ENGR-30 INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING

2 units: 1 hour lecture, 3 hours lab.
CSU & UC Transferable
Advisories:  Placement as determined by the college’s multiple measures assessment process or completion of a course taught at or above the level of intermediate algebra. ; ENGL-C1000 (Formerly ENGL-01A)

The course explores the branches of engineering, the functions of an engineer, and the industries in which engineers work. Explains the engineering education pathways and explores effective strategies for students to reach their full academic potential. Presents an introduction to the methods and tools of engineering problem solving and design including the interface of the engineer with society and engineering ethics. Develops communication skills pertinent to the engineering profession. (4/19)

ENGR-35 ENGINEERING GRAPHICS

3 units: 2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab.
CSU & UC Transferable
(C-ID: ENGR-150)
Prerequisites: MATH-25.

This course covers the principles of engineering drawings in visually communicating engineering designs and an introduction to computer-aided design (CAD). Topics include the development of visualization skills; orthographic projections; mechanical dimensioning and tolerancing practices; and the engineering design process. Assignments develop sketching and 2-D and 3-D CAD skills. The use of CAD software is an integral part of the course. (12/19)
