Mr. Moore: FSAE at UC Berkeley Student run group, from design to racing

• Get hands on experience building a race car

• Compete against other universities (e.g. CP-SLO)



Example BSME from Goal = Baccalaureate in Mechanical

Engineering from UC Davis (UCD) Assume

• Took Lots of Math, Science, and English at Mt. Eden High School– i.e., I’m Well Prepared for MTH1 & ENGL1A

• Parents GENEROUSLY Allow me to Live at Home for While At Chabot– No Living Expenses for First Two Years– Work ALL Summers to pay for UCDavis

UCD Advice to CC TransfersTransfer students. To be eligible for transfer into the College of Engineering you must have at least ninety transferable quarter units (sixty semester units) from another institution. To be a competitive applicant, you must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.100.Highest priority for transfer admission is given to California community college transfer applicants who have completed two transferable English composition courses and all of the required lower division engineering coursework offered at the community college they attended. We give lower priority for admission to community college applicants who are missing one or two of the required lower division courses. Community college applicants will be denied admission if they are missing THREE or more of the required lower-division courses.



Potential Issues

A Student’s Plan MUST meet the Transfer-University DEGREE REQUIRMENTS for the Major chosen

Caveat (i.e., Beware)• PreReqs often result in “brush up” Courses

that Do Not Ultimately Count toward the Baccalaureate degree– This Happened to the Instructor

Started Math at Algebra II, Not Calculus



Potential Issues cont.1

Caveat (i.e., Beware) cont.• Some LOWER Division Courses May NOT

be offered by Chabot (e.g., EME 50) so Plan on Taking Them at the University– This Happened to the Instructor

Circuit Engineering NOT offered at my Comm College

• If you have to WORK Part-Time to support yourself, PACE your Course Offerings to allow for time on the Job– This Happened to the Instructor

Worked at a SuperMarket All Thru the Higher Ed

http://www.ucdavis.edu/




Caveat (i.e., Beware) cont• Working-Student Pacing

– Assume that Transfer occurs at the FALL TermMost University Engineering Schools do NOT accept

MID-YEAR Transfers

– Most Transfer Universities have PROGRESS REQUIREMENTS; assume UP TO8 Semesters (4 years) at Chabot5-Semesters or 7-Quarters at the University

At UCD the Progress Requirement is 13 units per Quarter At UCBerkeley the Progress Requirement is 12 Units Per

Semester




Caveat (i.e., Beware) cont• Beware of PreReQ CHAINS and

BottleNecks– Some Courses may Have PreReqs THREE,

or More, Levels Deep– A Single Course could be a PreReq to MANY

More coursese.g.; A Chabot transfer student reported that a

“GateKeeper” Dynamics course was required for almost ALL upper-division ME Coures at UCSB (offered ONLY Summer & Spring)

• VERY CAREFULLY Check all PreReqs

Chabot ENGR Schedule Pattern

Spring Fall10 X X11 X X22 X X25 X X36 X43 X45 X

OfferedENGRCourse



Articulation vs Transferability Articulated courses Transfer DIRECTLY and

ONE-to-ONE against Courses REQUIRED for the BS-Engineering Degree• e.g; Chabot ENGR45 counts as UCLA

MatSci104 or SCUS-Chico MECH210, etc.

“Transferable” courses apply GENERALLY to the 60 units needed for transfer; they are NON-Required Electives• e.g; Chabot GEOG-1 transfers to UC/CSU but

does NOT apply to BS-Engineering Degrees



Beware IGETC

Following IGETC for GE almost always results in Engineering Students Taking TOO MANY GE Courses• IGETC almost always WORKS, but almost

always OverDoes GE for Engineers

Goal = Baccalaureate in Mechanical Engineering from UC Davis (UCD)

Assume• Didn’t Know What I wanted to Do While at San

Lorenzo High School– i.e., Not Quite Ready for MTH1, ENGL1A, CHEM1A

• Want to Be On My Own at 19– Get an Apartment with a RoomMate

Must Work 24 hrs/week on Average While at ChabotGet Loans and work 16 hrs/week While at UCD



BSME – Year1 at Chabot

Notes & Comments• “Brush Up” PreReq Courses Shown in Brown

– 18 Units Worth

• Even though Added a 3rd Year at Chabot, still take more than 15 units

To be a competitive applicant, you must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.100.* We give highest priority for transfer admission to California community college transfer applicants who have completed two transferable English composition courses and all of the required lower division engineering major requirements offered at the community college they attended. * Community college applicants will be denied admission if they are missing three or more of the required lower-division courses.

Expected Progress. Undergraduate students are expected to graduate in 12 quarters (four years). To do so, students should plan to complete an average of 15 units per quarter (15 units per quarter for 12 quarters totals 180 units). Because occasions arise which prevent students from achieving expected progress towards the degree, the campus has established minimum progress requirements, to which students must adhere.

Minimum Progress Requirements. To meet minimum progress, a full-time regular undergraduate is required to maintain an average of at least 13 units passed over all quarters of enrollment. Minimum progress is calculated at the end of every Spring Quarter for the preceding three quarters (Fall, Winter, Spring) comprising the academic year. Undergraduate students falling below this requirement are not in good minimum progress and may be disqualified from further enrollment at the University. Quarters for which a student was officially approved for part-time status are omitted from the minimum progress calculation. For more information, see Probation and Dismissal.

Certification of Full-Time Status. Undergraduate students must carry a study load of at least 12 units (including workload units) each quarter in order to be certified as full-time students for insurance and financial aid purposes or to compete in intercollegiate athletics. Graduate students must carry a study load of at least 12 units each quarter in order to be certified as full-time students.

Course Loads in the College of Engineering. Because of the large number of required units in engineering programs, many students must take more than 15 units per quarter and/or attend summer session to finish in four years.
