Description
PCB Design Made Easy: A Practical Guide Using EasyEDAis a beginner-friendly, hands-on course aimed at students, hobbyists, and aspiring electronics engineers who want to gain practical skills in schematic design, PCB layout, and circuit fabrication using the EasyEDA platform. This course bridges the gap between theoretical electronics and real-world circuit implementation by offering a step-by-step guide to the complete PCB design and development cycle.

The course begins with an introduction to EasyEDA and basic circuit design principles using common passive and reactive components, such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors. Learners will gain confidence by working on RL, RC, and RLC circuits before progressing to more complex designs. The curriculum then focuses on creating a schematic and PCB layout for a full-wave rectifier circuit with a voltage regulator, one of the most fundamental and practical power supply circuits used in electronics.

As the course advances, students will design clipper and clamper circuits, essential for signal conditioning in analog electronics. Participants will then fabricate their own single-sided PCB for the full-wave rectifier using common prototyping methods. The course concludes with hands-on assembly and testing of the fabricated circuit, reinforcing troubleshooting and debugging skills.

By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and experience to independently design, fabricate, and test their own PCBs using EasyED paving the way for more advanced electronics projects and product development.

Who this course is for:
- Electronics hobbyists and makers who want to turn their breadboard projects into professional PCBs
- Engineering students looking to gain practical PCB design skills for academic and project work
- Beginners in electronics who are curious about how real-world circuit boards are designed and manufactured
- Educators and trainers who need a simple yet powerful tool to teach PCB design concepts
- Freelancers or aspiring hardware entrepreneurs aiming to prototype and fabricate custom circuit boards
