Hello
I intend to give an informal instructional classes on Eagle to students at our university. I am not certified or anything to use Eagle but I just wanted to promote PCB designing among our students and was thinking of an outline for the classes. Each class is to be about an hour and a half and the course will continue for 4-5 days. This is the outline I have planned (just the idea), I wanted suggestions from different Eagle users on the forum on what could be improved with regard to the topics covered or the sequence. I would be very grateful for this.
Day 1:
1. Introduction to Printed Circuits
2. Introduction to basic terminology used for PCBs
Day 2:
1.Introduction to EAGLE Cadsoft GUI
2. Making your first schematic (Exploring libraries and other options, DRC, ERC)
Day 3:
1. Transferring your schematic in to a PCB layout (Explaining different options such as auto-routing, layers etc)
Day 4:
1. Introduction to using UlP's in Eagle.
2. Generating gerber files for the board.
Day 5:
1. Demonstration of making a PCB with the toner transfer method.
I know this is very crude but the lectures will be very informal and I just want to promote the use of Eagle as a PCB design tool.
Thanks in advance.
PS: If I have flouted forum rules, then I apologise for my mistake.
