ADVISORIES: Eligibility for English 125 and 126. An introductory course in the analysis of DC and AC linear circuits containing resistors, inductors, capacitors, independent and dependent voltage and current sources, and operational amplifiers. Lecture topics include Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Laws, loop and mesh analysis, Thevenin’s and Norton’s Theorems, superposition, natural and forced response in first and second order circuits, phasor analysis, resonance, AC steady-state power calculations, power transfer, and energy concepts. Lab component includes construction, testing, and analysis of linear electrical circuits. (A, CSU, UC) (C-ID ENGR 260) (C-ID ENGR 260L) 8 STATICS 3 units, 3 lecture hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Physics 4A. COREQUISITES: Mathematics 6. ADVISORIES: English 125 and 126. The study of rigid bodies in static equilibrium when acted upon by forces and couples in two- and three-dimensional space. Includes equilibrium of rigid bodies, trusses, frames and machines, friction, shear and bending moment diagrams, as well as the calculation of centers of mass, centroids, and moments of inertia. (A, CSU, UC) (C-ID ENGR 130) 10 INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING 2 units, 2 lecture hours, pass/no pass ADVISORIES: English 125, 126 and eligibility for Mathematics 201. This course is an introduction to the engineering profession for students interested in a career in engineering or technology. Topics include the branches of engineering, the functions of an engineer, and the industries in which engineers work. Students will also investigate education plans, internships, the design process, analytical problem solving techniques, project management, and professional ethics. Hands-on projects are used extensively in the course. (A, CSU) 40 PROGRAMMING FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS 4 units, 3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Mathematics 4B. ADVISORIES: English 125 or 126. This course introduces the use of C++ programming language to solve engineering and applied science problems. It includes a systematic development of program structure, specification, testing and debugging. Lab assignments include traditional program development as well as the interface of software with the physical world. (A, CSU, UC) (C-ID ENGR 120) ENGLISH (ENGL) 1A READING AND COMPOSITION 4 units, 4 lecture hours PREREQUISITES: English 125 and 126 or English 130 and 128 or English 132 or placement through college assessment process. Students will read, analyze, and compose college- level prose, with emphasis on the expository; study writing as a process; explore different composing structures and strategies; edit and revise their own writing; and conduct research (gather, organize, evaluate, integrate, and document information), culminating in a term research paper and annotated bibliography. Students will write a minimum of 6,000 words in formal academic language. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID ENGL 100) 1AH HONORS READING AND COMPOSITION 4 units, 4 lecture hours PREREQUISITES: English 125 and 126 or English 130 and 128 or English 132 or placement through college assessment process and acceptance into the Honors Program. English 1AH focuses on reading, analyzing, and composing college-level prose, with emphasis on the expository: studying writing as a process; exploring different composing structures and strategies; editing and revising one’s own writing; conducting research (gathering, organizing, evaluating, integrating, and documenting information), culminating in a term research paper using both traditional and original research. As an Honors section, this course is organized on a theme with a seminar approach. Students will write a minimum of 8,000 words in formal academic language. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID ENGL 100)
