Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, a key component in the world of electronic engineering, is a complex and nuanced process that brings electronic circuits to life. This introduction covers the basics of PCB design, highlighting its significance, methodology, and core concepts, providing a foundation for anyone looking to begin their journey in this fascinating field.

PCB design marries theoretical world of electronic engineering with practical application, allowing theoretical circuits to manifest in physical, functional forms. As technologies evolve, so too do PCB design methodologies, with designers continuously learning and adapting to new processes, standards, and tools. The journey from novice to expert is long but learning the basics is the first, essential step towards mastery in this vital aspect of electronics.
