I would like to personally encourage you and your colleagues to look into Palomar College's Printed Circuit Design program and consider registering for DT211 Advanced PCB Design before Jan 21st, 2008. http://www.palomar.edu/drafting/pcb/ Classes for the Spring Semester at Palomar College on begin Jan 22nd, 2008. The first class for DT211 Advanced PCB Design will be on Tuesday Jan 22nd, 2008 in room E-13 at 6:00PM to 8:55M. Classes are held Tuesday and Thursday every week during the semester except for holidays and spring break. This is a three unit college credit evening class so it is convenient for working students too! DT211 is also listed as part of two AA degree programs at Palomar College. Note: It is important to be present on the first day to get important information about the class and software and to be counted in the class census so that the class fills the quota of students required by the college administration. The class content has been recently improved! There are new and updated materials and new software to work with... and better learning opportunities for registered students in the class. The E-13 CAD lab now has upgraded faster DELL computers with new flat screen monitors, and we are teaching with the latest version of Altium Designer 6.8 in the classroom. The curriculum is rich with information vital to successful printed circuit board design... and the instructor has over 34 years of PCB Design and electro-mechanical design experience and has been using the software developed by this user friendly CAD software company since 1998. You may remember it by its previous name, Protel. It has come a long way since it was well known by that name and has a very popular client list from all over the world... http://www.altium.com/Successes/ http://www.altium.com/files/pdfs/WhatsNewinAltiumDesigner6.8.pdf For more information on our new CAD tool see http://www.altium.com/files/altiumdesigner/AltiumDesigner6-Board_level_desig n.pdf We hope to see you this semester! And please...invite a friend to come take the class with you! Please forward this invitation to a friend that is interested in learning more about PCB design too. Thank You!
