Today's electronics engineers have the ability to [[Circuit design|design]] [[Electronic circuit|circuits]] using premanufactured building blocks such as [[power supplies]], [[semiconductor]]s (i.e. semiconductor devices, such as transistors), and integrated circuits. [[Electronic design automation]] software programs include [[schematic capture]] programs and [[printed circuit board]] design programs. Popular names in the EDA software world are NI Multisim, [[Cadence Design Systems|Cadence]] ([[ORCAD]]), [[EAGLE (program)|EAGLE]] PCB<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 April 2023 |title=PCB design made easy for every engineer |url=https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription |website=Autodesk |access-date=19 April 2023 |archive-date=19 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230419124207/https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/overview?term=1-YEAR&tab=subscription |url-status=live }}</ref> and Schematic, [[Mentor Graphics|Mentor]] (PADS PCB and LOGIC Schematic), [[Altium]] (Protel), LabCentre Electronics (Proteus), [[gEDA]], [[KiCad]] and many others.
