PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS AND
METHODOLOGIES FOR ENGINEERS
4.0 Units
ENGR 125 teaches the application of struc-
tured programming concepts for engi-
neering problems. Topics include practical
mechanics, electronics, robotics, as well as
the design, reduction and analysis of experi-
mental data using high level languages.
Required for electrical and computer engi-
neering majors, students learn to program
and control engineering devices and sensors
that interface with the physical world. The
interaction between computer programming
and the physical world is a major focus of the
course. Note: This course may not be used
to meet the requirements of any computer
science program. Lecture 3 hours/Labora-
tory 3 hours. Prerequisite: MATH 103E or
equivalent. Recommended Preparation:
ENGL 100, ENGL 120 or ESL 141 or equiva-
lent. Course Typically Offered: Spring.
Transfer Credit: CSU, UC. (C-ID ENGR 120)

INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS
2.0 Units
ENGR 130 provides an introductory study
of the fundamentals of mobile robotics
and the associated engineering concepts.
It prepares students for more advanced
studies in robotics and related technologies.
Students gain experience with fundamental
concepts in robot design, computer aided
design and drafting, sensors and actuators,
programming, and electronics. The vast
majority of the course experience consists
of implementation of and experimentation
with these skills through hands-on labs.
Lecture 1 hour/Laboratory 3 hours. Prereq-
uisite: None. Course Typically Offered: Fall.

INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL
ELECTRONICS
3.0 Units
ENGR 132 is intended for students planning
to major in engineering at the university
level. It provides an introduction to the basic and Engineering). Note: ENGR 141 Materials
concepts and theory of digital electronics.
Students also learn how to build, test, and
analyze simple digital circuits in the labora-
tory, and use simulation software and test
equipment such as power supply, multime-
ter, signal/function generator, oscilloscope,
and logic analyzer. Related mathematics
and physics is contextualized within the
development of these electrical engineer-
ing concepts. Lecture 2 hours/Laboratory 3
hours. Recommended Preparation: MATH
102 or 110. Course Typically Offered: Fall

INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING
DESIGN
3.0 Units
ENGR 133 introduces students to the engi-
neering design process through engineer-
ing design projects. A multidisciplinary
approach uses computer-aided design and
modeling as well as hand and machine tools
and testing instruments. Students work in
teams on relevant projects that are modeled
on professional engineering design practices
and offer a practical experience of hands-on
engineering work. Lecture 2 hours/Labora-
tory 1 hours. Prerequisite: PHY 101 and
ENGR 100.
140
MATERIALS SCIENCE AND
ENGINEERING
3.0 Units
ENGR 140 examines the internal structures
of materials and their subsequent behaviors
used in engineering applications, including
metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and
semiconductors. Students learn how to select
appropriate materials to meet engineering
design criteria and to understand the effects
of heat, mechanical stress, imperfections,
and chemical environments on material
properties and performance. Note: ENGR 141
(Materials Science and Engineering Labora-
tory) may be required for full articulation.
Lecture 3 hours. Prerequisite: CHEM 101
and PHY 101. Course Typically Offered:
Spring. Transfer Credit: CSU, UC, USC. (C-ID
ENGR 140)

MATERIALS SCIENCE AND
ENGINEERING LABORATORY
1.0 Unit
ENGR 141 engages the relationships between
the internal structures of materials and their practice of plane surveying and includes
subsequent behaviors and material proper-
ties. Using experimental equipment and
laboratory report writing activities, students tion of engineering plans and maps.

ENGINEERING MECHANICS -
STATICS
3.0 Units
ENGR 152 covers the composition and
resolution of co-planar and non-planar
force systems, equilibrium of rigid bodies,
distributed forces, forces in trusses, frames
and cables, shear and bending moments
in beams, and moments of inertia of areas
and bodies. Lecture 3 hours. Prerequisite:
PHY 101 or equivalent and MATH 104E
or equivalent. Course Typically Offered:

PROGRAMMING AND PROBLEM-
SOLVING IN MATLAB
3.0 Units
ENGR 156 provides an introduction to
MATLAB to provide students with a working
knowledge of computer based problem-solv-
ing methods with applications for science
and engineering. It introduces the funda-
mentals of procedural and object-oriented
programming, numerical analysis, and
data structures. Students gain experience
working with MATLAB toolboxes and with
development and debugging of programs
using MATLAB and Simulink. Examples and
assignments in the course are drawn from
practical applications in engineering, phys-
ics, and mathematics. Lecture 2 hours/Labo-
