Communications Technology 12.
This is an advanced course in communication technology. The course involves a hands-on approach where students will develop problem-solving skills; develop insight into and application of technological concepts, processes, and systems; develop good work habits, creative abilities and co-operation. The course is activity based and requires students to combine “know how” and ability in carrying out technological work.
The course is comprised of two mandatory units, and two optional units. Outcomes for the mandatory units are listed below. Information about the optional units will appear on Moodle, along with course content. Access to Moodle is available by signing up for an NSPES email.
