A Great Recipe: Collaboration, Motivation, and Design Classes

07/17/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007
John Watson, CID, is a professor at Palomar College near San Diego. John teaches a basic PCB design class and an advanced class, and graduates from these classes are ready for their first PCB design job. These appear to be the only classes of their kind in the U.S., and as more designers retire, the demand for classes like this will continue to rise. I recently spoke with John and one of his students, Mehdi Kacem, a junior embedded systems engineer intern at Avempace in Tunisia. In this interview, Mehdi explains how his desire to collaborate and his motivation to succeed helped him get the most out of John’s courses.

Do You Collaborate With Your Component Supplier?

07/15/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 Magazine
Mention the word “collaboration” to a group of designers, and a few of them might acknowledge working closely with their fab and assembly partners. But how many designers consider their component providers to be true stakeholders in the process and collaborate with them regularly? Duane Benson, founder of Positive Edge, has a long history of working on the component side of things. I asked Duane to weigh in with his thoughts on collaborating with component suppliers.

The Shaughnessy Report: Mechatronics—Designers Need to Know It All

07/12/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy Report
When I was growing up, the term “know it all” was considered an insult. But PCB designers and design engineers of the future will need to know almost everything about the board, the system, and the final product. Tomorrow’s designers will need to have a solid understanding of not just electronic design, but mechanical design and software development as well. This is where mechatronics comes in.

Mechatronics: Design007 Magazine, July 2024 Issue

In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

The New Chapter: Artificial Intelligence in PCB Design

07/08/2024 | Hannah Grace & Paige Fiet -- Column: The New Chapter
With the rapid advancements in modern technology, a new era of PCB design is emerging, which includes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). AI and ML have been all the rage in the news as they are becoming indispensable tools across various industries. Integrating AI and ML into the PCB design process not only elevates workflows and processes but also enhances the reliability and performance of products developed by the electronics industry.
