This practical 1-hour course will acquaint the student with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology. A PCB provides a means to 'mount' and 'interconnect' electronic components. Designing and manufacturing PCBs is a complicated endeavor with many opportunities for innovations as well as mistakes. Since products are constantly becoming more electronic in nature, it is likely more and more applications will require PCBs. Therefore, it is beneficial for engineers of all disciplines to be acquainted with the basics of PCBs.

There will be a quiz at the end of this course.
