A Revamped Laboratory Course in Electronics Based upon Wartime Practices

HARVEY A. ZINSZER Fort Hays Kansas State College, Hays. In the Radar Program at Harvard University during the recent world war it was apparent, both at the time of the entrance examination for admission to the course and throughout the course itself, that officers who had had previous training in electronics made a showing superior to those who were not similarly prepared. This information and tle demands for experienced electronicians in navigation, airborne and marine, in the weather service, in telephony, in television, and pre-eminently in radio, make it desirable that departments of physics include in their undergraduate curriculum a substantial course in electronics along with the other traditional courses in that field.
