METALLURGY AND MATERIALS SCIENCE - Certificate of Achievement Program

WELD 100 – WELDING FUNDAMENTALS
2 UNITS Class hours: 1 lecture/3 lab Prerequisite: None.

This is an introductory course designed to familiarize the student with the welding trade. Emphasis is placed on technical and practical applications of shielded metal arc, and gas tungsten arc welding processes as well as safety, weld testing, and the effects of welding heat on metals. (Formerly WELD 10) Transfer Credit: CSU

MET 50 – HEAT TREATMENT OF NONFERROUS METALS
2 UNITS Class hours: 1 lecture/3 lab Prerequisite: None. Recommendation: MET 100A or equivalent with a grade of Credit or "C" or higher.

This course will cover the effects of heat treating related to the mechanical and physical properties of non-ferrous metals. Techniques, processes and equipment used in the industrial heat treating facility; relationship of metallic phases and precipitation hardening will be emphasized. In addition theory and application of thermocouples in pyrometry, photomicrography and photomicrography of the effects of heat treatment on microstructures are included. (Formerly MET 42.2/MET 42)

MET 100A – METALLURGY l
3.0 UNITS Class hours: 3 lecture/1 lab Prerequisite: None.

This course is an introduction to the study of metals and non-metals; structure of matter; chemical, physical and mechanical properties of metals and alloys; and non-metals including polymers, ceramics and composite allotropy, plastic deformation and heat treatment will also be studied. The course will also include demonstrations and laboratory practice in the use of metallurgical testing equipment commonly used in industry. (Formerly MET 10) Transfer Credit: CSU

MET 120 – NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT)
3 UNITS Class hours: 3 lecture/1 lab Prerequisite: None.

This is a survey course designed to familiarize the student with nondestructive testing theory and applications. The major emphasis is on the "basic five" nondestructive testing methods: liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, radiographic, ultrasonic, and eddy current. Students will learn to use these methods and to evaluate available NDT methods as they apply to quality control. (Formerly MET 38) Transfer Credit: CSU

MET 130A – HEAT TREATMENT OF IRON AND STEEL
2 UNITS Class hours: 1 lecture/3 lab Prerequisite: MET 100A or equivalent with a grade of Credit or "C" or higher.

Effects of heat treating on mechanical and physical properties of ferrous metals will be covered. Techniques, processes and equipment used in the industrial heat treating facility are included in this course. Processes and effects of specialized surface treatments, theory and application of thermocouples in pyrometry, photomicrography and photomicrography of the effects of heat treatment on microstructures are all part of lecture and lab assignments. (Formerly MET 42/MET 42.1) Transfer Credit: CSU

CHEM 100 – INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
4 UNITS
Class hours: 3 lecture/2 lab/1 quiz Prerequisite: MATH 40 or equivalent with a grade of Credit or "C" or higher or satisfactory completion of Math Placement Process. Recommendation: It is strongly recommended that the preceding prerequisite be completed within four years prior to the date of enrollment in CHEM 100.

This course is an introduction to the basic principles of inorganic and organic chemistry and biochemistry with their application to problems encountered in our everyday lives. The course includes the metric system, atomic structure, bonding, solutions, chemical reactions, hydrocarbons, fundtional groups, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. It is designed to give a general introduction to fundamental concepts and to prepare students for majors in nursing, dental hygiene, physician assistant, physical therapy assistant, liberal arts, and technical fields. (Not open to those with credit in more advanced courses.) (Formerly CHEM 10) Transfer Credit: CSU;UC

or

CHEM 110 – ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY
4 UNITS
Class hours: 3 lecture/1 quiz/2 lab Prerequisite: MATH 80 or MATH 80B or equivalent with a grade of Credit or "C" or higher, or satisfactory completion of the Math Placement Process. Recommendation: It is strongly recommended the preceding prerequisite be completed within four years prior to the date of enrollment in CHEM 110.

TM 50 – TECHNICAL MATH
3.0 UNITS Class hours: 3 lecture Prerequisite: MATH 40 or equivalent with a grade of Credit or "C" or higher or satisfactory completion of the Math Placement Process. Corequisite: None. Recommendation: None.

This course is an introduction to the principles of algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry as needed by students planning to work in any area of technology. Topics are covered which have particular emphasis on equations and formulas found in the shop areas and drafting labs. Calculations of area, volume and layout are stressed. Conversions between English and metric measurements are introduced. The students will learn to solve right angle trigonometry problems and will learn how to find solutions to oblique triangles using the law of cosines. (Formerly TM1.2)

or

MATH 80 – INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA
4 UNITS Class hours: 4 lecture Prerequisite: MATH 60 or equivalent with a grade of Credit or "C" or higher, or satisfactory completion of the Math Placement Process.

This course explores the representation of functions and relations as graphs formulas, and tables. The types of fundtions studied will include linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic. These functions will be used in solving a variety of equations, systems of equations and application problems. Other topics include: the algebra of real and complex numbers, inequalities, and an introduction to conic sections. (this course is not open to students with Credit in MATH 80A or MATH 80B

or

MATH 140 – TRIGONOMETRY
3 UNITS Class hours: 3 lecture Prerequisite: MATH 80 (or MATH 80B) and MATH 70 or equivalent with grades of Credit or "C" or higher. Students who have not taken MATH 80 (or MATH 80B) must attain a satisfactory score on the Advanced Math Readiness Test.

This course includes circular functions, inverses, graphs, angles and trigonometric functions, solutions of right and oblique triangles, identities, solution of equations, and complex numbers. (Formerly MATH 21) This class may be taken in Programmed Learning Sections. See your counselor for details. Transfer Credit: CSU
