ENGR 23 ENGINEERING GRAPHICS 3.0 Units Introduction to the engineering-design process, and to technical graphic communications tools used by engineers. Conceptual design of products. Development of spatial reasoning skills. Orthographic and axonometric projection-drawing techniques. Tolerance analysis for fabrication. Documentation of designs through engineering working drawings. Use SolidWorks Computer-Assisted Drawing software as a design tool. Basic CAD 3-Dimensional solid-modeling. Strongly Recommended: MATH 39, ENG 1A or ENG 1AEX with a minimum grade of C ENGR 35 STATICS 3.0 Units A first course in engineering mechanics: properties of forces, moments, couples and resultants; two- and three-dimensional force systems acting on engineering structures in equilibrium; analysis of trusses, and beams; distributed forces, shear and bending moment diagrams, center of gravity, centroids, friction, and area and mass moments of inertia. Optional additional topics include fluid statics and cables. Prerequisites: PHYS 1A and MATH 2 with a minimum grade of C Strongly Recommended: ENGR 22 with a minimum grade of C ENGR 37 APPLIED STATICS AND MATERIALS 3.0 Units Applied statics, mechanics of materials, and materials science. Topics include stress, strain, types of forces, moments, moment of inertia, friction, truss structures, centers of gravity, modulus of elasticity, fasteners, chemistry and atomic structure, crystalline structures, phase diagrams. This course is designed for Engineering Technology majors; it is not intended for students pursuing the Engineering Requirements (Transfer Preparation) path. Prerequisite: MATH 39 with a minimum grade of C ENGR 44 INTROTO CIRCUIT ANALYSIS 4.0 Units Introduction to analysis methods for electrical circuits. Topics include general techniques for circuit analysis, simple resistive circuits, inductors, capacitors, mutual coupling, operational amplifier circuits, transient and steady-state analysis of first- order and second-order circuits. Lab topics include introduction to the use of electronic test equipment, designing, assembling, testing and simulating various resistive, LC, RC and operational amplifier circuits. Simulations are done with available circuit simulations codes such as PSpice. Prerequisite: PHYS 1A with a minimum grade of C ENGR 46 MATERIALS OF ENGINEERING 4.0 Units Application of principles of chemistry and physics to the properties of engineering materials; the relation of microstructure to mechanical, electrical, thermal and corrosion properties of metals; ceramics and polymers. Prerequisite: PHYS 1A and CHEM 1A with a minimum grade of C ENGLISH ENG 1A CRITICAL READING AND COMP 3.0 Units Integrated approach to reading, writing, and critical thinking intended to develop ability to read and write complex, college- level prose. Examination of ideas in relation to individual’s worldview and contexts from which these ideas arise. Some research required. Prerequisite: ENG 104 or NENG 204 with a minimum grade of Pass or ESL 25 with a minimum grade of C ENG 1AEX CRITICAL READING COMP EXPANDED 4.0 Units Integrated approach to reading, writing, and critical thinking intended to develop ability to read and write complex, college- level prose. Examination of ideas in relation to individual’s worldview and contexts from which these ideas arise. Some research required. Integrated approach to reading, writing, and critical thinking intended to develop ability to read and write complex, college-level prose. English 1AEX provides students with an extra unit of lab to support students in reading and writing complex, college-level prose. Students who have completed, or are enrolled in, ENG 1A may not receive credit. Prerequisite: ENG 104 with a minimum grade of P, or ESL 25 with a minimum grade of C ENG 4 CRITICALTHINKING/WRITING LIT 3.0 Units Develops critical thinking, reading, and writing skills as they apply to the analysis of fiction, poetry and drama; literary criticism; and related non-fiction from diverse cultural sources and perspectives. Emphasis on the techniques and principles of effective written argument as they apply to literature. Some research required. Prerequisite: ENG 1A or ENG 1AEX with a minimum grade of C ENG 7 CRITICALTHINKING/WRITING 3.0 Units Develops critical thinking, reading, and writing skills as they apply to the textual analysis of primary and secondary book- length works from a range of academic and cultural contexts. Emphasis on the techniques and principles of effective written argument in research-based writing across disciplines. Prerequisite: ENG 1A or ENG 1AEX with a minimum grade of C ENG 12A CRAFT OFWRITING FICTION 3.0 Units Practice inwriting fiction. Developing internal and external sources for stories and novels; biographical sources, characterization, plot, points-of-view, narrative techniques; analysis and criticism of published writing and individual’s own work. Strongly Recommended: ENG 11 with a minimum grade of C and eligibility for ENG 1A. ENG 12B CRAFT OFWRITING FICT:INTERMED 3.0 Units Practice in writing fiction at an intermediate level. Builds on the skills developed in English 12A by requiring the use of vivid description, specific detail, dynamic and rounded character
