  • 1.50 Credits

    Class hours: 1.5 Lecture This course provides basic and comprehensive details of quality control concepts for those new to or already in the manufacturing field. Areas covered include quality costs, product liability, reliability and acceptance sampling. Techniques of using production charts, graphs and tables are covered to emphasize quality improvement with manufacturing sampling. Actual case studies and current manufacturing quality issues and concerns will be studies. Related terms and methods of Quality Assurance (QA), Total Quality Management (TQM), International Standards Organization (ISO) 9000 quality standards, Statistical Process Control (SPC), just in time (JIT) as well as other quality tools will be outlined and identified.
  • 1.50 Credits

    Class hours: 1.5 Lecture This survey course is a study of ISO 9000:2000, the quality standard established by the International Standard Organization, as it applies to the manufacturing industry. Materials covered will include the ISO 9000 documents and selected references on the topic. Special emphasis will be placed on the advantages of implementing an ISO 9000 Quality System in an industrial manufacturing environment.
  • 1.50 Credits

    Class hours: 1.5 Lecture This survey course examines the nature and application in manufacturing of Total Quality Management (TQM) in today's competitive environment. Students will be introduced to basic concepts of quality and why its philosophy of continuous improvement will provide the framework for production systems. The "team" approach to all facets in quality of production within industry is examined.
  • 1.50 Credits

    Class hours: 1.5 Lecture This survey course is for those interested in learning about Benchmarking as a strategic tool in manufacturing environment for continuous quality improvement. Topics will include a definition of Benchmarking, resources available to help in the manufacturing Benchmarking process, case studies and examples of companies that have used Benchmarking methods in production.
  • 1.50 Credits

    Class hours: 1.5 Lecture This survey course is designed for individuals interested or actively engaged in developing an effective strategy for process improvements. The course will help Quality, Manufacturing and Engineering personnel understand the differences between Lean and Six Sigma, define the distinct power and focus of each, and why they are used together in a synchronized and complimentary way. Merging Lean and Six Sigma initiatives creates culture change, immediate results, and streamlined processes, paving the way for more effective and sustainable results.
  • 1.50 Credits

    Class hours: 1.5 Lecture This course is an overview of quality control systems, organizational structure, quality costs, vendor relations, acceptance sampling, and customer relations. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of adequate product requirements.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Class hours: 3.0 Lecture Student will utilize basic mathematic functions to solve applied technical shop problems in the industrial manufacturing work place. Typical applications will emphasize problems encountered by sales, supervision, quality assurance technicians, inspectors, shop floor, and maintenance personnel. Emphasis will be placed on specific hand measurement instruments and devices to solve common manufacturing problems and verify quality. Problem solving is stressed involving weights and measures, ratios, conversions of standard and metric system measurements, and dimensional and spatial relationships. Students will learn how to interpret manufacturing requirements including process specifications, engineering drawing, symbols and dimensional tolerances.
  • 5.00 Credits

    Class hours: 3.0 Lecture/6.0 Laboratory Prerequisite: CHEM 100 or BIOL 120 or ZOOL 120 or equivalent with grades of Pass or "C" or higher. Through lecture and laboratory exercises, this course provides an introduction to the microbial world. Emphasis is on microbial structure, microbial genetics, host-microbe interactions, the immune response, and disease control/prevention. Current issues in acquired immuno deficiency syndrome research and recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid technology are discussed. Laboratory exercises will emphasize microbial morphology and identification through microscopic observation and biochemical testing. This course satisfies the requirements of majors in two and four-year nursing programs, dental hygiene, and is recommended for pre-professional biology majors. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC
  • 1.00 Credits

    Class hours: 3.0 Independent Study A course to provide opportunity for individual research and field projects under the direction of a faculty member in a given department. With the guidance of the faculty member, students prepare and carry out a written learning agreement describing the purposes and outcomes of the project. Students should expect to meet with the supervising faculty member one to two hours each week for conferences. Credit is based upon the number of hours in the semester expected to complete the project (1 unit for 54 hours, 2 units for 108 hours). This course may be taken a maximum of 2 times. For selected disciplines, UC transfer credit may be possible after admission to a UC campus, pending review of appropriate course materials by UC staff. See a counselor for an explanation. Transfer Credit: CSU
