Abstract
The work presents a low-cost and rapid prototyping technology for printed circuits board (PCB) design. The PCB design flow and the prototyping technology are presented, which are tailored for educational applications in University course of board-level electronic systems. Some fabricated samples with the proposed technology of educational electronic systems, designed by bachelor-level student teams, e.g. a sound-based detection and ranging system, are presented. The achieved results show the feasibility of the proposed technique as rapid prototyping tool and its suitability for engineering educational purpose.
