Advanced Circuits Helps Students Make the Grade ... and Pays for Dinner Too!AURORA, Colo. -- Engineering Student Program Helps Students Focus on Accuracy Advanced Circuits, the country's leading source for quick-turn printed circuit boards, today announced that university students across North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. are using its FreeDFM service for projects to ensure error-free results. Professors at many of the country's renowned engineering schools require students to upload Gerber files to Advanced Circuits FreeDFM.com service to check the design for flaws and manufacturability. "Students as well as seasoned engineers know that if a design is flawed or does not meet specifications, it can create costly delays in production," said Glenn Blackwell, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering technology at Purdue University Purdue University (pərdy  `, -d`), main campus at West Lafayette, Ind. . "With Advanced Circuits FreeDFM, our students receive an evaluation of their circuit board layout within minutes, making it easy for them to make changes on design projects." Students and engineers at Colorado University, University of Florida University of Florida is the third-largest university in the United States, with 50,912 students (as of Fall 2006) and has the eighth-largest budget (nearly $1.9 billion per year). UF is home to 16 colleges and more than 150 research centers and institutes. and Cal Poly Cal Poly may refer to:
Using FreeDFM ensures that circuit board designs meet fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. specifications and that all the files needed to process orders are complete. This process helps student's complete projects to the highest degree of accuracy and prepares them for real-life design scenarios. Advanced Circuits Engineering Student Program (ESP (1) (Enhanced Service Provider) An organization that adds value to basic telephone service by offering such features as call-forwarding, call-detailing and protocol conversion. ) provides FreeDFM service at no cost to students. In addition, students can buy a full-spec, 2-layer PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. for just $33. There are no minimum quantities and all prototypes are shipped on time to meet project deadlines, or they're free! Remembering how life is as a student, Advanced Circuits also includes a coupon for free pizza and soda with every student order. "We were all there once, so we understand the needs and constraints on the resources engineering students have available," said John Yacoub, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and president of Advanced Circuits. "With our ESP, students are offered special discounts and technical assistance to help make the most of their engineering education experience."
