 Adopt industry accepted best design practices and develop good board
design habits
 Learn the fundamental signal integrity principles and translate them
into practical design guidelines
 Apply these new skills to design, build and test your own functional
boards

Objectives:

The first five weeks of this class is a “boot camp” to take you from no
experience at all, to successfully building two-layer prototype boards for your
engineering projects. This includes learning the layout tool, how to source
parts, build BOMs, incorporate the most important best design practices for
signal integrity, manufacturing and test, how to submit orders, assemble
boards by hand and troubleshoot. The five week program is concurrent with
the full program, but ends after the first five weeks.

The full version of this class covers these topics in more details and expands
the skills to four layer boards and advanced manufacturing technologies.

You will learn the basics of successful circuit board design from concept
through working board. In addition to learning how to use circuit boards to
connect electronic components, you will also learn how to engineer the
interconnects to avoid common signal integrity and power integrity
problems.

Attention is paid to the most important troubleshooting techniques using

scopes and other instruments. This includes understanding the instruments,
best measurement practices, proper probe selection and designing a board
for test access.

Every student will design, build and debug a circuit board prototype project.
We will use Altium, a professional level, commercial tool popular in the
industry. Allegro is the most commonly used EDA tool in the industry,
followed by PADS. Altium is the third most commonly used EDA tool. Your
experience with Altium will look good on your resume. It is available to all
students, for this class and other CU projects. If you intend on building any
prototype circuit boards for student projects or for your hobby, this special
boot camp portion of this course is a must.

Bring your tent card to class each day and display it for me

My policy on grades, homework and class attendance:

I am NOT going to play policeman. If you don't complete the reading

assignments or view the video assignments, that is up to you. However, if you
haven't completed the assignments before class, do not waste my time, your
partner's time or your classmates' time in asking questions that are obvious
if you had completed the assignments.

If you read the assignments and viewed the videos and have questions, or if
something was confusing, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS. We are here to help
accelerate you up the learning curve.

Sometimes life happens. If you miss an assignment or lab, tell me what is

going on and I will try to make special arrangements for you.

I encourage working with your team member, and collaborating with other
teams for:

 studying
 the labs and lab reports
 the design assignments and the mid terms and final reports
 turn in ONLY 1 report per team

The exception to team work is the weekly quiz. You may NOT collaborate or
communicate with others for the weekly quiz. (see my comments about the
honor code below). This is an opportunity to practice your integrity and
personal ethics- very highly valued in industry.
All the quizzes will be online and posted on canvas. The quiz will opened on
Thurs, 9 am and closed on Friday, 10 am.

If you discuss the question or answer with anyone in class during the open
period, you will receive an F for the course. If someone asks you for the
question or answer, they will receive an F for the course. If someone asks
you for the question or answer, they are putting you at risk of flunking this
class. Call them out on this. It is not about doing a friend a favor, it is about
your ethical behavior.

Be aware, in the past three years, more than six students have violated the
honor code, been caught and given an F and/or flunked out of the college. I
and the rest of the department take honor code violations seriously.

Structure of the class:

 The beginning of the week begins at 1 pm on Mondays.

 Monday 1 pm to 2 pm will be an optional lecture/demo session in FLEM
33. We will review the technical material and using Altium.
 The lectures and technical content will be posted on the class website
by mid-day Monday
 Before lab, the online quiz covering the weeks lecture is due (Friday 9
am)
 The lab will be Friday 11 am to 1:30 pm. Lab reports and design
assignments for the week due the following Monday, by 9 am.

We only meet once a week in the lab for 2 1/2 hours. Class time will focus on
lab experiments and hands on activities. BEFORE you come to class, view the
videos and read the assignments, especially those related to the lab! If you
do not view the lecture videos, don't bother coming to the lab. You will
waste my time, the TAs' time, your partner's time and the rest of the
classes' time.

My expectation is that you will spend:

 2 hours a week reading and viewing the video assignments BEFORE

you come to class
  3 hours a week completing the design assignments BEFORE the due
date
 2 hours a week completing the lab reports after the Friday lab, before
the due date. Most of these can be completed as part of the lab.

There are three board design assignments:

 a simple LED timer 2-layer board (everyone does)

 a golden version of an Arduino 2-layer board (only for the full 3 credit
students)
 a low noise 4-layer instrumentation shield for an Arduino board (only
for the full 3 credit students)

In the full 15 week class, we focus on transforming ideas into boards that can
be ramped for production. Complex, multilayer circuit boards will be
designed and analyzed. This is an in-depth and thorough look at industry
accepted best design practices for risk management, test, signal integrity,
power integrity, manufacturing and reliability, while meeting cost and
schedule goals. You will focus on designing boards that could be used in
volume production. This is essential preparation for a career in the
electronics industry.

Along the way, you will learn how the principles of circuit theory,
electromagnetics, materials science and practical manufacturing constraints
drive the design trade-offs in circuit board design and manufacture.

Required Prerequisites

for 5 week accelerator: ECEN 2270 - Electronics Design Lab

for 15 week full program: ECEN 3360 - Digital Design Lab

Honor code
A complete description of the honor code can be found here . The complete
guide to student behavior is posted here.

To summarize: "Violations of the Honor Code are acts of academic

dishonesty and include but are not limited to plagiarism, cheating,
fabrication, aid of academic dishonesty, lying to course instructors, lying to
representatives of the Honor Code, bribery or threats pertaining to academic
matters, or an attempt to do any of the aforementioned violations."

I take academic integrity very seriously. Integrity and ethical behavior

are a few of the most important qualities you can have as a
professional engineer. Your behavior in this class and in your future as
a professional engineer reflects on me as well as you.

Any suspected violations of the Honor Code will be submitted to our Honor
Code Office. Students found responsible for any violation by our faculty
and the Honor Code Office will earn an automatic F in the course. We
take these issues seriously and have a responsibility to all students who
uphold the Honor Code, and to the highest industry standards for which we
are preparing students. If you have any questions whatsoever regarding
what collaboration is permissible in the course, consult your instructor
directly before proceeding. By default, you are expected to turn in your own
original work and cite any and all portions you did not create. All aspects of
the Honor Code apply.

In this class:

 The weekly quiz is strictly by individual only. Do not discuss the

questions or solutions with any other student.
 For labs and design projects you will work in teams. Interaction with
other teams is encouraged.
 Each team turns in 1 report with both of your names on it.
 The final reports can be worked on with your partner, and a joint
report can be submitted, but MUST have both of your names on the
file name
 Viewing and discussing the videos in groups is encouraged.
Accommodation for Disabilities

If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit your

accommodation letter from Disability Services to your faculty member in a
timely manner so that your needs can be addressed. Disability Services
determines accommodations based on documented disabilities in the

may be subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are
especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with race,
color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual
orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, political
affiliation or political philosophy. Class rosters are provided to the instructor
with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor your request to address you
by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise me of this
preference early in the semester so that I may make appropriate changes to
my records. For more information, see the policies on classroom
behavior and the Student Code of Conduct.
