Laboratory Course for Lower-division Engineering StudentsAbstractThis paper presents a project-based laboratory course on electronics design and manufacturing.The goal of this course is to provide lower-division engineering students a hands-on experienceinvolving actual printed circuit board (PCB) design, layout, fabrication, assembly, and testing.Through project-based learning, students not only learn technical skills in designing andmanufacturing an electronic device, but also develop their project management andcommunication skills early in their course of study at the university. The course outline andexamples of the student projects are presented in this paper as well as project evaluations andstudents’ feedback. This paper
