My education included calculating Ohm's Law values, drawing out transistor circuits and logic gates, etc... basically, all the stuff the article says no STEM student should leave high school without. And as a systems engineer (which is closer to the hardware than a software engineer), I can authoritatively tell you that the knowledge has zero applicability.
The only benefit was that the discussion on logic gates and truth tables is directly applicable to conditional processing in a program flow. I can also certify that the same knowledge could have been conveyed without ever discussing the digital circuitry.
