YSCH Camp 05 - Applied Electronics and Soldering Maker Camp (July 15-July 19)

Course Description

Soldering is an essential skill in modern manufacturing. Soldering is a low heat joining process used in applications where the heat of welding or brazing would be too great or where precise control is required. There are a number of manual and automatic soldering processes which are particularly useful in electronics and jewelry fabrication as well as in creating air and watertight seals in plumbing and other systems.

Students will get an exposure to the basics of industrial soldering techniques, component de-soldering, clean up, field repair, basic uses, definitions, soldering techniques, soldering types, soldering materials, and industrial safety fundamentals. The camp will provide knowledge and hands-on skills for both through-hole and surface mount technologies. Students will carry out a class project in which they will populate a functioning printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering the components in place.
