LOS ANGELES CITY COLLEGE 80TH ANNIVERSARY CATALOG 2008-2009
This course is an introduction to science, engineering and technology. Topics
include history, careers, engineering calculations, engineering design
process, professional ethics and responsibility. Emphasis is placed on student
development and academic success.
ENGINEERING 131
Statics
3 UNITS – (UC:CSU)
Prerequisite: Physics 101 with a satisfactory grade or equivalent.
Co-requisite: Mathematics 262 or equivalent.
Two and three dimensional vector forces, resultants, components, and moments
are applied to determine equilibrium conditions in trusses, frames,
and machines. Center of mass, centroids, friction, and moments of inertia of
area and mass are included. Both analytical and graphical solutions are
considered.
ENGINEERING 151
Materials of Engineering
3 UNITS – (UC:CSU)
Prerequisite: Physics 101 and Chemistry 101 with satisfactory grades or
better or equivalent.
Covers properties of materials related to atomic and crystal structures; Topics:
atomic structure and bonding; crystalline structures; phases and phase
diagrams; metals; polymers; ceramics; composites; mechanical deformation
and fracture; and electrical and magnetic properties. Also: optical properties,
corrosion and process methods.
ENGINEERING 211
Computer Augmented Design Techniques I
3 UNITS – (UC:CSU)
Advisory: Architecture 36.
An introductory course in computer aided drafting and two-dimensional CAD
solutions are also included. Three-dimensional CAD examples. Basic threedimensional
CAD solutions are also included. A wide variety of design projects
are assigned, emphasizing engineering problems.
UC limit: 211 and 212 combined, one course maximum credit.
ENGINEERING 212
CADD for Engineers II
3 UNITS – (UC:CSU)
Advisory: Engineering, General 211.
Emphasis is on parametric solid modeling using computer design automation
software such as SolidWorks. Fully associative 3-D solid models with
and without constraints are created utilizing automatic or user defined relations
to capture design intent. Focus is on engineering problems and solutions.

PROGRAMS OFFERED
Associate of Arts:
English
Other Courses:
Linguistics
The department offers extensive English and ESL courses. The courses
are offered from basic skills and ESL, and they extend to our transfer level.
The English program is geared to assist students at all levels, so that
they may improve their writing and prepare to transfer in an environment
that fosters a rich literary tradition. Students develop methods for
critical interpretations of relevant works of English, American, and other
literatures in English. Our ESL programs offer courses to assist students
to improve their ability to write, read, and listen/speak English..
DEGREE PROGRAM
ENGLISH
Associate of Arts Degree
Transfer Program
ENGLISH & ESL
An Associate of Arts Degree in English requires a minimum of 18 units in the
major in addition to the Plan A General Education requirements. The English
curriculum encourages students who plan to transfer to begin their program
of coursework early so that they will have completed all the required lowerdivision
courses by the time they are ready to apply to four-year colleges or
universities. Nine to 12 of the required 18 units must be satisfied by taking
English 102 (if not used to fulfill general education requirements), 203, 205,
and 206.
Students who transfer as English majors must realize that the requirements
vary from institution to institution.
The requirements for additional English and foreign language classes vary
from school to school. Students should consult with a counselor to make
sure they have the most complete and up-to-date information. Please refer
to www.assist.org for most recent major preparation requirements of CSU
and UC systems
