The Associate in Science in Agriculture Plant Science for Transfer provides students with a foundation in environmental horticulture for upper-division course work in agriculture and environmental plant sciences. The Associate in Science in Agriculture Plant Science for Transfer is designed to provide students a clear transfer pathway to the CSU within the agricultural science field major and the completion of the baccalaureate degree, with guaranteed admission to a CSU to a similar major with junior standing, and the ability to complete their remaining requirements within 60 semesters or 90 quarter units.

Agriculture and plant sciences have a wide range of career choices available in California’s growing horticulture and agronomic industries. Graduates in these majors are in growing demand as agriculture becomes increasingly high-tech and the movement towards sustainable practices increases. Earning a degree in Agriculture Plant Sciences is a starting point for careers in, soil science and conservation, agricultural biology, entomology, plant biotechnology, postharvest physiology, and environmental protection of water, farmlands, open space, and landscaped areas.

The Associate in Science in Agriculture Plant Science for Transfer Degree Requirements:

These processes are used in the aerospace and manufacturing industries. Welding practice prepares the student for the Structural Steel Groove and Light Gauge Structural Certification. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) will include the welding of steel, aluminum and stainless steel as used in the aerospace industry.

Metal fabrication skills including blueprint reading, shop math, metal fit-up and production welding techniques. Instruction includes structural steel welding codes and welding theory. Students are required to purchase welding materials and protective clothing. A Certificate of Achievement is awarded upon completion of all required courses with a grade of C or better.

Program Outcomes

- Demonstrate the necessary skills to enter the job market as welders, metal workers or transfer to a four-year school.

- Demonstrate knowledge of the ethical and social responsibilities, understand and apply safe working procedures to a career in Welding Technology.

- Demonstrate the value of teamwork in the field of Welding Technology.

- Demonstrate appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools used in Welding Technology.

- Demonstrate skills in Gas Welding, Tungsten Inert Gas, Gas Metal Welding, Electric Arc Welding, Shielded Metal Arc Welding and Flux Cored Arc Welding.

- Demonstrate the skills required to obtain the American Welding Societies' “Structural Steel Welding Certification” and the “Los Angeles City Structural Steel Welding” Licenses.

- Demonstrate the proper use of related reference tables, diagrams, symbols, abbreviation graphics and charts for analysis for the interpretation of blueprints and specifications.
