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.
