Students at the Institute of Process Automation and Embedded Systems at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences for Technology, Economics and Culture, are now taking the unified approach to their electronics design projects.
Masters students at the Faculty of Electrotechnology and Information Technology work with Altium Designer as part of their “Embedded Systems” module to improve their skills in circuit design, analysis and testing. Practical applications include the drafting of circuit diagrams and the simulation of circuits, as well as the analysis and verification of completed circuit boards and appliances.

And the unified Altium design environment is popular amongst the budding engineers.

Prof. Matthias Sturm from Leipzig University comments: “The comprehensive Altium Training Centre, with its countless videos and handbooks, really helps those new to the tool to quickly get up to speed with Altium Designer. It also enables the university for the first time to cover the entire development process for embedded systems with just a single design tool. This significantly reduces the previously often lengthy learning processes required to get accustomed to various design tools for tasks such as the drafting of circuit diagrams, simulations, integration of embedded software components and PCB routing. The Altium solution provides an ideal preparation for the demands of professional life with regards to integrated project planning and execution. All in all, it is a well designed and implemented tool, which is already setting new educational standards for the engineers of tomorrow.”

Martin Harris, Altium’s Vice President EMEA, said, Predicting the teaching tools needed by the next generation of engineers is always going to be difficult, especially as technology continues to develop so rapidly. So it's very pleasing the Leipzig University feels that Altium Designer fits its needs as a university, and those of its students.

Tomorrow's European engineers will face new competitors from around the world. They need to experience a next generation design tool that opens their minds to new possibilities and new opportunities, early in their careers.
