"Circuit design" and "mechanical design" are essential and important processes in product development. Circuit design involves the design of printed circuit boards using analog circuits and microcontrollers, while mechanical design requires casing design and structural design, each influencing the performance of the product. ■ Circuit Design This refers to the design of printed circuit boards and circuits used within electronic devices, primarily aiming to realize necessary functions by utilizing analog and digital circuits. This includes the design of signal processing and control functions using operational amplifiers and microcontrollers. ■ Mechanical Design This process involves designing the appearance and structure of the product, including casing design and structural design, shaping the final form of the product from various perspectives such as durability, aesthetics, and manufacturability. It is often conducted as part of mechanical design, characterized by consideration of not only functionality but also the overall user experience and safety of the product. The two main differences are that circuit design focuses on the design of electronic internal functions, while mechanical design emphasizes physical shapes and responses to external environments. A commonality is that the creativity and ideas of engineers are indispensable.
