도전성 테이프를 이용한 전자회로 프로토타이핑 도구 개발

The traditional education related to the electronic circuit prototyping is executed at specialized institutions of higher education or as a specialized education program because it requires previous education about basic electric circuits, expert tools, and a laboratory environment. Thus, electronic circuit prototyping was hard to apply for practical development with non-related majors. Electronic circuit prototyping is needed practical for circuit model construction in order to apply a theoretical model to practical model. For this reason, the complexity of the prototyping process increases and non-majors would be unable to construct a correct working model. In this research, the merits and demerits of traditional electronic circuit prototyping methods are analyzed using the guidelines of Low-Fidelity prototyping developments; in addition, the consideration of problems are observed at the execution of practical electronic circuit prototyping classes. As a result, an optimized circuit prototyping method using conductive tape is suggested. The electronic circuit prototyping which is introduced in this paper synchronizes two heterogeneous models: the conceptual model and the practical model. It also minimizes errors in circuit model construction. With this method, learners can be constructed rapidly in an office environment using conductive tape and a basic form design method. An electric circuit prototyping tool using conductive tape is not a simple prototyping tool, but the creative design tool that has the potential possibility of fusing the basic design principle and engineering tools.
