Abstract :
In this work, examples from educational programs targeted at high school students and teachers were implemented. The aims of this paper were both to enhance their understanding of how electronics technology works by an intuitive, rather than a mathematical approach, and to raise consciousness of and interest in electronics technology while demonstrating the relevancy of high school course subjects by showing their application to "real-world" electronics. Some suggestions on how the results of current research can be used for the same purposes were also offered.
