The result of the study shows that: (1) a transparent teaching model (TTM) was needed as the teaching model for electronic education; (2) there is low contingency correlation between lecturers’ rank and the transparent teaching model (C=0.28 low compared to C _max =0.82). Transparent means clear, obvious, complete, satisfactory, professional, doubtless, and error free. There are five kinds of TTMs appropriate for the Department of Electronics: (1) Theoretical TTm; (2) Laboratory TTM;(3)Workshop TTm; (4) Student Individual Study; and (5) Lecturers’ job assignment.
