+Eagle is a program that you can use to make printed circuit boards.
+It uses a visual format which is similar to, but not quite the same as, how you would normally draw circuit diagrams. It has a lot of snazzy features which make it very desirable for hacker/diy sorta people:
+  *  You can get a legit copy for free right here: http:<nowiki>//</nowiki>www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/?language=en
+  *  There is a decent community and lots of free parts libraries here: http:<nowiki>//</nowiki>www.cadsoftusa.com/downloads/libraries?language=en
+  *  It has a very nice output system that lets you customize production files easily
+  *  It is fully scriptable if you decide you want to learn the ulp language. Doc here: http:<nowiki>//</nowiki>www.cadsoftusa.com/downloads/file/ulp640_en.pdf
+  *  It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
+**About the class**
+  *  Class should be 2-3 hours
+  *  By the end, you should be able to build and export basic schematics and board layouts
+  *  Instructor will provide some Rules and Gerber settings that you can use with most fabricators
+  *  Afterward, you should have enough confidence to explore the rest yourself
+**Topics Covered:**
+  *  Turning circuit diagrams into Eagle schematic files
+  *  Creating layouts (board files) from Eagle schematics
+  *  Building custom parts
+  *  Creating text and marks
+  *  Outputting production files (Gerbers)
+  *  A few clever tricks for this and that
+  *  Avoiding a few things that will make you angry
+**Materials required:**
+  *  A computer running Cadsoft Eagle.
+  *  A circuit diagram to work on. (optional)
+Eagle is not hard to learn, but it is kind of tedious at first. Trying to figure it out by yourself is really annoying, but with just a little help, everything goes a lot more smoothly.
