Intro
Hello there! I’m Kevin Li, the current EE lead for WARG.
The electrical bootcamp consists of a PCB Design course using an industry grade PCB CAD software known as Altium Designer. The course is taught by Robert Feranec, a well-established PCB designer and educator. By completing this course you will gain the following skills with Altium Designer (these skills are easily transferable to other PCB CAD software):
Schematic symbols and PCB footprints creation from scratch
Schematic capture
PCB component placement, layout, and polygon creation
Output job file generation
The course is rather long, but completing it quickly will grant you faster entry into completing relevant tasks for WARG EE.
We have just created a new bootcamp that integrates both Altium Designer skill development and learning relevant electronics theory in a concise manner. It is relatively new so we encourage everyone to leave questions in the #ee-bootcamp channel in discord.
For any WARG related messages we highly encourage using public discord channels over direct messages to improve visibility and transparency with the whole team; most of us don’t bite so don’t worry
Steps
- Message in #electrical your name, your program, and that you’re getting started on the bootcamp
- Change your discord nickname to your real name
- Pickup the bootcamper role from #roles (if you haven’t already finished a bootcamp for another subteam)
- Head over to EE Bootcamp S2022 Tutorial to get started!
