Electronic Assembly and Fabrication

Certificate of Completion #24162

The Electronic Assembly and Fabrication Certificate is intended to prepare students to enter the electronics field as assembly and fabrication technicians. The program provides a series of courses to meet the needs of industry in assembly, electro-mechanical skills, soldering/de-soldering skills, printed circuit board design and fabrication for both through-hole and surface mount devices (SMD). Included are skills for various types of cabling and connections.

Electronic fundamentals are learned which include electronic test equipment and measurement, electronic components and devices including sensors, microcontrollers, coding, and schematic diagrams. Electronic Assembly and Fabrication skills as well as advanced surface mount technology (SMT) skills are taught, which are similar in content to the Institute for Printed Circuit (IPC) IPC7711/IPC7721 rework and repair of electronic assembly certification.

Program Learning Outcomes

• Students will be able to read and analyze DC schematics for voltage, current, impedance and power quantities, and compare them to measured values.
• Students will demonstrate proper use of electronic test equipment and associate measurement results with circuit behaviors in the laboratory.
• Students will demonstrate the ability of a robot to perform specific tasks.
• Students will create using schematic and layout software, as well as manufacture and solder a printed circuit board (PCB).
• Students will assemble and repair (soldering) on surface mount assemblies (SMT).
• Students will understand material that is similar in content to the Institute for Printed Circuits (IPC) surface mount assembly and rework certification.
