Instructions
- Find articles on the Internet about topics related to
electronics and electrical trades.
- Paste at least five interesting Web links into a Word
document, and e-mail
it to bruce@mounttaylor.com

mounttaylor.com (our department's Web area)
- Give a very informal five-minute presentation to the class
next week.
- You may use any of the topics below, even if they don't
apply to the specific class you're taking.
- You may also think up topics of your own, providing they
have something to do with electronics and electrical trades.
wikipedia.org is a good
place to start. They have links to other Web sites at the bottom of
each article.
