1. Communication Technology Information / Communication Technology Communicating Using Technology Communicating Solutions

2. Information and Technology Human’s have the ability to think, plan, and process information. The ability to know is a basic input to technology. Knowledge lets people develop and use technological products and systems. Think Plan Process

3. Data, Information, and Knowledge Data: Individual facts, statistics, and ideas. Not sorted nor arranged in any manner Information: Data that has been sorted and arranged. Organized facts and opinions. Knowledge: Information humans can logically apply to situations.

4. Types of Knowledge Scientific Knowledge: explains laws and principles governing the universe. Humanities Knowledge: explains how people have formed societies, and expressed themselves through art and music. Descriptive Knowledge: explains how people use words and numbers to describe objects and events. Technological Knowledge: describes how people use tools and materials to produce products and systems

5. Technological Knowledge Knowledge of Action Involves using information and resources to control and/or modify the natural and human-made environment

6. Communication Data and information is useless unless its shared. Communication is the act of exchanging ideas, information, and opinions. When we use technical equipment to communicate, its called Communication technology

7. Communication Technology Uses equipment and systems to send and receive information, utilizing graphic or wave (electric) systems. Graphic Communication: Drawings Graphs Photographs Words on flat surfaces Wave Communication Light Sound Electromagnetic

8. Producing Messages Designing the Message Preparing the Message Producing the Message Delivering the Message

9. Act of Communicating Purpose of Communication IDEAS: An idea is a mental image of what a person thinks something should be. INFORMATION: Provides a concrete foundation for decision making and action EMOTION: Ideas or information can be used to stimulate feeling.

10. Act of Communicating Goals of Communication INFORM: By providing information about people, events, or relationships. PERSUADE: To influence people to act in a certain way. ENTERTAIN: Amuse and/or interest people as they participate in or observe events and performances.

11. Types of Communication Systems Machine to Machine People to Machine People to People Machine to People

12. People to People Communication Telecommunication Audio and Video Recording Computer Printing Systems Photographic Systems Drafting Systems

13. Other Machine to Machine: Machines providing information to other machines (CAD system > CAM System) Machine to People: Gauges, lights, and alarms that communicate to people (traffic light, fuel gauge, alarm clock) People to Machine: People set controls “telling” machines how to operate.

14. Communication Process Message Input EncodeTransmit StoreRetrieve ENCODING: The message is changed into a form that can be transmitted. TRANSMITTING: Transmission of the message involves a communication channel, or carrier.

15. Communication Process Message Output DecodeReceive Retrieve Store Incoming Message RECEIVING: The receiver gathers the message and decodes the message. INTERFERENCE: All communication models have a form of interference, which impairs the accurate communication of the message.

16. Communicating Solutions Bill of Materials: Lists and describes parts needed to build the solution Drawings: Used to show size and shape, and how parts fit together Specifications Sheet: Describes items that can not be shown in drawing, much more exact than Bills of Materials.

17. Mechanical Drawings Engineering: Used to communicate products that will be manufactured. Architectural: Communicate building and structures that will be constructed

18. Detailed Drawings Detailed: Show the exact size and shape of the pieces Assembly: Shows how pieces fit together.

19. Detailed Drawings Schematic: Used to show how parts are connected and fit together to form a system

20. Drawing Classifications Orthographic: Also called Multi-view, used to show objects in separate 2 dimensional views. Pictorial: Are like pictures, that show how objects look to the eye (3-D).

21. Pictorial Drawings Isometric: Most common, drawing are created with equal angles to each other, drawing set at 30 degrees from horizontal.

22. Pictorial Drawings Perspective: 3-D view used in presentations that use vanishing points to simulate what the eye sees.

23. Pictorial Drawings Oblique: Not used often, used to show the side of an object that is most important.

24. Mechanical Drawing Tools Computer-aided Design (CAD) CPU Processor Plot Printer CAD Software Traditional tools T-square Triangles Compass Drawing Board
