ENGR 100 Introduction to Engineering
- Units
- 1
- Hours
- 1.00 hours lecture
- Transfers to
- CSU, UC
An overview of the engineering profession including not only the different engineering fields but also the specialized demands and rewards of each. It will afford the opportunity for community building among the students, who usually are otherwise isolated in the community college milieu. Group projects in the course will encourage socialization and human relations training in what is often perceived as a dry and dull profession. Academic success strategies will be explained and practiced; ethical concepts will be examined through case histories and practical applications.
ENGR 114 Introduction to Electrical Engineering
- Units
- 3
- Hours
- 2.00 hours lecture, 3.00 hours lab
- Transfers to
- CSU
Introduction to electrical engineering, with emphasis on basic analog and digital circuits. The course will include DC circuits, AC and DC signals, digital electronics including logic gates and circuits involved in boolean algebra operations. Recommended for students that will major in electrical engineering.
ENGR 115 Electrical Engineering Clinics I
- Units
- 1
- Hours
- 3.00 hours lab
- Prerequisite
- ENGR 114
- Transfers to
- CSU
Hands-on course to provide current industry knowledge and skills of Electrical Engineering using historical techniques for personal safety when using electronic circuits and test equipment, in addition to use of common hardware components and software development tools. Topics such as laboratory test equipment use, PLC systems, Ladder Logic coding, LabVIEW control process, and basic circuit design concepts will be covered.
ENGR 126 Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Units
- 4
- Hours
- 3.00 hours lecture, 3.00 hours lab
- Prerequisite
