The article presents several information about electronic design in the United States. "Electronic Design" magazine's partnership with Discover Circuits has linked two of the electronic industry’s best engineering resources. Discover Circuits offers more than 11,000 schematics cross-referenced into over 500 categories, including circuits designed by site creator David Johnson. Meanwhile, according to a survey, the preferred tool for engineering calculations are: specialized math software; spreadsheet; HP RPN calculator; slide rule; and pencil and paper. Lastly, a LeCroy technical seminar, featuring Dr. Michael Lauterbach, focuses on new techniques and technology for capturing very high-frequency signals, up to 100 GHz, using both real-time and sampling oscilloscopes.
