Soldering is a joining method used for a wide range of parts, including delicate electronic components. Solder is a metal alloy designed to melt at very low temperatures, and various methods of soldering can be used to join parts together. Although most soldering is automated today, manual soldering is an important skill for assembly technicians, researchers, students, and engineers. This solder training workshop class addressed the knowledge and techniques required to produce high-quality manually soldered joints. Different soldering alloys, including lead-free solders and also the proper soldering techniques for joining PCB components discussed in this event.

The University of Windsor has recently procured several machines capable of fabricating dual-layer PCBs complete with through-hole plating, solder mask, silk screen, and solder paste deposition. The newly constructed PCB Fabrication lab is a valuable asset for engineering student clubs, capstone students, researchers, and electrical hobbyists. This lab is located in CEI2205 and is available to all undergraduate engineering students free of charge.
The purpose of this event was to introduce and familiarize all attendees with the PCB fabrication equipment to advance their circuit design and fabrication skillset.

Date: 27 May 2022
Location: CEI building
The tutorial session was intended to walk students through the PCB design process using the Autodesk Suite (Eagle and Fusion 360). The lecture was broken up into 3 sections in order to achieve the following learning outcomes:
1. Advantages and disadvantages of PCB design vs. conventional circuit prototyping methods.
2. The PCB fabrication process.
3. Develop a library of parts including the schematic symbol, 2D PCB footprint, and 3D package design.
4. Convert a circuit schematic into a PCB design to be sent to the manufacturer for fabrication.
5. 3D render PCB Design.
