The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organized a Value Added Course (VAC) on PCB Design to provide students with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in printed circuit board (PCB) design. The course was conducted to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and industrial practices in electronic hardware development.
The sessions covered the fundamentals of PCB design, including electronic component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, footprint creation, routing techniques, design rule checking (DRC), and Gerber file generation. Students were introduced to industry-standard PCB design software and were guided through the complete process of converting an electronic circuit into a manufacturable PCB.
The course emphasized best design practices such as component placement, signal integrity, power routing, grounding techniques, and PCB fabrication requirements. Hands-on laboratory sessions enabled students to design single-layer and double-layer PCBs for simple electronic applications.
The course was highly interactive, with practical demonstrations, design exercises, and project-based learning. Students actively participated in the sessions and gained confidence in designing PCB layouts suitable for real-world applications. The programme successfully enhanced students' practical skills and prepared them for electronics product development and embedded system applications.
