Electronic circuit design & PCB (By: EngineeringMindset)

This immersive video series offers a structured learning path from the fundamentals of electronic circuits to the hands-on creation of PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). Designed for hobbyists, engineering students, and aspiring electronics professionals, the course bridges theoretical understanding with practical design skills using industry-standard tools.

Who Should Take This Course

• Electronics Enthusiasts & Makers looking to go beyond theoretical knowledge and bring their projects to life on PCB.

• Engineering Students or Entry-Level Technologists eager to strengthen circuit design skills, learn proper component use, and begin PCB layout workflows.

• Professionals Seeking Refreshers on best practices for voltage regulation, PCB design tools (like Altium), and surface-mount component assembly.

Core Learning Modules

1. Voltage Regulation & Circuit Fundamentals

Understand how to design a stable 5 V power supply, including the theory behind voltage regulators, necessary passive components (like capacitors), and implementations for ensuring safe operation through protective measures.

2. SMD LED Circuit Breakdown & Prototyping Techniques

Dive into designing and prototyping an SMD-LED-based circuit—ideal for learning essential soldering techniques, layout practices, and debugging methods.

3. PCB Design Workflow Using Altium Designer

Learn how to translate your schematic into a full PCB design—from adding schematic symbols and footprints to defining the board outline, routing traces, running design rule checks, and preparing files for manufacturing.

4. Building & Testing Your PCB

Acquire hands-on insights into manufacturing preparation, assembly workflows, and testing procedures—ensuring your design not just works, but performs reliably in real-world conditions.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Confidently design a fundamental but robust 5 V regulator circuit.

• Skillfully prototype circuits with precision, especially with SMD components.

• Navigate Altium Designer to turn schematics into production-ready PCB designs.

• Prepare manufacturing outputs and validate their own designs through testing and iteration.

Why This Course Matters

• Practical Focus: Balances solid circuit theory with real-world PCB design and implementation.

• Tool-Centric Learning: Especially useful for those working with Altium or planning to.

• Project-Oriented Format: Learners build tangible skills through actionable tutorials—making it easy to apply knowledge immediately.
