Why all prefer PCB assembling?
As discussed earlier, this blog ‘PCB and You’ is
dedicated to beginners of electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists, and focused group
of students studying in schools/colleges with science/electronics background and
budding technocrats and electronics engineers studying with engineering
discipline. This blog is also targeted teachers and parents with some electronics
bend who wish to self build small and favourite electronics projects of their
choice for themselves or for their wards and enjoy project building activities
as part and parcel of their institutional curriculum activities.
Students concern
My long association with the students of electronics
background studying in schools and colleges revealed that they experience some
difficulties in understanding the principles and practice of the electronics circuit
designs apart from hooking up the circuit schematics on PCBs for their project
work in their academic labs. On the whole their academic performance becomes
poor and unable to compete with their counterparts in this direction. This is a
great concern among the students community.
Teachers dilemma
I also learnt that a few technical faculties whose job is
to guide the students find some practical difficulties in the project assembling
work. This drawback makes them frustrated and lead to poor academic achievement
both in teaching as well as fulfilling their obligations in the practical labs.
I thought that these drawbacks have to be addressed properly for the benefit of
both students and teachers community.
As a result of chatting with the students and guides I came
to understand that a gap in the technical knowledge and skill in handling the practical
work is wide enough resulting poor performance.
Students outlook
Now-a-days, the students studying in high schools/colleges
are required to submit at least one project during the academic period to
qualify for a pass and to secure higher marks in the extra-curricular
activities. I understand that many science oriented students select simple
electronics gadgets as their project presentation. In order to execute their
electronic project they should understand the circuit schematic and simple
assembling techniques. Here comes the knowledge of circuit description and easy
and safe assembling technique for the project work on PCBs for satisfactory
performance.
Teachers outlook
Sometimes the science teachers who handle science
subjects in Government/private/ aided schools approach me for the guidance on
the construction of electronics projects. I came across a sizable number of
parents too who are somewhat electronics oriented approached me for selecting simple
and easy to build electronics projects for their children for
construction.
Parents interest and demand
The parents are mainly concerned for the simple, cost
effective and compact my PCB assembling technique and attracted for electing
electronics projects for their wards in large numbers. The educational
institutions also support this way of assembling electronics circuits.
Thus I find a great demand for my step by step assembling
of school electronics projects. Hence
there is an urgent need to propagate the PCB assembling technique among young
to build a strong nation of tomorrow.
Aim of the blog
As such this blog aims to fulfill the required minimum
technical knowledge besides easy and simple way of assembling the schematics on
ready-made PCBs in their project building work.
In the coming post I shall elaborate the details of PCB assembling techniques. Please watch out for the next. In the meantime your comments are welcome.
