Georgetown University was founded in 1789 by John Carroll. It began with around 40 students and grew over time, though the Civil War caused enrollment to temporarily drop. The university has since expanded to include additional schools like Medicine and Law, and now enrolls thousands of graduate and undergraduate students as one of the largest Jesuit universities.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in system science and engineering. It begins with an introduction that discusses the motivation for and organization of the document. The first part then defines systems and system concepts like classification, science, engineering, functions, behaviors, structures, properties, characteristics, life cycles and modeling. It also discusses related topics like feedback, thinking processes, statistics, and probability. The second part focuses on a case study of dependability, examining attributes, threats, means of prevention and tolerance of faults, errors and failures. Overall, the document aims to illustrate fundamental system science topics and their applications through examples, models and a dependability case study.
Berlo's SMCR model of communication outlines the key components in the communication process:
(1) The Source encodes a message using their communication skills, attitudes, knowledge, and social system.
(2) The Message is encoded and includes elements like content, structure, code, and treatment. It is sent through a Channel, which can be hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, or tasting.
(3) At the receiving end, the Decoder (Receiver) decodes the message using their own communication skills, attitudes, knowledge, and social system.
The document discusses David K. Berlo's 1960 model of communication. Berlo's model focuses on four elements in the communication process: the source, message, channel, and receiver. It describes factors that can influence each of these elements, such as communication skills, attitudes, knowledge, social systems, and culture. The model presents a linear view of communication and does not account for feedback or barriers to communication.
The document discusses three models of communication:
1) The Continuous Loop Model is the earliest and simplest model, showing the basic parts of the communication process including sender, message, channels, receiver, and feedback. However, it assumes continuous communication.
2) The Shannon and Weaver Model was developed in 1949 based on a study of telephone conversations. It includes a sender, transmitter, receiver, noise, and how noise can alter the message.
3) Berlo's model was intended to be all-inclusive but was never tested. It is therefore considered a theory rather than a true model, showing elements like content, code, and characteristics of both the sender and receiver.
Communication involves a sender encoding a message and transmitting it through a channel to a receiver. The receiver then decodes the message and provides feedback to the sender. For successful communication, the message must pass from the sender through the channel without noise distorting the transmission from the encoding to the decoding.
