Overview
The PADS-PowerPCB class will teach you the workflow of laying out a printed circuit board using the latest version of Mentor Graphics PADS-PowerPCB. You will be guided through the steps necessary to design a printed circuit board. Course highlights include creating physical components, importing netlists, adding/updating parts, routing connections, generating reports and Gerber information.

Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed during the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.
