SynopsisFor courses in Shop Fabrication. Hands-on approach and carefully focused on key topics, this innovative text presents thorough coverage of the fundamentals of electronic design, fabrication, and documentation, PLUS a complete experience in creating electronic prototype devices. Students work their way through Sample, Exercise, and Elective Projects (covering all skill levels) and develop a thorough Project Report with written and graphic documentation delineating procedures, developments, and specifications of a project., ELECTRONIC PROJECT DESIGN AND FABRICATION is more than just a project book. The fundamentals of prototype design, fabrication, and documentation are a part of each chapter. The student designs the circuit, breadboards it, designs and fabricates a printed circuit board, and encloses the project in a case. New to the fifth edition: Something to Think About mini-sections provide students with suggestions for further inquiry. Five new elective projects have been added to Chapter 17. Revised and new appendices, including information on electronic kit sources, electronic project design, and fabrication websites to visit.
