I am currently signing up for other Tech Explorations courses and can’t wait to dive in to them like the KiCad course. Getting the boards manufactured and sent back completely functional felt like a “feather in the cap for me!” It was an absolute pleasure working through all of the projects, each one increasing the both the level of complexity and the learning skills acquired. I then went back to zooming my classes over the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters and when the Spring semester was completed, I decided to get back into the PCB swing of things and signed up for your course.Īs an electrical engineer and an academic (34 years) I was amazed at the organization, thoroughness, attention to detail, and professional presentation your course was designed to be. Only 6 out of 147 participants in the KiCad section completed the course and received the final manufactured PCB. If it wasn’t for your book, I probably wouldn’t have completed the “free” course. Then I ran across your book and it was a Godsend! I immediately jumped in and went all the way through the 3 projects. I saw and went through every YouTube video I could find and learned the basics of KiCad but it still wasn’t enough to complete the “free” course. The “free” course materials went over very general topics of the entire PCB process, which I was very grateful for and to learn from, but it was up to each participant to “master” their EDA tool. It was a major up hill climb but I was determined to complete it. I chose the KiCad section along with 147 participants learning KiCad. Well I tried the “free course” and it was extremely rigorous and all 300 participants could choose what EDA tool to use (Altrium, Eagle, KiCad,etc…). I haven’t done much PCB work in many years and thought it was about time to get back into it. Just then my lab technician sent out and email about free PCB classes. I have been teaching Electrical Engineering for over 30 years and when the pandemic hit we all had to leave campus and head home to zoom classes. Well is all started in March 2020 with the pandemic. Thanks for saving me during the COVID pandemic with the book and the course!
