  INSTRUCTOR(S)


  HEADLINE
    Learn Analog / Digital Electronics and PCB Design from the
    Ground up with Altium CircuitMaker and Labcenter Proteus


  WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
  * Students will be able to analyze and construct basic analog
    and digital circuits. As well as design printed circuit
    boards, assemble and get them running.
  * Students will be able to leverage this knowledge to build
    and
    produce electronic products completely themselves.
  * Students will be able to use numerous CAD and design tools
    such as schematic entry, PCB layout and routing, circuit
    simulators, MATLAB, and more.
  * Students will learn how to use basic electronics lab
    equipment
    such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators,
      and
    more.
  * Students will learn hands on techniques such as circuit
    construction with solderless breadboards, wire wrapping, and
    soldering.


  REQUIREMENTS
  * A modern Windows PC (or VM) capable of running various CAD
    and
    design tools used in this course such as Altium
      CircuitMaker,
    Labcenter Proteus, Matlab, and more.
  * A High School or equivalent understanding of mathematics.
  * Since the course is about electronics, to get the full
    benefit
    of the course, you will need to follow along and build the
    circuits. Thus, access to breadboards, power supplies,
      tools,
    parts, etc.
  * A lot of patience! This is a university level course with
    many
    1 hour lectures. There's a lot of material to cover, and we
    are here to learn this cold, inside and out!


  WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR
  * Anyone interested in learning electronics and/or printed
    circuit board design.
  * Programmers interested in learning about how the machines
    they
    code with actually work and the electronics inside them.
  * Electrical or Computer Engineering students that would like
    to
    see what the major is all about end to end as a head start
      in
    their degree.
  * Someone that is a hacker/hobbyist that has some experience
    with electronics, but wants to take it to the next level and
    obtain a much deeper understanding of electronics and
      circuit
    analysis/design.


  DESCRIPTION
  Crash Course Electronics was designed for one thing -- to take
  you from mystery to mastery in Electronics and PCB Design.
    This
  massive course was custom made for those interested in
    learning
  electronics from the ground up that wish to leverage that
  knowledge to build actual printed circuit boards (PCBs). There
  is no other course like this in existence that has the depth
    and
  breadth of Crash Course Electronics. The course starts with
  atomic physics and the electron, before you know it you are
  learning Ohm's Law, circuit analysis, AC, DC, complex
    impedance,
  RC and RL circuits,  filters, amplifiers, transistors,
  FETs,  analog and digital theory -- too much to list here!
    But,
  unlike other courses that are highly technical and math based.
  Crash Course Electronics was designed to be taken as a journey
  with the instructor. Each lecture building on the last, each
    new
  concept like a new puzzle approached in many different ways.
    The
  most complex topics and mathematical concepts are distilled
    down
  into understandable lectures and we have a lot of fun doing
    it!
  I had to learn this stuff at one point and remember how hard
    it
  was, so I approach each lecture as if we are both learning for
  the first time and make no assumptions about what you know or
  don't know. As we progress through the lectures, expect to see
  every circuit and idea worked out on the black board,
  virtually simulated (with Labcenter Proteus), and built by
    hand
  right in front of your eyes in high def, ultra clean video and
  audio. Not only will you learn all the theory and practical
  aspects of Electrical Engineering, but my 35+ years of
  experience with electronics will be downloaded to your brain
  with countless real-world tips and tricks that will take you
  from a hobbyist to a deep understanding of the subject matter.
  Then when we have all the basic electronic theory under our
  belts, buckle in for something you have never seen -- we will
  build, not one, not two, but three complete products! We will
  talk about the design, the motivation, look up parts,
    background
  information, and then design the circuits together like
  colleagues, lay them out in Altium CircuitMaker, route them,
  verify and produce manufacturing files. If that wasn't enough,
  we will take those files and go out on internet and send them
    to
  a number of online manufactures and get them ready for
  production, all you have to do is hit SUBMIT! Last, but not
  least -- the course is based on my college text book "Design
  Your Own Video Game Console" aka "The Black Art of Video Game
  Console Design" -- this 800+ page book is included free of
  charge (the PDF version) with the course. Although, we won't
    be
  talking about game consoles in this course, we will be using
    the
  text for its theory, electrical engineering and PCB design
  chapters.
