Over the summer, I assisted as a part of UTK's Integrated Circuits and Systems Laboratory. I completed the Altium Education free course and received a digital certificate. I was able to go from understanding that a PCB is a green board with lines on it, to understanding things like:

Layer stack-ups and reasons behind different layer configurations.




What is trace impedance? And how we can use our trace width and layer stack to manipulate this value.




basic high-speed design and signal/power integrity techniques.
