Occupational Internship: Paid 75-300/Unpaid 60-240 Auto Mechanics The purpose of this course is to enable eligible students to include supervised on-the-job training as an integral part of the total college educational program. This is accomplished through a planned program of learning experiences which combines academic and vocational learning at school with new learning experiences on the job in an occupational setting. *NOTE: TBA (to be arranged) hours are included in the total hours listed above. May be taken 4 times for credit. Prerequisite: Previous Auto Mechanics classes; each student must be enrolled for the full semester and have completed one course in the discipline. A training agreement must be completed prior to registration. Please refer to the Occupational Internship Student Handbook for specific information. --Transfers to CSU only

Natural History and Biodiversity LEC 48-54/LAB 48-54 A study of the biodiversity and natural history of interior Southern California. The course emphasizes the relationship of local geology to the flora and fauna of the Chaparral, Montane, and Desert Communities. Emphasis in this fieldtrip-based laboratory study of flora and fauna includes field recognition of plant species, ethnobotany, and identification of major mammals, reptiles and birds of the areas studied. Six field trips are planned, students expected to provide their own transportation. Prerequisite: None. --AA/AS General Education: AA/AS A --Transfers to both UC/CSU
