depends on how talented the students are. Do they know how to run a scope, analyzer, meters....soldering...if not...better start there Digital. Get some simple digital boards done, and have the ability to "break" them....wrong pullups, shorts, opens, wierd clocks, terminations, etc. Analog. Same thing but of course a little bit harder...osciallators that are amps, amps that are oscilators, etc.... Trouble shooting cant be taught from a book. Its all hands on, and understanding the theory behind why its bad, and how to fix it. Thats how *I* would teach a class.

The current text is more of general electronic theory book with small sections on troubleshooting at the end of each chapter. Not very useful. Do any listmembers have any ideas on a suggested text for such a class? THANKS!
