Unit(s): 3.00
The course explores the career branches of engineering including the functions of an engineer in various settings and the industries in which engineers work. Topics will span the life cycle of the engineering professions from education to career including guided exploration of educational pathways, time-management, study-skill development through engineering-skill building activities focused on design and creation of products and ethical practices. The engineering process will be used to develop essential project management skills in the context of being introduced to ubiquitous systems used by engineers such as sensors, pneumatics, hydraulics, AC and DC motor control, simple electrical circuits, machine controllers, programming, and computational tools for testing and analysis. A spreadsheet program (Microsoft Excel) and high-level computer language programs (MATLAB) are integral parts of the course. (C-ID ENGR 110) |

Notes:
Computer Engineering & Electrical/Electronic Option: This plan assumes that a student is able to place immediately into MATH-30 (Analytic Geometry and Calculus) and CHEM-1. This plan does not cover the minimum CSU GE needed to transfer unless A1 and A3 taken as electives. For A3, many CSU’s (e.g. CSUC) waive for Engineering majors. For CSUC, Area F (Area E CSU) is met by upper division course in the major. See www.assist.org.
