PROGRAMS / COURSE DESCRIPTION
An in-depth analysis of DC theory and circuit operation.
Topics include applications of Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s
Laws and their applications to series, parallel and
series-parallel circuits, voltage dividers and bridge
circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, and
network theorems, and an introduction to alternating
voltages and currents.
ELCT 132 A.C. CIRCUIT THEORY AND ANALYSIS
Units: 4.0 - 48-54 hours lecture and 48-54 hours
laboratory. CSU. (No prerequisite)
An in-depth analysis of AC circuit theory and circuit
operation. Topics include the characteristics of inductors
and capacitors and their response in AC circuits, RC
and RL time constants, alternating current circuits,
complex number analysis, network analysis for AC
circuits, resonance, filters.

of semiconductor devices. To include bi-polar and field
effect transistors, DC stability design and analysis, small
signal parameters and AC equivalent circuits, class A
and B power amplifiers, class C and other amplifiers,
and frequency effects.
ELCT 134 SOLID STATE CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
Units: 4.0 - 48-54 hours lecture and 48-54 hours
laboratory. CSU. (No prerequisite)
Course focuses on linear-integrated circuits and their
use in the design of circuits and instruments. Topics
include operational amplifier theory and linear circuits,
nonlinear OP-Amp circuits, regulated power supplies,
oscillators and timers, thyristors, frequency domain, and
frequency mixing.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL
SERVICES
Victor Valley College offers two programs that enable
students to enter careers in Emergency Medical
Services. The first is the Emergency Medical
Technician, after which students may continue to the
Paramedic Program. Classes in this area meet
California State EMS authority and ICEMA regulations.

Degrees and Certificates Awarded
Emergency Medical Technician I (Ambulance)
Emergency Medical Technician Certificate (Refresher)
Paramedic Certificate
Associate in Science, Paramedic
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN
The EMT I is the beginning level for emergency
response personnel. It is the minimum preparation
required to staff an ambulance.
EMT I can be completed in one class.
Recommended preparation for EMT
Although there is currently no prerequisite for the EMT
course, students might wish to consider taking EMS 50
as an introduction. This Emergency Medical Responder
course is designed for those individuals desiring to
achieve a higher level of personal preparedness for
situations such as natural disasters, emergencies in the
home, and/or industrial emergency response teams.
