And I thought I had seen it all... ;) First thought: I'd try my best to talk them out of getting in this field! Get a degree and become an engineer and design circuits! Or, go into ASIC design. PAYS LOTS MORE! Secondly: Don't you instruct the class at Palomar? Why did Palomar choose Mentor as their tool? Wasn't it also an ease-o-use decision along with it being 'given' to the university by Mentor? I'm confused. (That's why I'm in this field) ;) Mitch > -----Original Message----- > From: DesignerCouncil [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of > Brooks,Bill > Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 11:27 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [DC] Design Software to use as a teaching tool??? > > I'm looking for some advice from the design community... > > If you were tasked with teaching someone who had zero experience with PCB > design how to design boards, what software tool would you choose to use as > a > beginner's platform upon which to build their education and teach them the > fundamentals?
