Communication Technologies
Broad Concept: Ideas can be communicated though engineering drawings, written reports, and pictures.
| 3.1 | Identify and explain the components of a communication system, i.e., source, encoder, transmitter, receiver, decoder, storage, retrieval, and destination. |
| 3.2 | Identify and explain the appropriate tools, machines, and electronic devices (e.g., drawing tools, computer-aided design, and cameras) used to produce and/or reproduce design solutions (e.g., engineering drawings, prototypes, and reports). |
| 3.3 | Identify and compare communication technologies and systems, i.e., audio, visual, printed, and mass communication. |
| 3.4 | Identify and explain how symbols and icons (e.g., international symbols and graphics) are used to communicate a message. |
