One of a series of curriculum guides prepared for the electricity/electronics occupations cluster, this guide identifies the essentials of the communication and industrial electronics trade as recommended by the successful electrical servicemen. An instructional program based upon the implementation of the guide is expected to prepare a student to adequately perform entry level tasks required of a serviceman or to enter a post-secondary technical or apprenticeship program in electronics where additional depth can be realized. Trade tasks or information are listed in chart form in two sections: Communications Electronics and Industrial Electronics. Typical section subheadings are safety, communication skills, job relations, mathematics, electromechanical, basic electricity, test and measuring equipment, basic thermodynamics, magnetic controls, special tools and materials, and general competencies. Space is provided on the charts to record for each item the date completed, teaching methods used, and teaching materials used. Also included are a list of teacher responsibilities, sources of occupational information, recommended tests and references, and a chart depicting the total electricity/electronics occupational curriculum. A typical application for employment and a sample trade and industrial education injury report are appended. (HD)
