Circuit boards or PCB can be made using several approaches. Please use the one that works best for you.
1. Building prototype circuits using wire-wrap
Wire-wrap is a great way of building prototype circuits, which have been used by many electrical engineers and hobbyists. It is an excellent tool for building application circuits using a microprocessor or a microcontroller. The main advantage is that you can easily debug and correct your circuit by unwrapping and rewrapping, which is much easier and less messy than soldering. Moreover, it takes a much less time to build a prototype than using printed circuit boards (PCBs). Below provide two related articles. The EE shop will equip and provide parts and tools needed for wire-wrap, i.e., wire-wrap (WW) wires, WW sockets, surface-mount to WW converters, pre-drilled WW boards, and wrapping/unwrapping tools. Students should be able to build and test majority of circuit boards required for Senior Design Projects using wire-wrapping.

2. Making Printed Circuit Boards
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) provide reliable electrical-current path between electronic parts and are used in virtually all commercial circuits. Today, many software tools are available for PCB design. One drawback of using PCB for building a prototype is difficulty of circuit modification in comparison to wire-wraps.
The department recommends PADS by Mentor Graphics and EAGLE by Autodesk. A floating license for PADS will be available for EE student use only from the Department. For Eagle, a student edition is free and recommended. To use these software tools, some trainings are required.
Once you build a circuit using PADS or Eagle, you should create a zip file of Gerber export files, consisting of top and bottom board outlines (top.pho, bot.pho), solder mask top and bottom (sm_top.pho, sm_bot.pho), paste mask top and bottom (pm_top.pho, pm_bot.pho), silk screen (ss_top.pho), and drill bits (drill.drl,drill.lst, drill.rep). The zip file then can be uploaded to commercial PCB fabrication outlets that build PCBs and ship to you.
Below is a link for step-by-step instruction on how to create Gerber files using the EAGLE software for PCB ordering.
