Prototyping Avionics: Course Description
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a widely used technology in aviation electronics. Employed to support and connect electronic components, PCBs are less expensive and quicker to manufacture than their earlier counterparts, protoboards and wirewrap. In this Aeronautics and Astronautics course, students learn about the PCB manufacturing process, from designing a schematic to testing and debugging a prototype. Additionally, course lectures cover the fundamental concepts of electrical engineering. Originally taught by Professor Alvar Saenz-Otero, Ph.D., 'Prototyping Avionics' is a free self-study course.
This course consists of lecture notes, problem sets and a project outline. To learn more about creating PCB prototypes, visit MIT's avionics course page.
