What image comes to your mind when you think about electronics ? ... Let me guess, a PCB ??
The Printed Circuit Boards are ubiquitous as electronics. Hence, its important for us, the electronics enthusiasts, to have a working knowledge about them.
Softwares like Eagle (www.cadsoftusa.com) allows one to draw the schematic of the circuit, layout the tracks and components and finally generate the necessary files (called gerber files) that can be handed over to a PCB maker. What we then get is a PCB with all the tracks (the interconnects between components) laid out and connected to pads. Then, its a matter of 'populating' the board with the components by soldering. Voila! we have our circuit ready.
The details of a PCB maker nearby the IITM campus (on the Ascendas side):
