Participan ts will gain practical exposure by designing their own PCB using EasyEDA a nd fabricating it using the toner transfer method.\n\nNo prior experience is required for this event.\n\nWhat Participants will learn:\n\n- PCB sche matic design\n- PCB layout using EasyEDA\n- Gerber file generation\n- DIY PCB fabrication using FeCl₃ etching\n- Component placement and soldering \n\nAgenda: \n- The workshop will commence with a brief welcome and introd uction\, outlining the objectives of the Hands-on PCB Design & Fabrication Workshop and its significance in practical electronics\, embedded systems \, IoT\, and hardware development.\n- An introductory session will be cond ucted to familiarize participants with the fundamentals of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)\, including their role in modern electronic systems and adv antages over conventional prototyping methods such as breadboards.\n- Part icipants will be introduced to the complete PCB design workflow\, covering stages such as requirement analysis\, schematic design\, PCB layout\, Ger ber file generation\, fabrication\, and assembly\, providing a holistic un derstanding of the PCB development process.\n- A detailed introduction to EasyEDA\, an online PCB design tool\, will be provided. Participants will be guided through the platform interface\, project setup\, and essential f eatures required for circuit design.\n- A hands-on session on schematic de sign will be conducted\, where participants will learn to add components\, establish electrical connections\, and develop a functional circuit desig n. Emphasis will be placed on correct design practices and avoiding common errors.\n- In the subsequent session\, participants will be introduced to PCB layout design\, including footprint assignment\, component placement strategies\, routing techniques\, and design rule considerations. The proc ess of generating Gerber files for manufacturing will also be demonstrated .\n- The workshop will further include a practical demonstration of PCB fa brication using the toner transfer method. Participants will observe the p rocess of transferring circuit patterns onto a copper-clad board\, chemica l etching using Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃)\, and post-processing steps such as cleaning and drilling.\n- An overview of component placement and solde ring techniques will be provided\, enabling participants to understand the assembly of electronic components onto the fabricated PCB and basic testi ng procedures.\n- Throughout the workshop\, emphasis will be placed on han ds-on learning\, practical implementation\, and understanding real-world h ardware development practices.\n- The workshop will conclude with an inter active discussion and query resolution session\, allowing participants to clarify doubts related to PCB design\, fabrication\, and tools used during the workshop.\n- Finally\, the session will end with a summary of key tak eaways\, feedback collection\, and instructions for further learning and a pplication of PCB design concepts.\n\nBldg: Department of Electronics Engi neering\, HBTU East Campus\, Nawabganj\, Kanpur\, Uttar Pradesh\, India\, 208002\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/550522 LOCATION:Bldg: Department of Electronics Engineering\, HBTU East Campus\, N awabganj\, Kanpur\, Uttar Pradesh\, India\, 208002\, Virtual: https://even ts.vtools.ieee.org/m/550522 ORGANIZER:ajeetkumar3010@gmail.com SEQUENCE:217 SUMMARY:Hands-on PCB Design Workshop URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/550522 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The IEEE Communications Society Student Br anch Chapter (SBC11519A)\, HBTU Kanpur\, is organizing a "Hands-on PCB Des ign Workshop" for the session 2025&ndash\;26.</p>\n<p>This workshop is des igned to take participants through the complete lifecycle of hardware deve lopment&mdash\;from conceptualizing a circuit to building a functional Pri nted Circuit Board (PCB).
