DESCRIPTION:This session provides an introduction to Printed Circuit Board 
 (PCB) design\, covering the essential principles every engineer should kno
 w before starting their first project. Participants will learn about commo
 n design challenges and how professionals overcome them through practical 
 approaches and proven techniques. The session also explores good layout ha
 bits and the reasoning behind them\, helping students understand how thoug
 htful component placement and routing can improve circuit performance and 
 reliability. Real-world examples and stories from professional projects wi
 ll highlight how design decisions impact results\, and attendees will gain
  valuable tips for beginners to confidently begin creating their own PCB l
 ayouts.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Juan Tovar\n\nRoom: 211\, Bldg: Engineering Bu
