Engineering Courses 
ENGR R100—Introduction to Engineering 2 units 
1 hour lecture, 3 hours lab weekly 
Study of engineering, including the professions's requirements, opportunities, 
and responsibilities. Through lab assignments, students 
will be introduced to some of the computer skills needed in the engineering 
profession, such as word processing, spreadsheets, 
computer-aided design using the Internet and e-mail communications. 
Transfer credit: UC, CSU 
ENGR R105—Introduction to Engineering Design 3 units 
1 hour lecture, 6 hours lab weekly 
Course designed to further students’ understanding of the engineering 
profession by means of lecture/laboratory on systematic design 
techniques of engineering graphics, such as views, projections, sections, 
intersections developments, symbols used in mechanical and 
electrical drawings, materials and parts specifications, dimensioning, 
fits and tolerances. Freehand sketching and computer-aided design 
and drafting (CADD) systems are used. 
Transfer credit: UC, CSU 
ENGR R110—Engineering Materials 3 units 
Prerequisites: CHEM R120. 
3 hours lecture weekly 
This introductory course on engineering properties of materials applies 
basic principles of atomic and crystal structure of solids to the 
study of properties, and to selection and use of engineering materials. 
Transfer credit: UC, CSU 
ENGR R115—Engineering Statics and Strength of 
Materials 4 units 
Prerequisites: MATH R121, ENGR R110. 
4 hours lecture weekly 
Course covers equivalent force systems, free body diagrams and equilibrium, 
structural mechanics, behavior of deformable solids, stress 
and strain, tension, compression, flexure, torsion, beams, columns, 
statically indeterminate problems, multi-axial stresses, theories of 
strength. Course uses vector analysis and calculus.
