Electronic Technology
This Schoolcraft series is designed to help students understand the basics of electronic systems, especially those used in industry. It lays the foundation for the student's work with electronic building blocks, from simple diodes to complex ICs. The program explains how semiconductor devices work and how components are combined to perform tasks, including amplification, oscillation, and signal and power supply regulation. It emphasizes good practices to keep systems running as they should and proper methods for troubleshooting and repair if they do not. The final course provides the foundation for an understanding of how logic circuits work. It progresses from simple Boolean logic functions-AND, OR, NOT, NAND, and NOR gates-to applications in today's common logic systems, including TTL and CMOS.

Testimonials
As a post-secondary professional educator, I occasionally find it difficult to "nudge" students out of their ordinary routine of "memorize, regurgitate, and forget". I have had great success in targeting multiple learning styles using TPC's CBT as a means of breaking this cycle; and in helping my students retain the critical information that they need in order to continue building their knowledge base. I will continue to use TPC materials to help support my classroom discussions regarding assigned reading in multiple disciplines; and can count on TPC to work with me to update this material as industries needs or technology changes.
