We were given wire schematic on paper, and I had the make the same schematic on the Autodesk Eagle Schematic software, once I completed this part of the project I had to made a printed circuit board (PCB) from scratch using Autodesk EAGLE as well. Once the PCB board was made I had to solder all the parts to it ensuring the finished board was &#8216;neat&#8217;.
