Hardware Quality Training Classes
This training course will teach hardware engineers the basics of and provide insights into printed circuit design.
The quality of this important part of hardware design is closely linked to the knowledge of the consequences of a series of decisions.
Having in-depth understanding of the most complex situations comes after years of trial and error, each one teaching important details. By attending this training course an engineer will be able to save part of this time and the associated costs of having to rework during the design phase.
