Phil, Yes, I'm catching up on e-mail.
Your description of physics cirriculum brought me back to my high school physics which was called "PSSC" based on the work done at MIT and described in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Science_Study_Committee. I had been licensed a couple of years by then (1962) and found PSSC physics fit me to a tee! My bachelor studies in vocational education decades later showed how the approached used by the PSSC was smart and useful, something being "re-discovered" today by educators who often are behind their peers. The Wikipedia article above includes a mention of Heathkit's products that were modified to fit the PSSC model. In between high school and my vocational education experience I taught electronics for Eastern New Mexico University while stationed at Canon AFB. I used the text by Robert Schraeder "Electronic Communication" which one can find used today. I lent mine to my Air Force boss and bought another recently. Schraeder, like so few, has the ability to write clearly about difficult concepts that makes them seem simple. That text made my teaching much easier! "The Art of Electronics" will certainly fit into my reading schedule, in which I am also way behind. 73, Bill, K8TE "My undergraduate degree is Physics and back in the 1960s, my physics curriculum included a similar course study. This was all about using lab equipment but also making the necessary little electronic gadgets that were important to work in a physics research laboratory. When I took my course, the book "The Art of Electronics" did not exist and we never had a text book in our course." -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
