Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). GEOG 1L INTRO. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY LAB 1.0 Units This course is designed to provide supplemental exercises in topics covered in physical geography lecture. Lab experience will include map analysis and interpretation, weather prognostication, landform processes and evolution, tectonics, biogeography, and habitat analysis. Prerequisite: GEOG 1 with a minimum grade of C (may be taken concurrently) GEOG 2 CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY 3.0 Units The course is a study of diverse human populations, their cultural origins, diffusion and contemporary spatial expressions. Topics include: demography, languages and religions, urbanization and landscape and religions, urbanization and landscape modification, political units and nationalism, and economic systems and development. GEOG 5 WORLD REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY 3.0 Units Survey of the world’s culture regions and nations as interpreted by geographers, including physical, cultural, and economic features. Emphasis on spatial and historical influences on population growth, transportation networks, and natural environments. Identification and importance of the significant features of regions. GEOG 12 GEOGRAPHY OF CALIFORNIA 3.0 Units A thematic approach to the state’s issues, processes and topics relevant to geography including climate, landforms, natural vegetation, water resources, cultural landscape, ethnic diversity, urban and agricultural regions, and the economy. This course explores the physical, and human landscapes that have evolved as a result of the human-environment interface. GEOLOGY GEOL 1 PHYSICAL GEOLOGY 3.0 Units The Earth, its materials, its internal and external processes, and its development through time. Emphasis is placed on a thorough global understanding of Plate Tectonics as a framework and foundation for subsequent geologic topics and concepts. Topics include volcanoes, earthquakes and seismology, the Geologic Time Scale and the formation of the earth, rocks and minerals, hydrology, erosion, beach systems, environmental geology, glaciation, groundwater, etc. Course content includes the difference between theory and fact and the historical development of key geologic concepts. This is the foundation course for almost all subsequent geology courses for both geology majors and non-majors. The Geology 1 lab (GEOL 1L) may be taken concurrently with the lecture (GEOL 1) or during a later term. Enrollment in the lecture course does not automatically enroll the student in the lab course; students must enroll in the lab course separately. GEOL 1L PHYSICAL GEOLOGY LABORATORY 1.0 Units Laboratory course to supplement the physical geology lecture course. Introduction to the materials and techniques of geology. Includes minerals, rocks, topographic and geologic maps, structural geology, identification and interpretation of landforms, geologic time and relative age dating analysis, etc. Prerequisite: GEOL 1 or GEOL 5 or GEOL 7 with a minimum grade of C (May be taken concurrently). inspecting buildings, preplanning fire operations, and operating at fire and collapse emergencies. Development and evolution of building and fire codes will be studied in their relationship to past fires and collapses in residential, commercial, and industrial occupancies. Recommended Course Preparation: FST 1 with a minimum grade of C FST 7 FIRE SERVICE CONDITIONING 1.0 Units This course is an introduction to the components of physical fitness development and conditioning, with an emphasis in preparing students for the physical agility performance and testing standards required of “Emergency First Responder” Candidates entering into Police or Fire Academies. Students will be presented instruction on proper warm-up and stretching techniques, how to maintain and develop the components of fitness through increased muscular strength and muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance and recovery, and increased flexibility and balance. Students will be introduced to Circuit Training and will also receive skills instruction on various testing parameters of the Nationally approved and recognized Certified Physical Agility Test (CPAT). Students will additionally receive instruction on various “Tools of the Trade” (i.e., Ladder Fire Hose, SCBA) for developing proper skills in handling, lifting and carrying techniques as well as developing cardio-respiratory control and aerobic conditioning while wearing a ”Self Contained Breathing Apparatus” (SCBA) under conditions of physical exertion. FST 12 ACADEMY- FIREFIGHTER 1 AND 2 17.0 Units This course provides the skills and knowledge needed for the entry-level firefighter to perform structural suppression activities, wildland fire suppression activities and hazardous materials mitigation and containment activities. This course covers topics in both Firefighter 1 and Firefighter 2 in accordance with the California State Fire Marshall 2019 Curriculum. Prerequisite: EMS 30 with a minimum grade of C, or A valid State of California EMT or PARAMEDIC license issued by the CA EMSA, and FST 1 with a minimum grade of C and FST 7 with a minimum grade of C ,or A valid CPAT (Candidate Physical Agility Test), or a BIDDLE (Firefighter Physical Agility) test. This course has a materials fee of $675. FRENCH FREN 1A BEGINNING FRENCH 5.0 Units This introductory level course will enable students to begin speaking, reading and writing elementary level French as well as understanding the spoken language. Students are introduced to concepts of grammar, vocabulary and verb tenses in a variety of auditory, visual and written contexts. Recommended Course Preparation: Eligibility for ENG 1A GEOGRAPHY GEOG 1 INTRO TO PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY 3.0 Units This course is a spatial study of the Earth’s dynamic physical system and processes. Topics include: Earth-sun geometry, weather, climate, water, landforms, soil, and the biosphere with emphasis on spatial characteristics, change over time, interactions between environmental components, and human-environment interactions. Tools of geographic inquiry are also briefly covered; they include maps, remote sensing,
