Electronics – A First Course for Printed Circuit Board Design

“…Substantially similar courses in the past have trained students to design PCBs but would not be fabricated [3], [4] or chose to build primitive circuit boards inhouse [5]. There are courses that offer project-based PCB design experiences to senior students [6] or look into whether a PCB course can be made a requirement to benefit students [7]. There are a wide variety of courses that teach PCB designs with a special topic in wireless network [8], PCB antenna [9], power electronics [10], and many other topics, but these special topics associated with PCB designs are not intended for teaching fundamental circuits and electronics.…”
