An effective demonstration of the phase relationships in a series RLC circuit, resonance and Q, is made possible by multiplexing four signals onto a single channel, thereby converting a single-channel scope to four channels. (Author/GA)

Discusses the problem of the shortage of engineers capable of designing advanced integrated circuits (IC) and presents some suggestions for increasing the number of IC designers in universities and semiconductor companies. (HM)

The ELEXTEC project was initiated to provide better technical education to students enrolled in electronics technology. It was designed to convert a set of materials developed by the U.S. Air Force for teaching electronic principles in a form which could be utilized by civilian technical education institutions. Fourteen colleges participated in…
