PCB Circuit Design with Eagle

• An understanding of electronics

PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Circuit Design refers to the process of designing, etching, and printing circuits on a signal boards layout.  EAGLE is a freely available desktop application for designing PCBs.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use the Eagle software to create PCB circuit boards. The course starts by examining a set of existing schematics, then drawing out an original circuit in Eagle. The training steps through process for designing the circuit board and discusses the process for manufacturing the boards (the course does not include the physical manufacturing of the boards).

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) from any schematic
• Create schematics and design circuit boards using Eagle
• Export the industry-standard files for constructing the circuit board

Audience

• Engineers
• Technicians

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
