Where can I get an electronics prototype made?

I get many research and prototype questions, from students, from engineers, from inventors. Not all of the questions, come from inside the University of New Hampshire (UNH). My duties for the Electrical Engineering Department keeps me busy, so I have a small amount of time to help with prototype advice. 

This, along with similar questions, are some of the most difficult questions to answer: 

 

Where can I get some research done?
Where can I get my concept designed?

Where can I get my concept designed and prototypes built?

How can I get a printed circuit board made?

Where can I get electronic components.

Where can I get a printed circuit board assembled?

Where can I get a few circuit board assembled, or produced and assembled?

 

This page is an effort to address some these frequently asked questions.

Here are a few links that may answer some of your question:

 

Printed circuit board layout software EAGLE® Layout Editor.

Web based printed circuit board production PCBexpress®.

Web based prototype design TronicsZone®.

I have become a " match maker" between people desiring prototypes and for local people, who do this sort of work. If you E-Mail your question, I will make an effort, to put you in touch with someone, in the area, that could help.
