It's was recommended course for beginners to learn about PCB using ORCAD and Cadence Allegro software from Schematic to Gerber files creation which gives good immense knowledge on the basics.
-
yeah but it is basic course.I need advance. your explanation is good and rules making is not understand properly
-
Akash KiljeIt's very helpful and very nice . it is really simple and easy to understanding . these tools and software is easy to install and very helpful to pcb design for us. -
It is a useful course I learnt a lot of knowledge from the course and it is very useful to all to complete within a short span and helpful for all the students 🙂
-
This course very useful for beginners I know about the sequence of operation in those softwares. It has right things to make a pcb design in real life.

2439_Rohan KambleThis course very useful for pcb design like as how to design layout of the pcb and the how to design in pcb like resister etc. -
Yeah it was good nd easy to understand! Clearly explained how to make a pcb and how to choose the components
-
the crouse is really help full to me.
I really learn lot of thinks form it.
thank you to teaching me. -
I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load(h.w. & test)was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed.
