Actual electronic design includes a zillion details of actual practice. I have a new PCB layout guy, so we're showing him how we do things.
How are drawings named and numbered? During development and released? Can released drawings be modified? What does a schematic look like? What are standard reference designators? How are pages numbered and titled? What does a title block look like? How are revisions and stuffing options controlled? Where are the official, released drawings archived? Who can change them? What does a PCB look like? What does a BOM look like? What reviews are done? What design records are kept? How are ECOs written and controlled?
and on and on. And then there's firmware.
It occurrs to me that I've picked up this engineering-convention stuff by osmosis from various employers, and made some of it up too. Some people do stuff that seems crazy to me. It's like a trade, carpentry or baking, where people just sort of learn it on the job.
I wonder if there are any industry-wide standards for this sort of thing. Are books published? Do universities teach courses?
