Course Description

What students say about this course:

"This course is very informative. As electrical engineer, I am honestly getting valuable information through this program. COURSE WAS EXCELLENT BOTH IN PRESENTATION AND PACKAGE", Ivwionoku

"Great info on standards, where to get them and how to implement them practically in CAD!", Alvaro

"Great details on safety aspects of products with clear methodologies of design using informative examples. Thank you so much!", Pramit

Last Update:

******** October 10th, 2016 - Added a section on how to set and check clearance and creepage in a PCB Design CAD Software.
Section name "PCB CAD/CAM SOFTWARE - CLEARANCE AND CREEPAGE"

Course Description

Being a capable electronics designer does not make you a good one.

Being an expert in Arduino,Raspberry, firmware, embedded softwareand microcontrollers,hardware, PCB design, digital and analog design, is only a part of what designers need to know.

A beautiful and functional product can be appealing, but if basic safety rules are not taken into account even before starting the actual design activities, a poor design can endanger people and cause its designer big troubles.

This course focuses on design safety with respect to electrical/electronics application, including PCB design. It covers the most important aspects that designers need to know, and it teaches a general methodology to develop electronics and electrical applications (including PCB) in compliance with safety principles and international standards.

+++++ Have a look at the course curriculum +++++

At the end of the course:

you will be able to find in international standards and understand the applicable electrical safety requirements foryour electronics projectyou will be able to calculate the most important parameters like clearance/creepage distance and solid insulation, to be considered during insulation, electronics and PCB designyou will be able to set and check creepage and clearance on PCB CAD/CAM Softwareyou will be able to choose the proper IP isolation against ingress of water and solid particles

you will be able to choose critical electronics components and verify their certifications

you will know what insulation diagrams are and how to make and use them

you will know what international standards are, how they are made and where you can find them

and you will understand the design process and steps toward a compliant product

so basically you will be able todesign a functional, safe and ready for the market electrical application.

We will introduce the basic concepts and techniques of electrical, electronics and PCB design for safety, teaching you the path to a project compliant with product safety legislation.

We will cover both basic electrical definitions like the product classification and more advance conceptslike creepage calculation and critical electronics components.

Throughout the course you will find practical examples on how to use these techniques on electrical and electronics household appliances design (e.
g. food mixers and electric toasters), and also how to set some parameters in a CAD/CAM Software for PCB design.

We will take as a reference the most important andrecognised international safety standards, like IEC 60335 series, IEC 60529, and the like.

The last section will be dedicated to describe the whole design process, from the design specifications to final verification and validation, with a practicalexample on an electric toaster design.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The course is made essentially of video lessons, but reference to guidelines and datasheets are provided, when considered useful.

You will alsofind severaltests. We strongly recommend to take the tests before proceeding to check the concept you have learned.

If you really wantto understand the safety related part of an electrical/electronics and PCB designand complete your technical culture with this important cornerstone, this course is a must.

HAPPY LEARNING!!!
Who this course is for:
This course is for student, professionals and hobbyist engaged with or interested in electrical/electronics design

Conceptos bsicos pero solidos, siempre considero tener mayor cantidad de ejercicios que teora.

Clear voice, good examples and techniques

By Islam Ramadan Ali on 10/11/2020

very useful course

By Anujith R S on 10/8/2020

good

By Albert Wong on 9/17/2020

Simple to understand but yet enough introductory information! Bravo

By Suhaimi on 8/4/2020

well, i didn't expect this covers on some basic topics.
because going with an assumption that OCB design safety is for someone who already experienced in electronics but need some more depth in technical.
should put (BASIC) on the title.

By George Thomas Kollamkulam on 7/14/2020

I was looking for something more technical, specifically in the field of PCB design. Nevertheless, this course covered some other important ideas on a top level.

By Eniyaudhayan S on 6/16/2020

very basic

By Julien Lapp on 6/12/2020

This is a very instructive course. It delivers us all the basics we need to have to know when designing a product.
The explainations are clear and easy to follow.
Cheers !
Julien

good course, thanks

By BARAKA Hatim on 6/11/2020

I'm sorry to rate the lesson like this, but there are few reasons why I did:
- This is not intermediate as it was advertised
- The professor is (most of the time) just reading what is written on the presentation
- The questions are very easy, they don't really evaluate our understanding
- Cutting the lessons into 1 or 3 minutes is distracting. Why not cutting them into at 10-minute or longer chunks to keep our concentration.
I really hope this course gets better since it contains valuable information for beginners.
Thank you professor

By Edgar on 6/10/2020

So far is very basic
