8.Electronics design
Overview
The transcript summarizes a lecture on electronics design automation (EDA) tools and workflows for designing printed circuit boards (PCBs). It provides an overview of key electronic components and their functions, followed by a tour of EDA software packages for schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation and output. The lecture highlights benefits of open-source tools like KiCad, as well as emerging browser-based options like SVGPCB. It concludes with a discussion of affordable test equipment and assignments focused on gaining hands-on experience with the full electronics development process.

Making 3Dmodel
I have two daughters and as they grew up and their chairs got smaller, I decided to make a chair for them.

The current child's chair was measured and it was considered as one size larger, with dimensions of 400mm x 300mm x 450mm.
