Experiment with Different Materials

New 3-D Printing & Basic Model MakingThe growing revolution in three-dimensional printing technology is generating exciting new career opportunities in design and engineering. Applications for 3-D printing, also called additive manufacturing, span an increasing variety of design fields, including aerospace, architecture, entertainment, medicine, packaging, transportation and others. This winter, Foothill continues its rapid prototyping certificate program by offering ENGR 62B: 3-D Printing Basic Model Making, the next course in the program series. “If you want to learn effective techniques, experiment with different materials and see your own creations come to life, this is the course for you,” says Foothill College Physical Sciences, Mathematics & Engineering Division Interim Dean Victor Tam, Ph.D. “You’ll also get hands-on experience using a cool design tool and work with industry technology that’s prevalent throughout Silicon Valley.” Learn the principles of effective three-dimensional design, printing and rapid prototyping. With an emphasis on plastic and metal processes, you’ll create forms and shapes using a variety of materials and model-making techniques. You’ll also develop skills to use quick model-development materials, including foam core, cardboard and clay. The five-unit course transfers to CSU. For registration instructions, access www.foothill.edu.

Integrating Study & Hands-On Experience

Archaeology & Anthropology in Ireland This SummerExplore castles, moated sites and ancient settlements in Ireland this summer as you earn college units and learn about archaeology and applied cultural anthropology. Under the leadership of Foothill Anthropology Instructor Sam Connell, Ph.D., the four-week field study project will focus on native Irish resistance to the English invasion in the 12th and 13th centuries. Set for July 2015, Foothill’s four-week archaeology project is based at Ballintober Castle in County Roscommon. You’ll concentrate on finding new archeological sites and participate in all aspects of the project, including surveying, mapping and artifact recording. In addition to fieldwork, you’ll study Irish culture by visiting major attractions and working with a living history museum to conduct experiments in medieval technology. You’ll also earn 12 units and complete an exciting program that includes cultural excursions, lectures and service learning projects. Throughout the experience, you’ll discover how the application of applied anthropology pertains to the modern world. No prior experience in anthropology is necessary. More than 200 Foothill students and community members of all ages and abilities have participated in Foothill’s field study programs, most recently in Ecuador. Learn about the program’s curriculum, fees and travel details by attending a free information session this winter. Information sessions will be presented Wednesdays, Jan. 21, Feb. 18 and March 18, at noon and again at 6 p.m. in Room 3102. You need only attend one session. For more program information and orientation details, call (650) 949-7197 or access www.foothill.edu/anthropology.

Here’s how it works: New sections of ENGL 1A and 1B will be opened provided that there are no sections of the courses with available seating. “We understand that you need to complete these courses, especially if you are pursuing the Foothill associate degree, and if you intend to transfer to a four-year university,” says Foothill’s Language Arts Division Dean Paul Starer, M.A. “Foothill College is committed to student success—and access.” Some restrictions apply, and you’ll need to be flexible.

From Angelou to X

African-American LiteratureFrom slave ships to the Pulitzer Prize, take a fascinating journey through African-American literature by enrolling in the ENGL 12 course this winter. You’ll trace the history of America’s black writers from the height of the U.S. slave trade through the 21st century. In 1773, Phyllis Wheatley became the first African American to publish a book. Her poetry challenged the prejudicial view that blacks lacked the imagination, originality and vision to engage in creative writing. Of course, her contributions were only the beginning. Many more were to follow; individuals whose work continues to influence a movement and encourage generations, including Angelou, Baldwin, Brooks, Cullen, Danticat, Douglass, Dubois, Giovanni, Hansberry, Hughes, Hurston, King, Lorde, Morrison, Obama, Naylor, Shange, Truth, Walker, Washington, Wright and X—to name a few. You’ll study the significant literary, social, cultural and political issues present in African-American writing through the examination of the narrative, the short story, poetry and drama. The four-unit course transfers to CSU and UC. For registration instructions, access www.foothill.edu.
