Major
Engineering and industrial practice in the United States is based to a considerable extent on the team concept. Engineers, scientists, experts in management and production, and others coordinate their work with that of technicians, craftspersons, and workers with varying degrees of skill in order to complete particular projects. To meet the varying needs of students and industry, the Engineering and Technology Department at City College of San Francisco offers an Engineering Program along with two Engineering Technology programs to train technicians. The programs are designed so that students may satisfy the requirements for graduation from the College and receive a degree of Associate in Science and an Award of Achievement. In addition, The Engineering Technology programs provide a good foundation for transfer to a bachelor degree program in engineering technology or industrial technology.
Courses in the Engineering Department are identified according to the following headings: Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), Electronics (ELEC), Engineering (ENGN), Engineering Technology (ET), Welding (WELD), and Geographic Information System (GIS).
In the biotechnology curriculum, a two-year course of study, the Engineering and Technology Department offers students specialized training for employment as bio-technicians engaged in research, design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, testing, or sales related to this field. All students in this field of study complete the required core courses. Specialization is offered from the second through the fourth semester course work and will lead to a certificate of accomplishment concurrently. The program advisers work closely with each student to assure normal progress. Upon successful completion of the curriculum, students receive the Associate in Science degree with Biotechnology as the Major.
Training in the Major. Training in the first year is designed to provide students with a sound working knowledge of the applied principles of mathematics, chemistry and biology and introductory biotechnology. In the second year, students complete more advanced courses in biotechnology.
Employment. Students who complete the curriculum satisfactorily are qualified for positions as qualtiy control, research and development, and bio-manufacturing technicians in hundreds of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the Bay Area.
Major. Students who complete the curriculum with final grades of C or higher in the major technical courses receive the Associate in Science degree in Biotechnology.
Four-year Degree Preparation. Besides preparing students who complete this curriculum for careers in the biotechnology industries, the students can also transfer to universities to pursue a BS degree, most likely in industrial technology with focus on biotechnology. The department currently has a formal articulation agreement with California State University at Fresno. Please contact the program advisor (239-3505 Science room 148) for details.

General Information
In the Engineering Technology Programs, City College trains students for employment as engineering technicians - persons who work with or under the directions of engineers and perform duties requiring a combination of the theoretical knowledge of an engineer and some of the skills of a craftsman.
The College offers two-year curricula in engineering technology in three fields: Electronics, electro-mechanical and mechanical engineering technologies. The curricula in these fields comprise the Engineering Technology Programs. Students should be aware that any change in major, such as a change from one technical curriculum to another or from one program to another, requires additional time for the completion of their revised educational objectives.
Prerequisites. High school prerequisites are one-year courses in elementary and advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry, mechanical drawing, and physics. A one-year course in high school chemistry is highly recommended for students intending to transfer to a bachelor degree program in engineering technology. Students who have not completed the required high school courses may take them at City College of San Francisco.
Students should possess a minimum level of competency in English communication skills. The completion of English as a Second Language 79 is recommended.
Broad Preparation for Employment. Because emphasis in the Program is on both fundamental engineering theory and basic industrial practices, graduates may qualify for employment in many fields: CAD operator, production planning and control, manufacturing, testing, inspection, sales, installation, maintenance, or servicing.
Each curriculum in engineering technology includes courses in subjects common to all branches of engineering. In general, these subjects include the following: graphics, mathematics, orientation to engineering, and physics. Through this related study, students obtain a better understanding of the work in their majors and develop a broad technical background.
General Education. The curricula also include instruction in general education so that students may satisfy the College graduation requirements in this area.
Associate in Science Degree and Award of Achievement. The Engineering Technology Program is designed so that students may satisfy the requirements for graduation from the College. Students who satisfy these requirements and complete any of the curricula with final grades of C or higher in their major technical courses also receive the Associate in Science degree in Electronic Engineering Technology or Mechanical Engineering Technology. The Major may be considered a recommendation by the faculty of the Engineering and Technology Department which, in conjunction with the Career Development and Placement Center, will aid the graduate in finding a position.
Transfer to Other Colleges and Universities. Students in the Engineering Technology Programs may either enter industry upon graduation or transfer to a four-year institution to earn a bachelor's degree in engineering technology. Several campuses of the California State University such as the Sacramento, Long Beach, and Pomona campuses, as well as private institutions, such as DeVry University, offer graduates this opportunity. Engineering Technology students may also choose to transfer to a bachelor degree program in industrial technology offered at several campuses of the California State University, such as the San Francisco, San Jose, Fresno, and Chico campuses. The time required for completion of curricula open to graduates at these schools is normally two additional years. Students who intend to transfer should consult their advisers and the section in this catalog entitled "Transfer Information."
