Hardware & PCB Design Mastery — Course Introduction Part 1

Hardware & PCB Design Mastery — Course Introduction

Most people learn electronics by solving equations and drawing circuits.
Very few learn how to design real, reliable hardware products.

In this video, I introduce Hardware & PCB Design Mastery, a comprehensive, practical course where you’ll learn how to design a complete IoT Sensor Node from concept to finished product—the same way professional hardware engineers do it in industry.

This course is not about random schematics or theory alone.
It’s about thinking in systems, making the right design decisions early, and understanding how hardware moves from an idea to a manufacturable, testable product.

You’ll learn:

What hardware product development really means
How to think beyond circuits and start designing systems
How professionals approach architecture, power, and reliability
Why many hardware projects fail before production
What skills you need to become a confident hardware engineer

Throughout this course, we will design a real, battery-powered IoT Sensor Node using:

An STM32 microcontroller
A dedicated Wi-Fi chip
Multiple sensors (temperature, humidity, IMU, accelerometer)
GPIO expansion
USB-C power and battery management

We’ll go step by step through:

System architecture and block diagrams
Component selection and trade-offs
Schematics and library creation
PCB placement and layout techniques
Signal integrity and power integrity fundamentals
Design for manufacturing and testing
BOM, production files, and real-world considerations

This course is built especially for:

Students who want real hardware skills
Young engineers transitioning from theory to practice
Anyone serious about building hardware products
Engineers in Africa and beyond who want structured, practical learning

If you’re tired of guessing your way through hardware design and want a clear, professional pathway—from idea to real product—this course is for you.
