Detailed Syllabus

Module Breakdown

Every module focuses on practical design skills required to build professional-grade electronic products.

Module 1: Introduction to Basic Electronics & PCB Concepts

Understanding through-hole vs. SMD components, PCB types, and the overall design lifecycle.

Module 2: Electronic Components, Packages, and Footprints

Reading datasheets, IPC standards for footprints, and creating custom component libraries.

Module 3: Schematic Design & Circuit Simulation

Drafting logical circuit diagrams, hierarchical schematics, and performing basic circuit simulations.

Module 4: Introduction to EDA Tools

Navigating and setting up projects in industry-standard tools like Altium Designer, KiCad, and Eagle.

Module 5: PCB Layout Basics & Stackup Design

Board outlines, layer stackup (Single/Double/Multi-layer), and strategic component placement.

Module 6: Advanced Multi-Layer Routing & Vias

Interactive routing, ground/power planes, blind/buried vias, and polygon pours.

Module 7: Signal Integrity (SI) & Power Integrity (PI)

Managing crosstalk, decoupling capacitors, ground loops, and ensuring robust power delivery.

Module 8: High-Speed PCB Design & EMI/EMC

Differential pairs, length matching, controlled impedance routing, and electromagnetic compatibility.

Module 9: Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Assembly (DFA)

Design Rule Checks (DRC), fiducials, panelization, and ensuring manufacturability.

Module 10: Capstone Project & Gerber Export

Designing a complete multi-layer board, generating BOM, Pick & Place files, and exporting Gerber files.
