Electrical and Electronics Circuit Construction
This module starts by giving the student a basic understanding of different electronic boards and their parts such as breadboard; strip board; PCB and bus lines; terminal strips; copper tracks; insulation layer; photo resist layer. It will then continue with the instructions of how to construct a printed circuit board including soldering process from the artwork (with and/or without software); chemical development of PCB; etching of a PCB and populating the PCB with components.
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
a. Identify the application of different electronic boards and their parts including but not limited to breadboard; strip board; PCB and bus lines; terminal strips; copper tracks; insulation layer; photo resist layer;
b. Master the process including quality control of constructing a printed circuit board including manual and/or software-based tools for circuits artwork; chemical development of PCB, and etching of a PCB;
c. Construct, populate and test a PCB for an electrical and electronic circuit including quality control processes
a. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of electronic boards. Electronic boards: breadboard; strip board; PCB;
b. Describe the process of constructing a printed circuit board including manual and/or softwarebased tools for circuits artwork; chemical development of PCB; and etching of a PCB as well as the use of the appropriate PPEs and procedures;
c. Interpret the schematic symbols and drawing requirements for PCB manufacturing.
a. Design, manufacture and test a PCB;
b. Populate and test a PCB.
This programme adopts continuous and summative methods of assessment including assignments, online tasks, reflective journals, projects and video presentations. For further details, kindly refer to the Teaching, Learning and Assessment Policy and Procedures.
