220 - ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS I (4 UNITS)
UC:CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Physics 038 with a grade of “C” or better.
This course introduces elements of electrical circuit
analysis and synthesis; solutions of passive, linear lumped
parameter circuits; analogs and duals; and steady state
and transient analysis applied to linear electrical and
mechanical systems are studied. The course also includes
a study of electrical and magnetic instruments, and
transformers.

101 - INTRODUCTION TO SCIENCE,
ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (2 UNITS)
UC:CSU
This course includes a study of engineering achievements,
trends, and fundamentals. A study is made of professional
engineering requirements, opportunities, and
responsibilities in order that the student may perceive the
relationship of his training to his environment. This class
is also open to the general student who desires a better
understanding of the nature of engineering.
111 - INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING
DRAFTING (3 UNITS) UC:CSU
Prerequisite: Completion of Engineering General 912 with a grade of
“C” or better, or one year of high school or college drafting.
This course introduces principles of graphical expression
through sketching, instrumental drawing, orthographic
projection, auxiliary views, dimensions, and working
drawings are included in this course. Descriptive geometry
methods applied to points, lines, planes, warped surfaces,
intersections, and development are also studied.
112 - ENGINEERING DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY
(3 UNITS) UC:CSU
Prerequisites: Completion of Engineering General 111 and Mathematics
265 with a grade of “C” or better, or concurrent enrollment in
Mathematics 265.
This course in graphical representation applies the
fundamental principles of lines, planes, revolutions, vectors,
and development of surfaces. Special emphasis is placed
on the ability to visualize and solve three-dimensional
problems found in various areas of engineering. An
introduction to nomographic techniques is included.
243 - STATICS AND STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
(CALCULUS BASED) (4 UNITS) UC:CSU
Prerequisite or corequisite: Completion of Engineering General 112
with a grade of “C” or better, or concurrent enrollment.
This course presents a study of the strength and mechanical
principles and design (stresses, tension, compression,
shear, and bending) of engineering as applied to beam
stresses; pertinent moment calculations; torsion; deflection;
indeterminate beams; combined axial and bending loads;
eccentric loads; columns; cables; and materials and their
uses in foundations, floors, walls, columns, and roofs.
912 - ELEMENTARY ENGINEERING DRAFTING
(3 UNITS)
This course is presented for engineering majors and
students who desire to learn the basic concept of freehand
technical sketching and lettering. It considers the use of
graphical methods in the presentation of conventional
drafting practices using technological expressions.
ENGINEERING, GENERAL
TECHNOLOGY
28 - TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY (3 UNITS)
CSU
This course explores the interrelationships between
technology and society. Topics include social factors that
impact technology (historical, political, economic, ethical
and environmental), and the ways in which technology
affects society. This course is appropriate for students in
both technical and non-technical majors.

25 - INDUSTRIAL SAFETY (1 UNIT)
This course emphasizes CAL-OSHA Program (California
General Industrial Safety Orders) standards and benefits
of accident prevention. Loss of productivity, morale, real
and intangible costs, relating to accidents are discussed.
Students are required to write about a current documented
industrial accident.
35 - PROGRAMMING FOR TECHNICIANS
(3 UNITS)
This course introduces the Basic and Visual Basic 6.0
languages. Basic language is used to introduce the student
to elementary programming techniques and simplifies the
transition into a more sophisticated language such as Visual
