About This Program
End-to-End PCB Design and Manufacturing
The End-to-End PCB Design and Manufacturing program is designed to equip participants with the skills needed to design, prototype, and manufacture high-quality Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). This program covers the entire PCB development cycle, from schematic design and circuit simulation to fabrication, assembly, and testing. Participants will gain hands-on experience using industry-standard design tools and manufacturing techniques, preparing them for careers in electronics, embedded systems, and IoT development.
Objectives
To provide in-depth training on PCB design software, including Altium Designer, KiCad, and Eagle.
To teach circuit schematic design, component selection, and best practices for efficient PCB layout.
To develop expertise in multi-layer PCB design, high-speed routing, and signal integrity analysis.
To introduce PCB manufacturing processes, including etching, solder mask application, and drilling techniques.
To train participants in surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole component soldering for PCB assembly.
To provide hands-on experience in prototyping, debugging, and testing PCBs using measurement tools such as oscilloscopes and multimeters.
To prepare participants for mass production of PCBs, including DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles.
Goals
Develop skilled PCB designers and engineers capable of creating industry-standard circuit boards.
Enable participants to design and manufacture custom PCBs for IoT, embedded systems, and consumer electronics applications.
Strengthen local electronics manufacturing capabilities by promoting PCB fabrication and assembly skills.
Support research, startups, and entrepreneurs in developing high-quality electronic products from concept to production.
Encourage innovation in electronic hardware design, contributing to the growth of Somalia’s tech ecosystem.
