STUDENTS PRODUCE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS FOR MR. WRIGHT'S PHYSICS CLASS

STUDENTS PRODUCE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS FOR MR. WRIGHT'S PHYSICS CLASS | | |

The students in Principles of Engineering were the first students to use the new Printed Circuit Board equipment provided by a grant from the Ithaca Partnership Educational Initiative. One of the goals of the grant was for the technology lab to reach out to other content areas to help promote the Project Lead The Way program. These students chose to make simple circuit boards that would help mr. Wright's physics classes learn about series and parallel circuits.

1) Kobina and Brandon work out the details.

4) The original artwork for the circuit board.

7) Exposing the photosensitised copper clad board to UV light.

10) Four tinned printed circuit boards.

13) Almost complete!

2) Building the prototype.

5) The reverse image is ready to be transfered to the copper clad board.

8) Developing the exposed copper clad board.

11) Adding the components.

14) The finished PCB is ready for the physics lab.

3) The prototype is complete and working.

6) The ultraviolet exposure light, developing tray, and etching tank for producing the PCB.

9) After etching and drilling, the copper path of the board is tinned.

12) Soldering the components onto the PCB.
