Here are descriptions of some of the courses that will be offered for spring semester:
Intro to Digital Photography (ART 141): Introduces photographic techniques. Topics include exposure, camera controls, digital
printing and file management. Explores creative possibilities and thematic modes of
photography; working in series. Note: In-person class is full; web class is open.

C. Davis Observatory facilities. Includes four laboratory experiences. Note: Prerequisites

Private Pilot Ground School (AV 110): Covers the necessary aeronautical knowledge and meets the prerequisites specified
in Appendix B to 14 CFR Part 141 (and 14 CFR 61.105) to successfully pass the private

of flight, aircraft and engine operations, weather, navigation and radio communications
as required by the Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Topics include general
service, maintenance and safety practices.
Instrument Ground School (AV 210): Have you ever wondered how a pilot can find an airport runway in bad weather? Learn
how pilots fly through inclement weather. If you want to become an instrument pilot,
you will be able to legally fly in the clouds, rain and fog, which broadens your abilities
and keeps you in the air instead of on the ground during inclement weather. Pilots
who want to fly in the clouds need to get an instrument rating added on to their private
or commercial pilot certificate. And most professional aviation businesses require
pilots to be instrument-rated, so its a necessary step for those who might want to
become an airline or corporate pilot. The ability to fly solely by reference to instruments
in the aircraft means that a pilot isnt limited to good weather operations only. It
is also one of the most rewarding opportunities as an instrument pilot. You will also
receive college elective credit for the BAS, AGS and AAS degree.
