Course details

This course focuses on building a strong practical foundation in electronic circuits and printed circuit board (PCB) design. Participants learn the fundamentals of analog and digital circuits and how these circuits are implemented in real hardware. The course covers the complete PCB design flow, starting from schematic entry to PCB layout, routing, and final fabrication files. Learners work hands-on with popular CAD and simulation tools such as CircuitMaker and circuit simulators to design and verify their circuits. Practical sessions include creating PCB footprints, working with through-hole and via connections, and applying proper routing techniques. Participants also learn how to assemble PCBs, solder components, and test circuit functionality. Emphasis is given to real-world design practices, common mistakes, and debugging methods. By the end of the course, learners can confidently design, build, and test functional electronic systems.
