PCB DESIGNING WORKSHOP

This report summarizes the highlights of a PCB Design Workshop which was 
held from 21st to 24th December. The workshop was attended by 120 participants 
from the electronics and communication department. It focused on the 
fundamentals of PCB design. Participants were given hands-on experience in 
designing and fabricating a PCB. 
The workshop began at 10 A.M with an introduction to the fundamentals of PCB 
design, including an overview of the various materials that can be used in PCBs. 
It was divided into several sessions, each focused on a different aspect of the PCB 
design. 
Attendees were introduced to industry-standard PCB design software. They 
learned how to use the software to create a PCB layout, including how to place 
and route components. This session covered the various design constraints and 
considerations involved in creating a functional and manufacturable PCB. 
Participants learned about the importance of clearances and tolerances, and 
routing constraints. They also learned about the impact of different PCB materials 
and technologies on design. 
 Everyone was given a copper plate and asked to shine the plate 
using sand paper. This was followed by a process called ironing where the circuit 
design is imprinted on the copper plate. The paper with the design on it is placed 
on top of the plate and pressed with iron till the paper turns black. Then a neat 
design of the circuit was imprinted on the copper plate. 
After the ironing process the copper plate was dipped in ferric chloride for about 
an hour. Ferric chloride is a corrosive, acidic chemical compound that will eat 
away all copper on the board that is not protected by the markers ink. 
. 
This process was followed by drilling. The drilling process in a PCB design 
workshop is a critical step in the PCB fabrication process. In this step the holes 
are drilled into the PCB board where components such as capacitors, through hole 
components and resistors will be placed. 
Soldering process was followed by drilling. This process is used to join two 
pieces of metal together by heating them to a temperature at which a filler material 
melts and flows into the joint. Hand soldering is the most common method used 
in PCB design workshops. It involves using a soldering iron to heat the joint and 
solder wire to create the bond. The soldering iron is typically a handheld tool with 
a heated tip that is used to melt the solder, and the solder wire is composed of a 
mixture of metals, usually tin and lead. After finishing all the stages participants 
were able to make a PCB on their own. 
Attendees were introduced to the PCB fabrication and assembly process, 
including the different steps involved, such as ironing, drilling, lamination and 
soldering. They also learned about the importance of testing and inspection in 
ensuring that the final PCB is functional and free of defects. 
In conclusion, the PCB design workshop provided valuable insights and handson experience for participants to understand the various stages and tools involved 
in designing a printed circuit board. The workshop covered a range of topics from 
schematic design to layout and fabrication, and participants were able to learn 
about the importance of proper design practices and the impact of component 
placement and routing on the performance and reliability of the final product. The 
hands-on lab sessions enabled participants to apply the theoretical concepts 
learned during the workshop and to gain experience using industry-standard PCB 
design software. Overall, the workshop was a great opportunity for participants 
to gain a deeper understanding of PCB design and to develop the skills needed to 
design their own PCBs
