Course Overview
This course introduces the engineering problem solving techniques and the processes for the design and manufacture of electronic appliances. The design of a printed circuit board using Electronic Design Automation is undertaken. Basic electrical and mechanical hand assembly methods including: component and wire soldering, component mounting, interconnect wiring, and cable harnessing are used to construct a DC Power Supply. Functional testing is performed to demonstrate the completed unit complies with its product specifications.
