The Engineering: Electrical track program at Glendale College is designed to satisfy
the lower division requirements of a 4-year electrical engineering program so that
students can transfer to an ABET accredited university and complete their training
in two years (60 units or less). Emphasis is placed on articulating to the California
State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) systems. Students develop
a foundational mixture of analytical knowledge and practical project based hands-on
skills that prepares them to succeed in a range of electrical engineering topics such
as power, biomedical, digital electronics, communications and systems engineering
as well as sustainability and design.
The Certificate is granted to students who have completed at least 12 semester units
of the required courses at Glendale Community College. All courses must be completed
with a grade of “C” or better, or a “P” grade.
Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will identify, formulate, and solve engineering
problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics; apply the
engineering design process to create engineering solutions that meet specified needs
that integrates consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global,
cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors; communicate technical information
effectively with a range of audiences; function effectively on a team whose members
together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish
goals, plan tasks, and meet technical objectives; and transfer to a bachelor's degree
program in order to finish preparing for a career in a specific discipline of electrical
engineering.
