Assignment
 Design for YOURSELF a Course-ByCourse, and Term-by-Term Plan to
Obtain a Baccalaureate Engineering
Degree from a Transfer University
 To Include (examples follow)
• Your Choice of Engineering Discipline
• Year and Semester/Quarter
• Institution = MPC + Transfer-University
• Course: Title, Number, Unit Value

Constraints
 Time limit
 Work responsibilities
 A convoluted web of requirements—
Gen Ed as well as Technical
• Most schools recommend favoring Tech
classes at MPC
• Math/Physics/Engr Web is challenging
– minimum 2 years
– Possibly longer due to some classes offered
only in spring/fall

Some Points from UC Davis Meeting

MPC fully articulated with Davis!
–



CSIS 10A, 10B in place of ECS 30, 40
Enrollments up in Civil, Mech Engr
Transfers perform at same GPA, success as
“natives”
Berkely EE100 can be qualified by CC
course, units met thru upper div electives
UC Gen Ed/Articulation Issues

IGETC not suitable for engineering majors
–

SCIGETC attempts to remedy,
–
–

Leaves out engineering core courses needed to xfer
Leans to bio sciences
ETC planned forthcoming
–

Students advised to concentrate on major courses at
community colleges
Includes core Calculus/Physics/Chemistry + English +
Engineering
See answers for transfers online
UCSD


Unlike all other UCs, UCSD puts engineering
core classes in upper division
Students need to appeal when they arrive on
campus
–
paperwork can be completed in advance
ETC Base (not yet approved)



2 courses in English Comp/Critical Thinking
[optional] 1 course ea in (arts/humanities)
(social/behavioral science)
MATH 20A, 20B, 20C, 32
PHYS 3A,3B,3C
CSIS 10A Intro to Programming
[recommend] Intro to Engr/Skills for success
SPEECH 1 Public Speaking (req’d CSU, recom UC)
After ETC Base, check grades, choose school/major, then…
ETC Advanced (focus on major/school)



MATH 31 Linear Algebra
CHEM 1A + Lab
Choose 1 of following sequence
–
–
–
–
–
–

Chem thru second organic chem (ChemE)
Frosh chem, 2 bio incl cellular (BioE, BioInformatics)
Circuits, materials, computer org (EE, ECE)
Circuits, computer org, data structures (CompE)
Computer org, data structures, discrete math (CS)
Statics, circuits, materials, graphics (MechE, CivilE)
Many ENGR majors should take Unix (CSIS 80)
ETC Advanced at MPC
