This First-Year-Seminar course will provide a window on the manufacturing science and technology that have enabled miniaturization of electronic printed circuit cards which drive a host of commercial applications such as computers, cell phones etc.
Students will use industrial grade machines in the Electronic Assembly Laboratory to explore the science and technology behind these manufacturing processes and will then assemble and test their own '10 seconds timer' printed circuit card using through hole and surface mount technology.
