I'm doing design and fab work for an engineering team at my university and I've had some boards made before and from what I understand, they typically go around $50 for a medium sized board, although I could be wrong. I'm doing a couple different stages of design from prototyping and development then a hopefully a finished project. Although we have a decent amount of funds, most of the work is more mechanical in nature and mechanical engineers make up the majority of our team and our adviser is a ME as well so I have a hell of a time scrounging for funds to go towards anything electrical. Plus, we have a decent machine shop and a number of prototyping labs so doing stuff myself isn't that hard. I just need to save all the my I can for when one of the other guys can't get some control system to work or something dumb and just decide to tear everything electrical out and tell me to fix it later.
