V.M. Ismail Ismail 2060 Anthony Jacob John Stephens 2068 Michael Willett 2430 Program Description The Engineering program at Antelope Valley College has three distinct components: 1) a certificate program in Engineering Technology; 2) associate degree programs in Engineering and Engineering Technology; and 3) Engineering transfer. Distinctive Features The Engineering program offers the student challenging and rewarding classes that transfer to four-year universities in California. The Engineering courses listed under the Associate Degree in Engineering should suffice for most engineering majors transferring to a major university. See a counselor for specific general education requirements. Career Options Aerospace Engineering Agricultural Engineering Architectural Engineering Biomedical Engineering Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering (Most of these careers require education beyond the two-year college level.) Certificate Program Engineering Technology The following courses (32 units minimum) are required for the certificate. Required Courses units CIS 161, Introduction to C++ Programming or CIS 153, Intro. to FORTRAN Programming or ENGR 225/MATH 225, FORTRAN for Engineers and Scientists 3 DRFT 125, Mechanical Drafting or DRFT 130, Architectural Draft. I 3 DRFT 150, Interm. 2-D AutoCAD 3 DRFT 240, Electronic Drafting 3 ELTE 125, Direct and Alternating Current Principles 5 ENGR 115, Basic Engineer Drawing ENGR 120, Introduction to 2-D 3 AutoCAD 3 MATH 130, College Algebra 4 Program Electives -5 Total 32 Program Electives: DRFT 230, Architectural Drafting II DRFT 250, Intro. to 3-D AutoCAD MATH 150, Calculus and Analytical 3 2 Geometry 5 For a recommended plan of study for the certificate, please refer to the Associate Degree plan minus the general education requirements. (See Drafting/Computer Aided Design for Drafting/CAD program.) Associate Degrees Engineering Technology The requirements for an associate degree in Engineering Technology may be satisfied by completing the certificate program in addition to the associate degree requirements. (See Graduation/Associate Degree Requirements.) Except in cases of a prerequisite requirement, it is not required to take courses in exactly this sequence; they are recommended in this order to facilitate success.
