INTRODUCTION TO TEACHING
3 units, 2 lecture hours, 3 lab hours, (Pass/No Pass)
ADVISORIES: Eligibility for English 125 and 126.
This course introduces students to the concepts and
issues related to teaching diverse learners in contemporary
schools, Kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12). Topics
include teaching as a profession and career, historical and
philosophical foundations of the American education system,
contemporary educational issues, California’s content standards
and frameworks, and teacher performance standards. In
addition to class time, the course requires a minimum of
45 hours of structured fieldwork in K-12classrooms that
represent California’s diverse student population, and includes
cooperation with at least one carefully selected and campus-
approved certificated classroom teacher. Students need to do
their observation in a classroom that is in line with their degree
plans. Single subject majors (History, Math, English, etc.) need
to observe in subject area at a high school or junior high.Multiple
subject students need to do their observations in an elementary
school or junior high school. (A, CSU, UC) (C-IDEDUC200)

ENGINEERING GRAPHICS
4 units, 2 lecture hours, 6 lab hours, (Pass/No Pass)
PR ER EQU I S I TE S : Ma t h ema t i c s 4 A .
ADVISORIES: Eligibility for English 125 and 126.
This course covers the principles of engineering
drawings in visually communicating engineering designs and
an introduction to computer-aided design (CAD). Topics
include the development of visualization skills, orthographic
projections, mechanical dimensioning and tolerancing
practices, and the engineering design process. Assignments
develop sketching and 2-D and 3-D CAD skills. The use of
CAD software is an integral part of the course. (A, CSU, UC)

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 260L)

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-

INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING
2 units, 2 lecture hours, (Pass/No Pass)
ADVISORIES: Eligibility for English 125, 126 and
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)
