Engineering (Continuing Education)

Short Term

ÆßÉ«ÊÓÆµ is offering two Continuing Education courses to high school students and the general community. Both courses lead to certifications that will allow students to apply for work positions in the fields of engineering, science, and technology.

Python for STEM

Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn and has become the leading programming language for machine learning and artificial intelligence models. Engineering and science professionals with Python knowledge and Python programmers with specialization in data science and AI are in high demand and will continue to be in the near feature.

This course focuses on applying Python programming language to solve STEM problems. Course examples and problems will be taken from engineering and science problems. After the course, students may prepare themselves to take an introductory certification exam in Python. The certification exam is not offered in the course but advising will be giving to students planning to take the certification exam after successfully completing the course.

Engineering Graphics

Students will learn how to design 3D parts and will be introduced to the use of 3D printers to manufacture their parts. SolidWorks program is taught in the course because it is one of the primary CAD software used in the industry. Proficient students will be allowed to take the initial certification exam CSWA for free. This course will be transferrable to the Associate in Engineering degree program if the student later on decides to enroll in the program. Students will share the same classroom with Associate in Engineering students currently enrolled in the program.

Upcoming Program Events

CSC-3110Y Python for STEM

Students will learn to use the programming language Python in STEM related areas. The course provides an introduction to the Python Programming language and focuses on Python libraries used to solve problems/projects in STEM area. The following topics will be covered: an introduction to the Numerical Math - NumPy, Numerical Methods - SciPy, Plotting - Mathlotlib, Symbolic Math, and Data Handling - Pandas libraries. Examples and applications will be in the STEM area. Python is one of the easiest programming languages to learn and it is the main language of Data Science. The course does not prepare students for a certification exam in Python but gives a very good foundation to prepare yourself to take the exam in the future. Participants should have high school math background. Participants need to have a flash drive. No prior programming skills needed.

DFT-3100B Engineering Graphics

Start a promising career in by learning Technical Drawing using SolidWorks 3D CAD program. Take the SolidWorks Associate Certification Exam - CSWA (initial certificate exam). At the end of the course the students should be able to: Understand engineering graphics concepts; Use engineering graphics to communicate an idea or design; Sketch 3D Parts; Become familiar with SolidWorks and as an engineering graphics tool; Develop 3-D models of parts and assemblies; Develop engineering drawings using orthogonal, auxiliary, section, detail, and isometric views; Use dimensional information, including tolerance in engineering drawings; Additive Manufacturing - 3D Printing Fundamentals; Be prepared to take the CSWA (Initial SolidWorks Certificate Exam) - exam is included in the course. Participants are required to purchase textbook. Participants need to have a Flash Drive.
