Subject: Re: [TN] PCB Design Intro Courses

How can you learn design without courses? Kind of shortcut? By means of some existin one-hour workshop, you may be able to design a one layer, few component board, but if you know nothing about ASSEMBLY and TEST technology, I'm afraid that will be no good construction. I know guys who have been designing PWBs for decades, and they say to me there is still more to learn: materials, chemistry, tolerances, electrical paramters, thermal properties, environmental behavior, soldering, repair, modifying, rules, standards, marking, storage bla-bla...If the person is very young or have some perception problem or like, you can of course buy learning-kits for a decent cost. Hands-on with other words. Example:

There are lots of such kits, with varying complexity

Here is a list:

Hi All,

I am trying to find a non-CAD tool based PCB Design Intro training here on the East coast (or thereabouts). Seems that the available training is either based on a particular CAD tool or, too advanced for the trainee I have in mind. Any recommendations?

I am not sure if posting the name of a company in this forum is against IPC Technet guidelines so please bear this in mind when responding.

Thanks much!

With Best Regards,
Rick
