Develops engineering drawing skills through manual and computer-aided drafting (CAD) in two- and three-dimensions. Improves three-dimensional spatial visualization skills. Utilizes principles of orthographic drawing, pictorial drawing, and descriptive geometry. Covers principles of orthographic projections, graphical presentation of normal, inclined, and oblique surfaces, auxiliary and sectional views, dimensioning, and tolerances. Builds an understanding for engineering problem solving and the engineering design process through design projects. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Field trips may be required.

Utilizes the MATLAB environment to provide students with a working knowledge of computer-based problem solving methods relevant to science and engineering. Introduces the fundamentals of procedural and object-oriented programming, numerical analysis, and data structures. Presents problem solving examples which draw from practical applications in engineering, physics, and mathematics. Prerequisites: MATH M25A or MATH M25AH. Recommended Prep: PHYS M20A or PHYS M20B or ENGR M20. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.
