Course Objectives:
This course is deals with designing printed circuit boards (PCBs) and printed wiring boards (PWBs) that will use Surface Mount Technology (SMT). The learning objectives of the course are:
• Understand the process flow that a printed board using surface mount components (SMCs) goes through from design through fabrication, assembly, and test.
• Be able to demonstrate hand soldering techniques with surface mount devices (SMD’s)
• Learn a concurrent engineering approach to SMT design
• Apply the design, assembly and test criteria for a successful SMT printed board design
• Apply the principles of solder paste deposition and reflow soldering to create acceptable solder joints - solder joints account for 70% of SMT board failures!
• Be able to design, assemble, and test SMT-based printed circuit assemblies.
At the end of the course the student will understand these aspects, and have designed a PWB using SMT components, and assembled a printed circuit board using SMT components.
The course will approach SMT as a system: design, production, test, and repair will be considered concurrently. Lab topics will follow lecture topics in some areas, in others lab topics will stand alone. Lecture and lab together will develop understanding of the processes necessary for the design and development of a printed circuit board using surface mount devices.
It is assumed the student will enter the course with sufficient circuit design knowledge that this will not be a course topic except as it relates to the entire process. Mathematical treatments of thermal & mechanical issues may require an out-of-class review by students.
Grading: A = 90-100%
B = 80-89%
4 tests (includes final), drop 1: 45% of overall grade C = 70-79%
Class/team participation/assignments: 15% of overall grade D = 60-69%
Lab (70% minimum lab points to pass) 40% of overall grade F = Below 60%
Tests: will usually be oriented to the circuit board level. That is, if the topic being covered is soldering, a test or quiz question may ask how to reliably form solder joints on a circuit board. A test may involve the design of a particular board, with each question or set of questions adding more to the overall board design/layout. The final exam is considered one of the tests.
No makeup tests will be given.
It is always possible to cheat. Don't. Any cheating will receive a grade of 0. Second offences are sent directly to the DOS. You are expected to work together with other members on your lab team, however it will be made clear to you when you may turn in results/reports as a team, and when you are expected to turn in individual work. IN ALL CASES, any outside source must be referenced, whether it's from a book, magazine, the 'net, or personal conversations with industry personnel.
Lecture Schedule:
“Text Reads” in the tentative weekly table below refer to reading assignments in the text. Intel and Research International net references, and handout assignments are also noted. Text reads that say only “Chapt.” Or “Ch.” are in the textbook. You are expected to have the reading done by the day noted. Lectures will build on those readings. Reading quizzes will be given. Teams of students will periodically present information that has been gained from assigned readings/searches, and/or you will develop questions based on the reading material.
Lecture protocol: all beepers, cell phones, etc., must be off during lecture, or points will be deducted from your “participation” score. To participate in any quiz or test, hats and sunglasses must be removed.
Any actions which distract others or hinder their ability to learn are unfair to all students and will not be tolerated in the classroom. These actions can result in the loss of up to 100% of the possible course points.
Note that assignments are not shown below but will be announced during the semester. Supplements to the lecture schedule may be issued. The schedule may also change based on changes in the necessary flow of information, guest speakers, or new material.
Laboratory – a separate lab syllabus will be handed out in the first meeting of each lab division.

References & Assignments:
Searching Google, the Engineering Index (Compendex) and/or the Applied Science and Technology index will show thousands of articles on SMT. Periodically you will be asked to read and summarize for the class articles about the week’s topics, or generate review questions based on the topic.
For review question assignments, here is the format that those questions and corresponding answers are to follow:
Each group of two students is to develop 10 “review” questions based on the reference(s) assigned. The format for each question of the assignment is:
• The question
• The answer
• The reference and the location in the reference from which the question and answer are taken.
A “review” question is one that attempts to determine that another reader of the work you are referencing does really understand what s/he just read. You’ve seen review questions in other courses, now you have a chance to write them.
Questions must relate to new information relative to that presented in 360, not a rehash of old information.
Questions and their answers may not duplicate those already covered in the review questions at the end of each text chapter
In general, asking what an acronym stands for is not sufficient. E.g. “what is HASL?” is not sufficient. “What is HASL and what are its shortcomings?” would be sufficient as a question.
• True/False questions are not acceptable.
• Yes/No questions are not acceptable.
• Questions may not be a sentence with one word removed, e.g., “BGAs have a ____ footprint”
• Obviously trivial questions are not acceptable – “How many leads does an SO14 have?”
• Multiple-choice with at least 3 answer options are OK.
Read each question after you write it to see if it leads the reader to a reasonable answer.
You may be asked to present the questions orally, or to turn them in as a written assignment.
Alternatively, for some classroom sessions, the instructor will ask questions of the students.
