In Design 1, students learn the basics of integrating multiple circuits into one design, and eventually designing that onto their own printed circuit board using Altium Designer software. They will solder all their components onto their designed PCB’s and get it to function as designed. Students receive a substantial parts kit to perform the progression of the different design modules. Each lab station has an Oscilloscope, digital multimeter, function generator, power supply, and soldering iron for students to use in building and testing their circuits.
