Wow. We had an elective "electricity" class in high school (small K-12 school in US) and we basically went over Ohm's law and how to use a multimeter. Sounds like you had something closer to what first year EE majors get.
- grecy 12y agoFunny you should say that. I went on to Study Software Engineering with a minor in Digital Electronics. In my 5th and final year, I took an electronics class called "Digital Electric Design" which actually turned out to be my only hands-on Electronics course at University. All the EE people were shocked to see me there, as I'd not been in all the same hands-on EE type classes as them for the prior 4 years. (I think we only had Maths in common) They were more that a little shocked I knew how to use a soldering iron, acid etch bath, multimeter, had the resistor charts memorized etc. etc. Apparently, they'd spend the preceding 4 years learning that at Universtiy which I had learned in high school. (The Australians had learned it in High School too, but my university was majority international students)
- ratscabies 12y agoI don't know if they kind of back slid over the years, But what you learned in high school sound similar to what I did in high school in the late 70s. I used to love playing with the radio shack electronic experimenters kit with spring terminals and color coded wires too!
