Nicholas McGill-Gardner,
EE Professor, University of Pennsylvania
“Altium 365 has been a game changer this year. My teaching team had an easier time assisting students with comments and grading all the assignments. There have been a number of pain points in the past that have been solved with the whole spread of A365 features. Students find it to be a breeze”

Sabrina Yarzada
UC Davis, Senior Electrical & Computer Engineering
“I was first introduced to Altium Designer through the EE Emerge Course at UC Davis. Having Altium designer skills gave me an edge among other applicants in getting interviews and ultimately landing me an internship at NASA Jet Propulsion Labs”
Andre Knoesen
UC Davis, Chair Electrical and Computer Engineering
“One of the most important things for our EE or CE students is gaining knowledge of Altium Designer. Students' skills in Altium Designer help them attain high visibility with employers and it is often the differentiator among other applicants as they are looking for internships or jobs upon graduation.”
