Objective

Build a strong foundation in PCB fundamentals and EDA tool navigation.

Key Learning Areas

• Introduction to PCB technology, types, and applications.
• Electronic components overview (active, passive, electromechanical).
• Schematic creation using industry-standard EDA software.
• Understanding nets, symbols, and footprints.
• Basic design rules and standards (IPC introduction).
• Single-layer PCB layout creation.
• Basic routing techniques and copper pours.
• Generating Gerber files for fabrication.

Outcome

By the end of Level 1, learners can design and generate files for a simple, single-layer PCB ready for manufacturing.
