Thank you for your information! When do we start this activity?

Thanks again.

I've emailed Dr. Fulton about participating. I'll let you know what he says.
It definitely appears that anyone who is interested is welcome, as he says
at the end of the email, "If you have students/friends who are not on the
[log in to unmask] list, feel free to extend this invitation to them as well."

I'll bet it's important to email Dr. Fulton about participating fairly
early, though, as they probably do not have unlimited space.

Greetings,

 

We have been preparing for a training event that will allow students to
become more familiar with the process of designing, fabricating, and
populating (soldering) very circuit boards using the equipment and software
that we use most often here at the ARRC.  We'll be doing this in the form of
a group exercise in moving all the way from a schematic to working prototype
of a "noise maker" (pictured below) that runs off of a 9V battery.  

 



 

It's a single-sided (non-plated) PCB that will be designed from "scratch" in
Altium, milled on the milling machine, and then soldered using the lab
equipment.  There will be three separate training sessions available to the
students-Altium (software only), milling, and soldering-and students are
encouraged to participate in as many as they can.  Each event will likely
take about 5 hours to complete.  

 

The overall goal of this endeavor is to bring students up to speed with
these important prototyping skills/tools so that these training processes do
not have to repeat individually for each student!  The prototype above is
working, and we'd like to complete this activity by the end of the summer
for the first round of "trainees."

 

If you could send me a list of students who you would like to participate
(if you're faculty) or indicate individually that you are interested (if you
are a student or a bored faculty member), I will begin setting up a schedule
for these events.  If you have students/friends who are not on the
[log in to unmask] list, feel free to extend this invitation to them as well.  

Best,
