Student Branch Project Plan for Student Enrichment
Overview Previous Events Workshops and Tutorials and TechTalk (Power, Electronics, PLC etc) Future Events Continuous project for tutorials at each design/test phase of a new board design. Tutorial sessions from student request. Project Steps Simulation PCB Design Assembly Verification of Operation
Previous IEEE Activities Tutorials/Workshops Oscilloscope introduction Breadboard Workshop Soldering Arduino Workshop RaspberryPi Workshop Tutoring Midterm & Finals Weekly group sessions at student request. Pre-Lab tutoring and assistance with final projects.
Present & Future IEEE Activities PCB Design Project PSpice & LTSpice tutorial/design CircuitMaker tutorial/design PCB Assembly including a workshop on soldering Test and verification of board function Includes training for Oscilloscope and Multimeter operation. Tutoring Offer multiple weekly tutoring sessions for students. Additional small-group or 1-1 tutoring on request.
Project Goal Perform a series of projects that will help students to learn and develop important skills for the prototyping of electrical circuits.
Project Description This project will detail the design, simulation, PCB design, assembly, and verification of a 0-15V power supply. The circuit to be designed is a simple AC/DC converter that will supply a variable voltage regulator. In following the project, it is intended that students will develop skills they may not be exposed to through typical coursework as well as obtain an effective, variable power supply for at-home projects.
Step 1: Simulation Circuit simulation will be performed using LTspice and will cover simple magnetic coupling, AC/DC conversion, and basic electronic components.
Step 2: PCB Design PCB design will be performed using CircuitMaker, an free Altium design tool for hobbyists. PCB design will cover trace distance and width calculation based on IPC-2221B standards, component layout creation, using net lists, efficient component placement, and 2 layer route tracing.
Step 3: Assembly Circuit assembly will focus on proper soldering methods and the proper handling and storage of the tools and board.
Step 4: Operation Verification Assembled circuits will be tested to verify expected characteristics such as voltage variability and maximum supply current. Simple circuit will be powered by the supply to verify that changes in load do not have an effect on supply output within operational ranges.
Conclusion Very good activities plan but requires a lot of dedicated time from student officers. The IEEE robotics team is normally under the capstone program One main area of concern of our chapter is funding need to identify possible funding opportunities. The student branch chapter is ready and willing to help do mini projects for local industries when needed but support is critical since that is the only way students will respond. Overall, we are excited about being able to mentor and help the young engineers when needed most.
