Course Descriptions

ENGR-1 Introduction to Engineering
(2 units lecture) CR/NC option CSU An introduction to the field of engineering. Students discover the role of engineering and technology in society, and the experiences and expectations of engineers in academic and industry settings. Group projects, group assignments, guest speakers and job hunting skills such as resume writing and networking are emphasized. Course encourages information gathering toward making informed decisions about career paths, schools, and majors.

ENGR-18 Electrical Circuits
(4 units lecture/lab) Grade Only CSU An introduction to circuit analysis techniques. Topics covered include circuit laws; resistors, capacitors, and inductors within circuits; natural, forced, and complete response of circuits; steady-state AC circuits and operational amplifiers. Laboratory assignments include physical construction of electrical circuits, use of meters, and use of oscilloscope. Prerequisite: PHYS-4B

ENGR-23 Engineering Graphics
(3 units lecture/lab) Grade Only CSU and UC A study of engineering graphics techniques for engineers and drafters. Computer-Aided Design and technical sketching will be used for visualization, analysis, solution, and documentation of engineering problems. Topics include orthographic projection, pictorial drawing, design visualization, and dimensioning standards and techniques. (CAN ENG)

ENGR-35 Statics
(3 units lecture) Grade Only CSU and UC A first course in engineering mechanics. Topics covered include vectors and vector algebra, particle equilibrium, rigid body equilibrium, friction, moments of inertia and the principles of virtual work. Prerequisite: PHYS-4A (CAN ENGR8)
