CBD dont need Engineering Degrees?
I cannot speak for Circuit Boards, but in oil/gas facilities engineering, designers work with engineers. The engineer takes legal responsibility but depends on many different designers to produce a set of drawings.
Not necessarily. You are not there to design the circuits. That’s up to engineering. You are there to put the engineers designs into a circuit board design. Circuit Board Designers are there to service engineering. What you do need to know is how a circuit board is manufactured. Follow Mil-Std-275 and you can handle just about anything. Learning manufacturing can be attained by visiting a few manufacturing plants once in awhile. A designer must understand what can and cannot be manufactured. Take the knowledge and put it into the design. Design can’t be learned over night but will little effort, it can become second nature. Kind of like an artist. In fact, a designer is an artist of sorts.
