To support professors and teachers, an educator’s guide is provided for the course. Students will receive guided instruction that culminates in the completion of their own manufacturable PCB. The program features hands-on lessons focused on schematics, design layout, and manufacturing. All of our engineering students should take this web-based curriculum.” 'Altium Education's course provides the perfect introduction to PCB design that I need to help prepare my students for advanced engineering courses. 'Understanding prototyping skills is a necessary step for Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) students,' said Siddharth Deliwala, Director, ESE Lab Programs, School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania. With a focus on higher learning institutions, Altium Education has been developed for university and college students studying engineering and computer science.ĭesigned for virtual, hybrid, and physical classrooms, Altium Education’s curriculum supplements engineering classes and offers professors the flexibility of incorporating it into their current lesson plans. In 2020, Altium introduced Upverter Education, a modular-based PCB design program created for high school students. This hands-on course takes college students from the very basics of electronics to designing their first printed circuit board (PCB).Īltium Education is the next step in Altium's education initiative that makes learning electronics more accessible.
