Description

PCB Design is an interdisciplinary skill involving both mechanical and electrical domains. At one point you might be measuring the dimensions. At another instant you possibly could be calculating the impedance or current flow or temperature rise. Some consider PCB design to be an art. Designers try to express them by placing the components aesthetically.  You should be very creative and technically sound to make the PCB aesthetically pleasing as well as highly functional.Learn PCB Design & Layout Techniques is a comprehensive course that introduces you to the world of PCB design. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience in electronics, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to create professional printed circuit boards. So,How do you design a PCB? What are the tools used? How do you choose the parameters for design? How do you design a multi layer PCB?How do you employ EMC design techniques in PCB design?This course covers all these topics. The course is a blend of both theory and practicals. This is a step-by-step course on printed circuit board design. This course aims to equip you with technical knowledge on PCB design, help you build multi layer PCB and thus launch yourself to a platform from where you could explore the advanced concepts on your own. We welcome you to join our course on PCB Design & layout techniques.
