- PM> I am interested in hearing what you might suggest in terms of Electronics
- PM>curriculum for Junior and Senior High School students. We are considering
-
- Paul, I was interested in your message regarding electronics
- curriculum development for Junior and Senior high school
- students. Within the last 15 years electronics has become one of
- the "basics" of our workplaces and cultures. Yet, I have not
- seen a corresponding increase in the number or percentage of
- student hours in electronics. Few schools have successfully
- added electronics and those who have electronics often find low
- enrollments. So, your curriculum project is a critical one.
-
- I am not an electronics teacher nor technician, but I have seen
- electronics classes from elementary to college. From what I have
- seen, how you handle, "What to do about Math?" will be your most
- critical question. There is plenty of electronics instructional
- material, but Math will make or break your program. Using math
- to teach electronics will drive away novice students. Using
- electronics to teach math will limit how much electronics you can
- teach upper level students.
-
- Please keep me posted. Some high schools
- have traveling electronics labs, I would like to help them with
- what to teach.
