(Land Development for 350 New Homes) Daily Quantity Claims for Cost Summary and Progress of
Tasks
From Chabot to the UCs
At Chabot Establish a network of engineer colleagues
Join Engineering at Chabot (EaC) Get to know your fellow engineering classmates
Create study groups Get to know your professors at office hours
Utilize your Resources available to you Use the Math Lab and Tutoring Centers Attend personal statement workshops Schedule an appointment to have resume reviewed the
career center (for internships)
From Chabot to the UCs
At the UCs A new environment - adapt quickly!
Build a network Join a club Make new friends, but keep in touch with Chabot
friends Meet your professors
Find out what’s available to students
Utilize resources available to you Make frequent appointments with counselors and
advisors Create or join study Groups

ME Projects at UC Berkeley
Stunna Shades Automatic Car Shades Went from an idea to an
actual prototype
Kinetic Toothbrush Automatic toothbrush powered
by Electromagnetic Induction Kinetic energy in brushing is
converted into electrical energy
ME Projects at UC Davis
EME 50 Manufacturing Processes – A hands on class in designing and manufacturing open ended projects.
Project 1 – Totem Pole Piece.
Project 2 – Gyroscope.Both Projects designed
using Solid Edge and constructed in lab using the mill, lathe, and drill press.
Internships & Co-Ops
Valuable first hand experience Learn the tricks for the trade Some education is outside of the textbook
Allows you to explore a career path Find which specific part of engineering is for you
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Devices
W. L. Gore & Associates
KIEWIT San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (East Span Construction)
Schaefer Ranch Project
What’s After a BSCE/BSME
Start your career Obtain an entry level engineering position
Go back to school in the future
Pursue a graduate degree Masters in or outside of engineering PHD
Work at the forefront of technology Invent the next big thing!
Conclusion
Take Home Points Build a Network Utilize your resources at Chabot/UC Study, Study, and oh more Studying
Other Advice Master time management skills Learn as much as your can about your major,
requirements, courses, and desired school of transfer Speak with employers
