26-30 (October 2014)Abstract
It is a challenge to teach electronics in career-oriented two-year programs due to the practical knowledge that must be taught within a limited amount of time. The challenge stems from the balance that must be achieved between theory and practice. There is a huge gap between the fundamentals of electronics that we are still teaching in traditional electronics courses and the real-world electronics used for building modern devices and gadgets. This survey investigates whether it is possible to teach modern electronics for modern industry, particularly in two-year programs. In an attempt to find a solution, various sources are investigated in academia, industry, and professional societies. The goal is to begin a productive discourse to find a solution to this dilemma..
