As the fidelity of your prototypes improves, you will want to move to custom circuit boards. The Electrical Engineering shop has the capability of making two-sided circuit boards routed from copper-clad fiberglass material. These boards are very inexpensive to make and can be made in less than a day.… text/html 2024-06-24T15:12:58+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://capstone.groups.et.byu.net/wikis/doku.php?id=project-wiki:tools:design_competitions&rev=1719263578&do=diff _Tools for Success_ Design Competitions Capstone students have done very well in national engineering competitions in the past.

When team members are ineffective, teams do not achieve their potential.
