Students are introduced to the concept of binary coding as a language and its practical applications in digital and communication systems.This project gives students a deeper appreciation for communication systems and an understanding of how binary symbols are used to transmit information.

As technology progresses in our society, more and more everyday items are becoming digital. Engineers use the binary system in the design of many of these digital devices. Translate decimal to binary representation.Translate binary to decimal representation.Describe the difference between digital and analog designs.Explain how digital systems such as binary code relate to real-world applications, for example in CD-ROMs, video games, digital cameras and cellular phones.Describe how working with binary is cumbersome, error prone and difficult for humans to read.490TeachEngineering.orgKaren Panetta, Cissy George, Masumi Patel, Katie Cargill, Erica Wilson, Peter Wong, and Meredith Knight, CEEO, Tufts Universityhttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/wpi_/activities/wpi_coding/introduction.dochttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/wpi_/activities/wpi_coding/introduction.pdfhttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/wpi_/activities/wpi_coding/rubric.dochttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/wpi_/activities/wpi_coding/rubric.pdfhttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/wpi_/activities/wpi_coding/worksheet.dochttp://www.teachengineering.org/collection/wpi_/activities/wpi_coding/worksheet.pdfhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/alfredth/archive/2010/04/01/resources-for-teaching-binary-numbers.aspxhttp://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~jam/chicksrock/past-women-cs.htmlhttp://www.garlikov.com/Soc_Meth.htmlhttp://spaceplace.jpl.nasa.gov/en/kids/vgr_fact2.shtmlS100A0B1MassachusettsScience3.1 Identify and explain the components of a communication system, i.e., source, encoder, transmitter, receiver, decoder, storage, retrieval, and destination.68United StatesCopyright 2012 - Center for Engineering Educational Outreach, Tufts Universityhttp://www.teachengineering.org/policy_ipp.phphttp://www.teachengineering.org/2012-03-187Teacher
