A technical officer or professional engineer, employed in the electrical and electronic industry, will at some time be involved in the design and development of electronic equipment. A knowledge of manufacturing processes, design techniques and construction practice, from both hardware and software perspectives, is therefore necessary; whether developing new processes, improving existing processes, using manual skills "hands on" or supervising others using these skills.

The information presented in this course will provide the necessary background to manufacturing processes, design techniques and the manual skills necessary to develop a final product. The aim of this course is to enable the student to comprehend the principles of modern manufacturing processes and to acquire competency in the design, construction and documentation of electronic equipment including both hardware and software. The principles of component selection, printed circuit design using CAD software, fabrication and assembly techniques are addressed and modern automated assembly using surface mount technology is introduced.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. analyse electronic components and interpret their specifications with regard to reliability and selection;
2. design a printed circuit board to satisfy client and technical requirements, using computer-assisted techniques;
3. construct an item of electronic equipment to a specified standard;
4. develop documentation for electronic equipment;
5. compare modern electronic manufacturing processes and techniques.
