The Future of PCB Design Education: HaSofu Founder Kirsch Mackey

OnTrack · 21 May 2025 · 51m · Episode 299

What this episode covers

Kirsch Mackey, founder of HaSofu, explains how his educational platform bridges the gap between academic theory and industry requirements for PCB and hardware design. He discusses the realistic limitations of AI in engineering workflows, warning that while AI can accelerate tasks, it cannot replace the deterministic reasoning required for physical design. Mackey details HaSofu's curriculum, which covers topics from basic electronics to embedded firmware using platforms like STM32 and 8051, and outlines future plans for power electronics and AI engineering courses.
