ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS Southern California Institute of Technology has not entered Into any articulation or transfer agreement with any other college or university. BOARD OF TUSTEES The Board of Trustees Is responsible for ensuring that Southern California Institute of Technology achieves its mission and purpose and maintains its academic and financial integrity as an Institution of higher learning. The following are members of the Board of Trustees: • Rosa Belerique • Shahan Dadjou • Parviz Rashd (Chairman) • Arlan Shams • Nazila Shams • Parviz Shams • Sam Brian Shams • Fattaneh Tavassold • Lissa B. Wayne CAMPUS & FACILITIES SCIT maintains an educational facility consisting of 40,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory space. The institution, the facilities it occupies, and the equipment utilized, filly comply with any and all federal, state, and local ordinances and regulations, Including those requirements as to fire, building, and health safety. Instruction Is In residence at the current facility with both day and night classes. The campus includes 25 classrooms and 17 Instructional laboratories. SCIT's campus maintains close to 200 computers for student use. Other school features Include a student lounge, learning center and a library. SCIT's laboratory facilities Include: Biomedical Instrumentation: The Biomedical Instrumentations Lab is a simulated clinical environment equipped with electronic -based medical devices such as patient monitoring systems, infusion pumps, cardiac defibrillators, ultrasound machines, neonatal equipment and various other commonly used biomedical instruments. Students learn about device functionaldties and train to troubleshoot and repair them in accordance with certain standards. • Blueprints: The Blueprints Lab is a simulated environment where students work within a team Installing wiring and electrical components in a home structure in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. Students learn to properly read blueprint schematics, identify where wiring and electrical components should be installed and work as a team to correctly follow the blueprints and complete installation. Instructors act as Inspectors to mimic real -world processes and ensure all installations meet code standards. Code Special Topics: The Code Spedal Topics Lab gives students the opportunity to gain real -world experience by working on hand -selected projects that improve specialty electrical skills. Electrical faculty choose projects baser) on About SCIT tasks students may likely encounter in the field. Such projects Include wind turbine Installations, large conduit bending, low voltage electrical Installations like alarm or fire systems, and completing installations that adhere to OSHA safety standards and much more. Commercial Wiring: The Commercial Wiring Lab is a steel - framed envlromment consisting of 70+stations where students gain hands-on experience Installing wiring and electrical devices for commercial complexes. The lab Is designed to mimic a commercial building constructed with steel frames. Training focuses on the application of National Electrical Code (NEC) standards as they pertain to electrical installations for commercial buildings. • Computer Fundamentals: The Computer Fundamentals Lab is a repair workspace environment where students gain hands-on experience repairing computer hardware. Students disassemble computer hardware, identify Issues, make repairs, replace components and re -assemble computers to a working state. Students learn about variety of components found In home and business settings, such as multi-NIC drives. The lab is designed to teach common practices for those entering the IT field and other related roles, such as how to crimp RJ45 plugs to Cat5e cables. • Computer Networking: The Computer Networking Lab (nett-ab) is a virtual cluster of multiple networking devices, including servers, clients, routers, switches and firewalls. Students gain hands-on experience working with Microsoft and Cisco servers and network devices. Students train to Install, administer and configure clients, servers and network devices that connect to network infrastructures to meet a variety of needs for businesses of all sizes, from small companies to large enterprises. • DC/AC Circuits: The DC/AC Circuits Lab is used by many programs at SCIT and teaches foundational skills required in a variety of courses, projects and other labs. The lab environment contains a series of breadboard stations where students build a range of electronic circuits to study and learn the theory behind the fundamental building blocks of electronic systems, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors and more, Other courses and labs build on the concepts learned In the DC/AC Circuits Lab. • Digital Electronics: The Digital Electronics Lab includes measuring equipment and multiple digital electronic components that give students hands-on experience constructing electronic circuits that accomplish specific tasks. Students become familiarized with the construction of electronic circuits designed for practical applications. For example, students learn to construct a circuit that functions as a calculator. • Engineering Design: The Engineering Design Lab is an open lab where senior students can work on their capstone project. The lab includes various engineering tools and devices, allowing students to design and build a device that integrates numerous interdisciplinary concepts learned throughout their studies. Students work Individually or in teams to complete the project and submit a report that outlines the design details as well as the market feasibility of the product. Industrial Automation: The Industrial Automation Lab allows students to design and build an automation process. Students learn about various types of sensors and how they can be tied to PLC inputs, which are controlled by a ladder logic program In order to achieve a defined goal. For example, students learn to program a PLC to drive a Page 5 of 67
