Class meets on Tuesday/Thursday
This four-week program builds upon the foundational electrical knowledge developed in Test Bench: Fundamentals of PCB Testing by introducing the practical skills required of an electronics test technician. Emphasis is placed on interpreting engineering documentation, following structured test procedures, using common bench test equipment, and applying systematic troubleshooting methods to identify common electronic assembly failures.
• Reading Schematics and Electrical Documentation
• Assembly Drawings, Bill of Materials (BOM), and Reference Designators
• Component Datasheets and Manufacturer Specifications
• Bench Test Equipment: Power Supplies, Multimeters, and Oscilloscopes
• Signal Tracing and Circuit Verification
• Basic Troubleshooting Methodology
• Common Manufacturing and Assembly Defects
• Production Test Methods: In-Circuit Test (ICT), Functional Test, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), X-Ray, and Burn-In Testing
