Student Circuit Board Design and Manufacturing
While all electrical engineering students are taught extensively in how various electrical components operate, it is difficult for interested students to attempt to manufacture their own projects. In order to gain a greater understanding of the process taken to design and manufacture professional circuit boards, I’ve spent the last two years building them into my own personal projects. This paper documents multiple projects over two years, detailing steps taken in the design and manufacturing process. It also outlines lessons that can be taken from difficulties in the design process, allowing for future students to avoid making similar mistakes.
