programming to build professional, database-driven Web sites that incorporate authentication and
security. Includes a comprehensive Web development project that applies core concepts resulting in a
PHP code demonstration site. Total of 36 hours lecture and 54 hours laboratory.
Rationale: This is a required course for the Web Development Certificate of Achievement.
CIS 199 WEB SCRIPTING AND WEB SERVER SECURITY
3 units
Prerequisite: CIS 012.
Web Scripting and Web Security from both the client and server-side. Fundamentals in markup
languages (HTML/XHTML), scripting languages like JavaScript, PHP, Ajax, and ASP.NET, SQL, Ruby on
Rails, and the introduction to mobile software development. Total of 36 hours lecture and 54 hours
laboratory.
Rationale: Course is a requirement for the Web Development Certificate of Achievement
ENGR 013 STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
3 units
Prerequisite: Engr 011.
The study of mechanics of material. Topics include stresses, strains and deformations associated with
axial, torsional and flexural loading of bars, shafts and beams, as well as pressure loading of thin-walled
pressure vessels. Includes stress and strain transformation, Mohr’s Circle, ductile and brittle failure
theories, and the buckling of columns. Statically indeterminate systems are also studied. Total of 54 hours
lecture.
Transfer Credit: CSU; UC credit under review.
Rationale: This course articulates with Course Identification Numbering Descriptor (C-ID) system, and to
align with AS-T requirements for Engineering disciplines. The outcomes of the course are based on
academic preparation while fulfilling lower division course requirements for engineering disciplines
articulated with CSUs and UCs.
MRKT 132 RETAIL MANAGEMENT

function, merchandising, promotional techniques, site selection, layout, staffing, market positioning and
customer service. Total of 54 hours of lecture.

WELD 303 LAC WELDING LICENSE WRITTEN EXAM PREP
3 units
Preparation for the LAC Structural Weld License, written exam. No 'hands on' welding in this class.
Emphasis on the AWS D 1.1 Structural Steel Code, welding symbols, joint design, electrode classification
and general principals of FCAW and SMAW arc welding processes. At the end of the course you will
need to go through the LAC Application process to pay for and schedule your test. Total of 54 hours
lecture.
Rationale: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 1988 there were 570,000 welders in the U.S.
and by 2012 there were fewer than 360,000 and the average age of these welders if 55 years old who will
be retiring this decade. The American Welding Society estimates that by 2020 there will be a shortage of
over 290,000 welding and related positions.
There is a shortage of “qualified” structural welders nationwide. The trade unions in California that do the
majority of structural welding projects are offering unheard of benefits to welders with no field experience,
but hold the LA City Welders License. A welder that has never been on a bridge building project but holds
the requisite certification can walk on the job at $25.06 an hour, not including the benefit package,
through the Pile Drivers Union, Local 2375.
The ticket to these high paying entry level jobs is the Los Angeles City Welders License, issued by the
City of Los Angeles, Department of Building Safety and Material Controls. The test consist of three parts.
Two out of position, unlimited thickness welding coupons, tested in accordance to AWS D 1.1 PreQualification Standards and lastly a written component that is given at the City of Los Angeles, for which
you must apply, provide residence documentation and a passport photo.
The application process can be difficult, but the test itself has proven to have fail rate of first time takers of
over 60 percent. The test demands an in-depth understanding of welding theory, blueprint and welding
symbols, electrode classification but also a thorough knowledge of the AWS D 1.1 Code book. The
leading welding programs including Cerritos College, offer a 3 unit, lecture only course dedicated to the
written component of this test.
This class prepares students to take the LA City Written Structural License.
