PC Board Manufacturing Project Overview: Learn, Design, Test, and Create

Engage in a comprehensive project to learn about electricity, materials science, and manufacturing PCBs. The project includes building Kelvin kits, exploring electricity concepts, designing, and manufacturing PCBs. Participants will create posters, present their work, and design PCBs for practical use. Assessments include pre/post-tests, quizzes, and poster presentations to showcase accomplishments in the project.

Presentation Transcript

  1. PC Board Manufacturing Kate McDonnell & Cherelle Bishop CSU GK-12 Summer Planning 2011

  2. Overview of Project • September: Introduction to Project • Build Kelvin kit in small groups • October: Lessons in Electricity and Processing Basics • Electricity and Circuits • Materials Science • PC Board Design & “Test” Design • Manufacturing PC Boards & Test Manufacture

  3. Overview of Project • November: Manufacture and test boards for Scott’s class • December: Create posters describing PC Board work • January: Final poster revisions • February: Present posters at E-days

  4. Lesson: Electricity and Circuits • Electricity concepts – current, voltage, power, resistance • Circuits • Circuit Components – resistors, capacitors • Op Amps

  5. Lesson: Materials Science • Basic material properties that we use for PC Boards • Conductors and Insulators • Semiconductors • Why we use the materials we do

  6. Lesson: PC Board Design & “Test” • Basic PCB design • Use ExpressPCB (free software) to design a “test” PCB • Individuals can design “creative” PCBs to print and take home

  7. Lesson: Manufacturing PC Boards • Refer back to Materials Science – we make wires out of copper and need to remove excess • Basic step-by-step guidelines for how to make PC boards • Printing mask design • Transferring mask design • Etch PC boards (using Hydrochloric acid and Copper Chloride) • Neutralize acid and remove mask • Add components, solder, and test connections

  8. Final PCB Project • Design PCB for a group from Berthoud • Get schematic from Berthoud • Create schematic on Express SCH • Send schematic back to Berthoud for final check • Use Express PCB to design PCB mask • Print mask and manufacture board • Solder components and test???

  9. Assessment • Pre/post-test about electricity, materials science, and PC boards • Quizzes following each lesson • Design of test PCB and functional PCB • Create a poster describing the process and the work they accomplished • Presented to class at end of December • Presented at E-days in February
