Coming This Summer

Bridge Program Can Improve Your Math SkillsBig! That’s the impact that the very first math course you take in college can have on the overall time that it will take you to complete an associate degree, certificate or university transfer requirements. This summer, Foothill College will help you improve your math skills so that you don’t spend time, money or energy taking classes that you don’t need to graduate or transfer. Most Foothill students who complete this summer program increase their math placement at least one level. These eight days can get you to your goal of a degree or transfer faster. The program is designed to help you brush up on math skills so that you’re better prepared to advance to the next level of math instruction. The perfect solution if you were challenged by math in high school, the program meets for just two weeks. Choose from Aug. 4–14 or Aug. 18–28. For registration instructions, call (650) 949-7240 or email [email protected].

In the MATH 1A course, you’ll study limits, derivatives and their applications to curve-sketching, families of functions, and optimization. The MATH 1B course gives you an introduction to fundamental theorems and their application to geometry, physics, and the solution to elementary differential equations. MATH 1C will introduce you to functions of more than one variable, including vectors, partial differentiation, the gradient, contour diagrams and optimization. Prerequisites apply and an appropriate score on the math placement test is required. All three of the five-unit courses transfer to CSU and UC.

Experiments include the use of a variety of instruments such as AC/DC meters, regulated power supplies, signal generators, oscilloscopes and frequency counters. You’ll conduct and observe these experiments using new state-of-the-art equipment. For registration instructions, access www.foothill.edu.

Hands-On Learning

Properties of Materials Materials are the foundation for all engineering applications, and advances in materials and their processing are driving all technologies, including the nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy and electronic information industries. With the right combination of knowledge and hands-on experience, you can pursue a rewarding engineering career. Improve your understanding of the chemical and physical principles of materials in the five-unit ENGR 45: Properties of Materials course. In addition to the concepts discussed in class, you’ll conduct a series of hands-on experiments to observe the modern practices that are used to improve materials’ properties. The course transfers to CSU and UC. For registration instructions, access www.foothill.edu.

Connect to the Visual World

Art Makes You SmartSharpen your critical-thinking skills as you learn how to decipher our increasingly complex visual world by enrolling in the ART 1: Introduction to Art course.

Visionary Donors Help Shape Foothill Health Care ProfessionalsFoothill College student Stacey Shelton, of Felton, knows that she owes a debt of gratitude to a Los Altos couple that she’ll never meet. Though deceased, Lola and Steve Kaider had the vision to provide scholarships for Foothill students who are training for in-demand health care careers. Shelton, a single parent who is completing Foothill’s Respiratory Therapy Program, is the 2014 recipient of the Kaider Scholarship President’s Award, which includes a $5,000 stipend. This year, 30 other Foothill College students who are training for health care careers have received awards ranging from $1,000 to $1,800 from the Kaider Scholarship Fund.
