PCB Design
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
PCB (printed circuit board) design is the process of laying out the physical and electrical structure of a circuit board, including component placement, trace routing, and layer stack-up, typically using CAD tools like Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle. It's a core skill for electrical and hardware engineers building anything from consumer electronics to industrial devices. Good PCB design balances electrical performance, manufacturability, and cost.
