Forms of Teaching

Lectures

Lectures are focused on theoretical and practical aspects of the printed circuit boards design.

Laboratory Work

During laboratory exercises, students learn about process of designing and simulating printed circuit boards using PADS Professional and HyperLynx software package.

Seminars

Students create printed circuit board project, with defined specification, using PADS Professional and HyperLynx software package. It is necessary to generate all required documentation: block diagram, electrical schematic, bill of materials, technical characteristics and masks for production of a printed circuit board.
