Course Description
About the Internship
The PCB Design & Hardware Development Internship at Abhijith Electronic Solution is designed to help students develop practical skills in electronic circuit design, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, and hardware prototyping.
Interns will learn how to transform circuit ideas into functional hardware designs, from schematic development and component selection to PCB layout, design verification, testing, and troubleshooting.
What You Will Learn
- Electronic components and circuit fundamentals.
- Schematic capture and circuit documentation.
- PCB design using KiCad and other relevant EDA tools.
- Component footprints, symbols, and library management.
- Single-layer and multilayer PCB layout fundamentals.
- Component placement, copper routing, and grounding techniques.
- Design Rule Check (DRC) and Electrical Rules Check (ERC).
- Gerber files, drill files, and manufacturing outputs.
- PCB assembly, soldering, and hardware testing fundamentals.
- Circuit debugging, fault identification, and design improvement.
Practical Project Experience
Interns will work on guided PCB design exercises and a final hardware project, such as a sensor interface board, power supply board, microcontroller development board, or IoT interface circuit, depending on the selected project and available resources.
Who Can Apply?
Students and graduates from ECE, EEE, E&I, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, and related engineering or technical disciplines who are interested in electronics hardware development.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the internship, participants should be able to create electronic schematics, design PCB layouts, generate manufacturing files, understand PCB fabrication requirements, and perform basic hardware testing and debugging.
The program is suitable for beginners as well as students who want to strengthen their practical electronics design skills.
