E014 – Printed Circuit Board Prototyping Laboratory, Engineering Building

The Printed Circuit Board Prototyping Laboratory was remodeled in 2018 and further upgraded in 2021. It’s equipped with advanced tools for creating two-layer PCB prototypes, essential for student and faculty projects. Key upgrades include a new desktop computer, an LPKF S63 PCB milling machine, and a 20MP Sony autofocusing electronics inspection microscope to enhance PCB inspection and component repair. Enhanced safety features include a magnetic soldering safety mat and a carbon filter-based fume extractor.
