The Basic Electronics Course and Kit is intended for those teachers and instructors that want a ready resource that they can adapt to their instruction of electronic fundamentals. The materials include a PowerPoint presentation and instructor's script. The course is designed around affordable components, prototyping board, and VOM which are included in the kit. The topics discussed during the course include:

• The Components of Electricity
  
• Volt-Ohm-Meter Basics (Measuring Electricity
  
• Circuit Diagrams Basics (Electronic Roadmaps)
  
• The Resistor
  
• Ohm's Law
  
• The Capacitor
  
• The Inductor
  
• The Diode
  
• The Transistor (Electronic Valves)

The topics up to and including Ohm's Law are considered the most basic and are covered in detail. The remaining topics cover additional fundamental components of basic electronics, however they receive only brief coverage.

The course can be presented in platform discussion, guided practice, and open question format as the material dictates.

The recommended reference for this course is Understanding Basic Electronics, sold separately.
