Development of Electronic Systems E-Learning Course

Course Description
Discover how modern electronic systems are designed, and brought to life. This course introduces the full development process — from circuit and PCB design to testing, integration, and deployment. You’ll explore topics such as microelectronics, high-speed design, and sensor interfaces, while also learning about industry standards and safety practices.

Developed within the GreenChips-EDU project, the course highlights sustainability in electronics, including circular design, life cycle assessment (LCA), and repairability — preparing learners to create reliable, high-performance, and environmentally responsible systems.

Learning Objectives
Upon completing this course, students will gain a solid understanding of the key design principles that guide the development of modern electronic systems. They will learn how to integrate repairability, recycling, and long-term sustainability into the design process, ensuring that electronic products meet both environmental and functional requirements.

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

• Design complex electronic circuits using suitable components and design methodologies.

• Apply relevant design guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and PCB layout.

• Demonstrate proficiency in circuit design, prototyping, testing, and microelectronic integration.

• Identify and apply relevant industry and medical standards, as well as best practices in electronics development.

• Recognize and address common high-speed design, EMC, and signal integrity challenges.

• Explain how microelectronic systems are developed and integrated into larger electronic designs.

• Select eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes for sustainable electronics.

• Conduct life cycle assessments (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impact of electronic products from production to end-of-life.

• Incorporate repairability and modularity principles to extend product lifetime and reduce electronic waste.

• Implement strategies for recycling, reuse, and responsible disposal of electronic systems.
