Introduction to PCB Design I North American Time

This course meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for six weeks.

This introductory course will focus on front-end design concepts, including schematic capture, library part creation, basic electrical engineering, and documentation.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Define and create schematic symbols and PCB footprints that comply with applicable IPC Standards
• Create simple schematics for use in simulation and prototyping applications
• Implement industry best practices for:
  • Schematic capture
  • Hierarchical design implementation
  • Documentation
  • Parts list generation
• Recognize the trade-offs between the different schematic methodologies and when to use each type
  • Assess different component types and attachment methods
• Differentiate when to use each type of componentDefine standard schematic notes
  • Apply best practices in negotiating these terms with customers
