ENGR 140 Materials Science and Engineering (online) (Syllabus)

UC and CSU Transferable

ENGR 140 is an important course for mechanical and civil engineering majors and has become increasingly important for product design.  The atomic and chemical structure of materials as well as the way that materials are manufactured determine important mechanical properties.

Prerequisites: CHEM 101 and PHYS 101

 

ENGR 152 Engineering Mechanics - Statics (online) (Syllabus)

UC and CSU Transferable

ENGR 152 is the most important course for mechanical and civil engineering majors as it is the first course in engineering problem solving.  Statics is the first in a critical path sequence of courses that includes Strength of Materials, Machine Design (for ME’s and AE's), Structures (for CE’s) and Senior Design I and II.  Taking Statics before transferring can shorten the path to completion of the BS degree. 

Prerequisite: PHYSICS 101 and MATH 104

 

ENGR 156 - Programming and Problem Solving in MATLAB (online) 

ENGR 156 is the required programming course for civil and mechanical engineering majors.
