Review the Design Curriculum
At Electronics U, our PCB Design Curriculum is structured into three progressive tiers: Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced. The Introductory level lays the foundation — teaching schematic capture, layout basics, and design best practices that every PCB designer needs.
As you progress to the Intermediate tier, you’ll tackle more sophisticated challenges like multilayer routing, signal integrity, and manufacturability.
Finally, in the Advanced stage, you’ll immerse yourself in industry-specific expertise such as high-speed design, rugged systems, safety-critical electronics, and domain-driven complexity.
For Engineers or Technicians with Limited Knowledge of PCB Design
Introductory Courses
Taught by a certified industry expert with more than 25 years of experience in the field, this 6-week online program introduces participants to the concepts and skills required to create real-world designs that comply with IPC standards. This introductory course will focus on front-end design concepts such as schematic capture, library parts creation, basic electrical engineering concepts, and documentation.
In un settore altamente competitivo come quello dell'elettronica, le conoscenze e le competenze di chi progetta il layout del circuito stampato (PCB) e del suo assemblaggio (PBA) hanno un impatto diretto sul successo o sul fallimento del prodotto e incide sul time-to-market. Il corso online sui Fondamenti di PCB IPC è progettato per fornire le competenze necessarie per creare schemi che rispecchino accuratamente l’intento progettuale e la conformità agli standard IPC per la documentazione dello schema.
This series of ten micro-modules introduces some of the key concepts required to optimize the design of printed circuit boards for manufacture. If you'd like to learn more after completing the series, consider taking the IPC Design for Manufacturability course.
For Engineers or Technicians With a Strong Fundamental Knowledge of PCB Design
Intermediate Courses
In this course, participants employ the lessons learned in Introduction to PCB Design I to effectively implement their designs using techniques such as multi-layer routing, signal integrity, transmission lines, and more. The course also focuses on how manufacturing and assembly techniques impact design, documentation and manufacturing file generation.
Fabrication delays aren’t random—they’re caused by preventable DfM, documentation, and capability issues. This expert-led, 3-week online course shows you exactly how to spot and fix them before your design ever leaves engineering.
The Transform Your Constraint Engineering PCB Designs course is developed to provide specific paths to understanding Electrical and Mechanical Models which allows the experienced PCB design engineer opportunities to generate specific routing features to help improve, develop, and advance their design skills into a robust engineering skill set.
