Every PCB project relies on signal routing for reliable performance. Incorrect routing can lead to reflections, EMI, and signal degradation, even if the schematic is correct. Mastering these skills ensures that your designs work reliably—from USB circuits to general high-speed electronics.This course focuses on practical techniques to design reliable signal routing in multilayer PCBs, with a hands-on approach using KiCAD. Through a structured, demo-driven curriculum, you will learn controlled impedance routing, differential pair layout, noise reduction, and high-speed routing best practices. By following a consistent USB-to-UART project, you will see each concept applied directly, enabling you to design boards that are functional, reliable, and manufacturable.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
