Teaching modern electronics and electrical circuit design in the field of telecommunications and broadcast television

In the article topical issues of teaching the basics of electronics and electrical circuit design in the field of telecommunication and broadcast television are considered. Significant scientific discoveries were made in the field of microelectronics during the last third of the 20th century, and the content of existing courses needs to be changed accordingly. Entirely new technologies and materials were developed and a new scientific direction was formed - nanoelectronic. The technological advance is evident when considering a modern transistor: carbon nanotube used in modern non-volatile memory chips is an example of an advanced technology, as well as memristor, used in neural networks of a new type. Teaching the details of these new methods and materials is not possible within a University course. However, it is suggested by the author that at least the basic knowledge of these novel technologies should be included in a content of modern electronics and electrical circuit design courses.
