This course examines trends and factors that affect the value of real estate. Topics include how a society’s economic system influences real estate value, the nature of land economics and the classification of properties, the development of property, construction and sub-division, commercial property, fluctuations in economic value, residential market trends, real property and special purpose property trends. This course fulfills one of the requirements for both the Sales Agent and the Broker’s License issued by the California Bureau of Real Estate. (A, CSU) EDUCATION (EDUC) 10 INTRODUCTION TO TEACHING 3 units, 2 lecture hours, 3 lab hours, pass/no pass ADVISORIES: English 1A. This course introduces students to the concepts and issues related to teaching diverse learners in contemporary schools, Kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12). Topics include teaching as a profession and career, historical and philosophical foundations of the American education system, contemporary educational issues, California’s content standards and frameworks, and teacher performance standards. In addition to class time, the course requires a minimum of 45 hours of structured fieldwork in K-12 classrooms that represent California’s diverse student population, and includes cooperation with at least one carefully selected and campus-approved certificated classroom teacher. Students need to do their observation in a classroom that is in line with their degree plans. Single subject majors (History, Math, English, etc.) need to observe in subject area at high school or junior high. This course requires verification of measles vaccination and pertussis, freedom of tuberculosis, and verification of flu vaccination within the past 12 months. (A, CSU, UC) (C-ID EDUC 200) ENGINEERING (ENGR) 2 ENGINEERING GRAPHICS 4 units, 2 lecture hours, 6 lab hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Mathematics 4A. ADVISORIES: English 125 and 126. 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. (A, CSU, UC) (C-ID ENGR 150) 4 ENGINEERING MATERIALS 3 units, 3 lecture hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1A and Physics 4A. ADVISORIES: English 125 and 126. This is an introductory course on the properties of engineering materials and their relation to the internal structure of materials. Topics include atomic structure and bonding; crystalline structures; phases and phase diagram; metals; polymers; ceramics; composites; mechanical deformation and fracture; structural control and influence of properties; materials naming and designating systems; and electrical properties. (A, CSU, UC) 4L ENGINEERING MATERIALS LABORATORY 1 unit, 3 lab hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1A and Physics 4A. COREQUISITES: Engineering 4 (previously or concurrently) This is a laboratory course in which students investigate the structure, properties, and performance of engineering materials, with topics including crystal structures, metallography, cold working and heat treatment, mechanical behavior, ductile and brittle failure, toughness, fatigue, corrosion, and properties of semiconductor devices.
