Real Impact: Hear From Our Accomplished Alumni
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our graduates are saying.
“The DFM course was a lifesaver. It helped me catch critical manufacturing issues before we sent our boards to the fab house, saving us thousands in rework.”
Emily White
PCB Layout Engineer, Plexus
“I finally understood how to use ground planes correctly after the Double-Sided Routing course. Our product’s noise performance improved dramatically.”
Carlos Rodriguez
Hardware Engineer, Bose
“The fundamentals course was perfect for getting me started. I went from zero knowledge to confidently designing and ordering my own single-sided PCBs for my hobby projects.”

Electronics Hobbyist
Your Questions, Answered
When should I use a double-sided PCB instead of a single-sided one?
Use a double-sided PCB when your circuit is too dense to route on a single layer, or when you need better signal integrity by using one layer as a dedicated ground plane. While slightly more expensive, they offer significantly more routing flexibility and better electrical performance.
What are ‘vias’ and why are they important for double-sided boards?
A ‘via’ (Vertical Interconnect Access) is a plated hole in a PCB that allows a trace to pass from the top layer to the bottom layer. Vias are essential for double-sided boards as they enable the interconnection of components and traces across both layers, which is what makes complex routing possible.
What kind of placement assistance is provided?
We offer comprehensive placement support including resume building, mock interviews with industry experts, and exclusive access to our network of over 200 hiring partners in the hardware and electronics industry. Our goal is to not just teach you, but to ensure you land your dream job.
