Sparta, NJ (PRWEB) April 5, 2006
The Electronics Technology program at the Lee County High Tech Center Central, Fort Myers, FL is flourishing. One of the reasons for this success is the SMT-210 Rework and Exploration Kit developed and manufactured by Sparta-based Intellitronic Devices, LLC.
The SMT-210 is the single greatest investment we have made for our students, explains Matt Lord, Electronics Technology Instructor. The all-inclusive kit allows my students to practice identifying components, handling and placing of the parts, as well as learning various soldering methods. The added bonus is when the students are finished they get to test the circuits that they just soldered.
The Electronics Technology program at High Tech Central covers a wide variety of electronics topics including DC/AC, semiconductors, microprocessors and programming. In developing its curriculum, the school consulted with an Advisory Board comprised of local businesses. Soldering, and specifically the soldering of Surface Mount Components is one of the skills challenge requirements.
Upon investigation of various products, it was determined that Intellitronic Devices SMT-210 was not only the most comprehensive product available, but the most economical as well. Mr. Lord shares, No matter what aspect of electronics you get into, Soldering skills are very important in today’s world of Electronics manufacturing and troubleshooting. Future employees need up-to-date training and the SMT-210 kit gives the students the chance to experience this first hand. We use the SMT-210 board in class to familiarize students with surface mount components, specifications, handling, placement and soldering techniques.
Its not just the teachers and advisory board members who are impressed with this innovative product. According to student Matthew P. Bildzukewicz, It was a good learning experience. Its just like what you would see in the real world. I had some prior experience installing SM components, but not the quantity and variety of components on the SMT-210 kit.
Jennifer Keep is an Electronics Technician as well as a student in Mr. Lords class. Before working on the SMT-210 kit, I had minimal surface mount soldering experience. The kit has improved my soldering skills both at work and in the classroom.
Identifying curriculum enhancements is very important for High Tech Central. According to Mr. Lord, our local advisory board members have reviewed the SMT-210 kit and agree that it really complements the training we offer here at High Tech Central. It provides the student a chance to see and feel the real thing before getting hired.
