Workshop on Circuit Simulation and PCB Design Using Proteus at AIUB

On 11th June 2014, Workshop on Circuit Simulation and PCB Design Using Proteus was organized by IEEE AIUB Student Branch and WIE Affinity Group, IEEE Bangladesh Section. The workshop aimed to educate mainly sophomore as well as other interested students about the use of the software Proteus in PCB design and simulation.

Before commencing the workshop, the activities of WIE were shared with the participants to provide them with a better understanding of WIE’s objectives and goals and to encourage female students. In the main part of the event, two instructors from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Mr. M A Awal and Mr. Parvez Ahmed, members of the “BUET Lunabotics Team 2013” in NASA’s 4th annual Lunabotics Mining Competition, began the workshop by discussing properties of PCB circuits and some basic aspects of the circuit to be simulated.

The sample circuit was then simulated step by step using Proteus so that students could simultaneously implement the circuit on their own. A sample PCB circuit was also displayed for students to handle and examine it by themselves. This helped them gain practical knowledge outside of their regular coursework.

The workshop ended with a vote of thanks to the instructors who were presented with certificates and small tokens of appreciation for their time and effort by Mr. Farhadur Arifin, Counselor, IEEE AIUB Student Branch. All attendees were also presented with certificates in acknowledgement of their enthusiastic participation in the interactive and educative event.
