This half-day course is an overview (past, present, and future) of the interactions of processes, people and technologies involved in the complete lifecycle of a PCB design. This course is designed to provide a solid foundation for those who are just starting out (zero to two years of experience) as a PCB designer and help the individual formulate a roadmap to build their knowledge base for both personal and career advancement as contributors to this industry. All attendees will receive an MS Excel checklist of the traditional questions that PCB designers should ask throughout the PCB design process.
