Chabot College 2024-2026 227 CREDIT COURSE LISTING, ENGR TECHNICAL DESIGN DRAFTING Certificate of Achievement Students who complete this Certificate develop the technical design skills required for many Design-Drafter professional positions, including Drafting using AutoCAD, Inventor, Revvit, and/ or Solidworks, building, designing, and testing prototypes, coding, problem solving, technical writing, troubleshooting, and using equipment (mills, lathes, CNC, 3D printers,etc.). Career Opportunities Completion of this certificate prepares students for a Design- Drafting career with Civil-Engineering, Building Design-Construction, and Electro-Mechanical Device firms. This certificate is especially beneficial for students applying for internships in manufacturing, construction, or design. According to Labor Market Information data, engineering technician positions are expected to grow from 2707 positions in 2017 to 2869 positions by 2022, an increase of 6%. Data also shows that demand for mechanical engineering technicians will also increase from 1127 to 1245 over the next five years, an increase of 10%. Program Learning Outcomes 1. Demonstrate an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. 2. Demonstrate an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

Total 17 ENGINEERING (ENGR) COURSES 10 Introduction to Engineering 2 Units Introduction to careers, activities, and topics related to the field of engineering, including computer applications, design and problem solving. Help students determine what degrees and certificates are needed to reach their engineering career of choice. Complete engineering sample projects including bridge design, 3D modeling/3D printing, robotics, and circuits. This course will help determine if engineering is the career for you. Lecture: 36 hours 11 Engineering Design and Analysis 2 Units An introduction to the engineering design process from a practical and professional perspective. Student teams work on a term-long engineering project that entails the creation of a design for a useful object with moving parts that requires the application of some external power source. Conceptual and Critical/Final design reviews require teams to describe and justify the effectiveness, and likely customer-acceptance, of the design. The student designers: select materials, components, sources of supply; produce detailed parts- lists; create using CAD-tools detailed and dimensioned production and assembly drawings; create formal electrical and fluid-control component interconnection schematics; provide a detailed estimate for the production-cost. When needed students use engineering software tools (such as MATLAB) to assess and predict the kinematical, structural, thermal, electrical, fluid-flow, wear/corrosion, optical, and magnetic performance of the proposed design. Students are encouraged to build from the design plans a form-and-fit mock-up, or if possible a fully functioning prototype. Lecture: 18 hours Laboratory: 54 hours Prerequisite: ENGR 10 Strongly Recommended: ENGR 22 15 Engineered Systems and Sustainability 3 Units An introduction to key engineered systems (e.g., energy, water supply, buildings, transportation) and their environmental impacts. Basic principles of environmental science needed to understand natural processes as they are influenced by human activities. Overview of concepts and methods of sustainability analysis. Critical evaluation of engineering approaches to address sustainability. Lecture: 54 hours Prerequisite: CHEM 1A and MTH 1. 16 Designing Information Devices and Systems I 4 Units This course focuses on the fundamentals of designing modern information devices and systems that interface with the real world, providing a foundation for core topics in signal processing, learning, control, and circuit design while introducing key linear-algebraic concepts motivated by applications. Modeling is emphasized to deepen mathematical maturity in both labs and homework, students will engage computationally, physically, and visually with the concepts being introduced. Lecture: 54 hours Laboratory: 54 hours Prerequisite: MTH 2 and CSCI 14.
