Course Overview
The Certified PCB Design Engineer program is structured to equip learners with a deep understanding of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, from schematic creation to manufacturing-ready layouts. Whether you’re an electronics enthusiast, student, or professional engineer, this course delivers the skills needed to design, test, and produce professional-grade PCBs using industry-standard tools.
Course Highlights
Electronics Design Fundamentals
Beginning with the foundational concepts of electronic circuits. Learn how components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and ICs function within the circuit. This module covers reading circuit diagrams, understanding the current flow, and designing basic analog and digital circuits.
Schematic Design
This module introduces schematic creation using Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle. You will learn to select components, connect signals logically, and structure clean, readable circuit diagrams that serve as blueprints for your PCBs.
PCB Layout Design
Transition from schematic to PCB layout. Learn how to place components efficiently, route signal traces, and manage power and ground planes. Topics include layer management, design rule Check), thermal management, and proper spacing for signal integrity.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Understand how to prepare your production design. This section covers guidelines to avoid common design errors, optimizing the PCB for fabrication, creating Gerber files, Bill of Materials (BOM), and assembly drawings. You will also explore panelization and work with manufacturers.
High-Speed and Multilayer Design
Explore advanced concepts, such as impedance matching, differential pairs, signal integrity, and multilayer board design. This module is essential for designing PCBs for high-frequency applications such as communication devices and embedded systems.
Simulation and Testing
Learn to simulate the circuits and validate the design functionality before fabrication. The basics of electrical rule checks, functional simulations, and post-layout verification techniques ensure performance and reliability.
Hands-on Project
Apply your learning by designing a complete PCB from the concept to the final output. You will define the requirements, design the schematic, create the PCB layout, and generate manufacturing files. This real-world project helps you build confidence and portfolio-ready experience.
