boards

This course will focus on PCB technology, layout, and construction. Emphasis will be placed on multi-layered PCB technology, schematic capture and circuit board layout using Altium Designer, and actual PCB design and construction using a two-layer milling machine. Advanced PCB technology and manufacturing techniques will also be discussed. Students will be required to use Altium Designer to design and layout their own custom circuit and, at the end of the semester, construct and test their PCB using the University’s milling machine.

Prerequisites: EET 241 or equivalent or instructor permission.

Course Typically Offered: Fall
