Electrical Engineering

Overview

The Certificate of Achievement in Electrical Engineering is offered to prepare students to transfer to a California State University or other university (with the exception of University of California) as an Electrical Engineering major. This program will enable students to develop a strong foundational understanding in engineering, physics and mathematics that will be essential as they continue on the engineering pathway. In addition, students will benefit from hands-on laboratory experiences in their engineering and science courses allowing them to learn by doing. The LPC Electrical Engineering certificate is intended for transfer to a CSU or other non-UC university. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor early on and refer to the catalog of the prospective transfer institution to determine specific major requirements required for transfer since they can vary from university to university. If interested in transferring to a UC as an Electrical Engineering major, please see the Associates of Science or Certificate of Achievement in Electrical Engineering UC Pathway.

Program Learning Outcome(s)

Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

1. Apply fundamental principles from mathematics, science and engineering to solve an electrical engineering-related problem.
2. Set up appropriate laboratory equipment, collect and analyze electrical data, draw conclusions, and clearly communicate results.
3. Use a variety of technological tools to solve electrical engineering problems.
