As for electronics I am no longer sure it is as important today as it was
when I learned it, also in the 50's. In those days electronics was really
applied physics. Today electronics means many things to many people.
To some it means what it used to be but most often it is defined
(implicitly) as a skill of connecting (or replacing) black boxes, such as
operational amplifiers, etc. The components, usually hidden, are too
small to investigate.

Since I began teaching (in the 50's) I have argued for basic electronics
as a necessary ingredient of the physics curriculum, citing its ubiquity
in the implementation of almost any modern experimental procedure.
