EET 414 - Introduction to Printed Circuit Boards

This online course will focus on printed circuit board (PCB) technology, layout, and construction. Emphasis is placed on troubleshooting PCBs and the physical realization of electronic circuits.  Background topics include PCB manufacturing and assembly (focusing on cutting-edged manufacturing capabilities and designing for pick-and-place auto assembly).  Emphasis will also be placed on schematic capture and circuit board layout and advanced layout techniques using Altium Designer (including 8-10 layer design, 3-D PCB design, flex-PCB design, and PCB miniaturization techniques).  Students will be required to use Altium Designer to design and layout their own custom circuit board as a final project.  There is no textbook and the software is free for University students.
