Communications Systems Technology is an experienced-based
course that integrates science and mathematics to study
systems that are used in a global society. Activities include
the study of information technology systems and the dynamics
of the communication processes that occur between human
to human, human to machine, and machine to machine. Students
will use a variety of technology tools to create solutions
to real-world problems
in communications.
Activities and content areas include: communications systems; computers
as a communications tool; the technical design process; electronic imaging
and multimedia; audiovisual communications and telecommunications.
The integration of mathematics, science, and other disciplines will be
utilized as students manipulate and decode data; create, build and use
communications systems; and
solve technological problems creatively.
