Electronics Equipment Integration and Prototype Building

Overview

COURSE OUTLINE: This course teaches registrants on how to make a working prototype of electronic equipment. Typically most courses have a project component. Beyond demonstrating functionality at a breadboard level, converting it to a viable physical model is not covered in Labs at the UG level. An attempt will be made to layout a system and finally make Drawings that can be used for fabrication in a workshop. Component selection, layout and Assembly will be demonstrated; finally to make a working physical prototype.
