Abstract
In this course, students will build upon their knowledge and practical skills in the complete Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design process. The course begins with mastering the key features of Altium Designer, a professional PCB Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) software, covering topics such as the user interface, project creation, schematic entry, PCB layout, documentation, and fabrication outputs. Students will then apply this knowledge by designing a real-world application and verifying its operation by prototyping the design with actual components. Throughout the process, they will troubleshoot and adjust the design as needed, complete the schematic and board layout, and generate the necessary documentation and fabrication files to send to a PCB manufacturer. Once the manufactured PCB is received, students will solder the components onto the board and verify its operation. Finally, students will generate a report to document the project. Upon successful completion, students will receive a globally recognized Altium Essentials certification from Altium, demonstrating their PCB design expertise to potential employers.
