Course Name: PCB Design

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a very important base product in all the electronic gadgets, which are used either for domestic use, or for industrial purpose. PCB design services are used to design electronic circuits and are the primary component in all the electronic devices, including the cell phones, computers and laptops Manual layouts are created with the help of CAD drafting, and the automatic router helps in the creation of the designs automatically. The designers usually prefer the manual way of designs, since the design cold be auto customized with respect to the users need & applications.

With the increase in demand, the number of PCB services is on the rise. Students are exposed to various PCB design techniques & methodologies like PCB editor, the design capture technology, an interactive router, a constraint manager, interfaces for manufacturing CAD, and the component tools. The PCB editor edits the layers in the PCB, both single and multilayered. Both two dimensional and three dimensional rendering of the image are possible. 3D rendering is preferred, since it is possible to analyze both the inner and outer designs vividly.

Why PCB Designing?

Circuit board design teaches students to pay attention to the overlookable parts of their work. The compact yet simultaneously complex nature of PCBs teaches future engineers to think small to solve complex issues. Designing a PCB provides a variety of practical lessons that students will need to learn before they tackle more complicated fields of study. From understanding how different components work together to the importance of proper planning, circuit board design can teach valuable engineering skills. Circuit board design can provide a space for students to learn how to use these tools.PCB design isn't hazardous, so students can learn to use the tools of the trade in a safe environment. It allows young future engineers to get used to equipment like soldering irons and electronic test equipment virtually risk-free. Our students when learn PCB design in the early stages of their education, it will actually provide us with a robust set of skills to help them as they grow into future Engineers.
