[TriEmbed] N-MOSFET Symbol

[Grawburg]

Pete is 100% correct.
The intention is get them acquainted with standard symbols. In the case of the N-MOSFET it's to help them see it is
more than a NPN transistor in a thick case.  
The other comments made about this topic have been helpful...they all go into my notebook.

Thanks,
Brian
