This course introduces printed circuit board (PCB) design and layout practices and concerns. It is intended for students with some experience with circuits who are interested in learning or improving their PCB design and fabrication skills, and particularly those who are part of or intend to join engineering student organizations with working knowledge in PCB design.

Students learn effective system, schematic, and layout design through hands-on applications and exposure to advanced concerns including DFT, DFM, grounding, decoupling, EMC/EMI, thermals, isolation, and high-speed.
