Want to learn how to get from idea to schematic, through layout, all the way to physical boards? Elecia spoke with Chris Gammell about his Contextual Electronics course to teach the missing steps between what an EE learns in college and what an design engineer's job entails.

Chris is co-host of the excellent electronics podcast The Amp Hour and author of Chris Gammell's Analog Life. On twitter, contact Chris via @Chris_Gammell or ask questions about the course @ContextualElec.

We mentioned UT Austin's online embedded systems course which starts soon as well.

Contextual Electronics includes some in-depth KiCad instruction. Some intro (and free) KiCad tutorials:
