Description

The IEEE MTT-S Student Branch Chapter of the University of Peradeniya successfully hosted the PROCB-Altium 2022 in 9th of December with the participation of students of Univeristy of Pedradeniya and the Open University of Sri Lanka. The PCB designing workshop, PROCB-Altium 2022 was conducted by research scientist Mr. Thilina Wijebandara from Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies. It was successfully concluded with 50+ participants. Designing of the PCB was done during the morning session using Altium software. Every single step was fully described by the resource person in the anyone can understand and design their own PCB. Most of the participants were fresh under graduates of Faculty of engineering who are new to this PCB designing area. At the evening session the participants were assigned to 5 groups and guided to practically implement the PCB. The printed PCB boards and the other necessary components and tools were provided for every group. The participants had a valuable chance to see the process of printing a PCB at the Microwave Lab of the Department. Though it was a one-day workshop participants were able to understand and have a fresh start to PCB designing. The workshop was successfully continued for 9+ hours continuously. The PCB designing and practically implementing workshop was ended with a hope of having a PCB designing workshop using Microwave Technology in near future.
