Electrical Engineering Drafting and Design Technology

The Electrical Engineering Drafting and Design Technology Program provides students with a foundation of electrical theory, electrical components, and hands-on practical skills necessary to layout and design printed circuit boards (PCB) using AutoCAD and Altium software. PCB layout, PCB materials, industrial materials, technical mathematics, component libraries, schematic concepts, design intent implementation, design rule creation, schematic capture, signal integrity, and transmission will be taught while adhering to industry standards. Students will learn to use basic electronics lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, and signal generators. Students will be able to create an industry standard completed package of related drawings for fabrication, assembly and manufacturing of an advanced printed circuit board design. Completion of this program prepares students for entry level drafting employment in the electrical engineering drafting and design field.

Learning Outcome(s):

1. Compare and contrast industrial materials and their properties for the manufacturing of printed circuit boards.
2. Apply technical mathematics to circuit board design and layout.
3. Create a completed package of related drawings for circuit board fabrication.
