ENGINEERING
CIVIL
The Engineering: Civil track program at Glendale College is
designed to satisfy the lower division requirements of a 4-year
civil engineering program so that students can transfer to an
ABET accredited university and complete their training in two
years (60 units or less). Emphasis is placed on articulating to the University, CSU and University of California, UC systems. Stu-
California State University, CSU and University of California,
UC systems. Students develop a foundational mixture of analyti-
cal knowledge and practical project based hands-on skills that
prepares them to succeed in a range of civil engineering topics
such as environmental, geotechnical, structural and transporta-
tion engineering as well as sustainability and design. Students
must complete all required courses to total 72-73 units.
Program Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of
the civil engineering certificate program for transfer, students
should be able to: use science and mathematical skills required
for occupational needs; design a system, component, or process
with supervision of a licensed engineer to meet desired needs;
analyze engineering problems and make appropriate decisions
with the supervision of a licensed engineer; demonstrate appro-
priate technical written, verbal and drawing, communication
skills; work effectively in a team and exercise initiative and
function in a leadership role.
REQUIRED COURSES: MATH 103, 104, 105, 108, PHY 101, 102, 103;
CHEM 101; BIOL 102 or GEOL 101 and 111 or GEOL 102 and 112;

to the California State University (CSU) and University of Cali-
fornia (UC) systems. Students develop a foundational mixture
of analytical knowledge and practical project based hands-on
skills that prepares them to succeed in a range of electrical
engineering topics such as power, biomedical, digital electronics,
communications and systems engineering as well as sustain-
ability and design. Students must complete all required
courses to total 65 units. Program Learning Outcomes: Upon
successful completion of the electrical engineering certificate
program for transfer, students should be able to: use science and
mathematical skills required for occupational needs; design a
system, component, or process with supervision of a licensed
engineer to meet desired needs; analyze engineering problems
and make appropriate decisions with the supervision of a
licensed engineer; demonstrate appropriate technical written,
verbal and drawing, communication skills; work effectively in
a team and exercise initiative and function in a leadership role.

FITNESS SPECIALIST
The Fitness Specialist Certificate is designed to prepare students
with the knowledge, skills and abilities required to become Per-
sonal Trainers and/or Group Fitness Instructors. It is primarily
geared toward preparing students to successfully obtain certifica-
tions from NASM, NSCA (for personal training) or ACE (for group
fitness instruction), and to develop comprehensive knowledge
of scientific evidence, tools and protocols specific to the fitness
industry. Practical experience is integrated into curriculum for
the development of skill mastery. Students are recommended to
have basic knowledge of human biology, basic English writing
and speaking skills, and the ability to perform moderate physical
activity before beginning this program. Students must complete
all required core courses for a total of 24.5 - 25.5 units. Program
Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program students
will demonstrate the knowledge, skills and abilities required
for the NASM-CPT and NSCA-CPT exams; demonstrate the
knowledge, skills and abilities required for the ACE – GFI exam;
demonstrate understanding of the fundamental science of kine-
siology and apply its principles to assess, design, implement and
lead fitness programs for individuals and groups in a diverse
population; and utilize universal risk management strategies.
REQUIRED COURSES: KIN 151, 155, 156, 167, 168; HLTH 102.
