Why Community College?
• Price• Flexibility with choosing major• Education quality• Easier to boost GPA• Unique internship opportunities• Flexibility with schedules

Engineering: CSU VS. UC• UC: Well Known; job/internship fairs• CSU: Cost effective (CSU$ ≈ UC$/2)• UC: Less GE and shorter graduation time• UC: Often higher quality labs/equipment• CSU: More locations• UC: More focus on graduate study and research• CSU: More focus on skills needed to enter workforce• UC: Evening classes are more rare• CSU: More faculty taught classes/office hours• CSU: Easier to go to school part time
BOTH ARE GOOD OPTIONS

Why San Jose State?
• Close to silicon valley companies• Part of the top 50 engineering schools in the world.• “Full Service” engineering department• Probably 3rd most well known for engineering in the Bay Area• Smaller class sizes than most UC’s• Well known engineering projects by students and faculty

Pitfalls for Transfers• Know the difference between university’s graduation and
transfer requirements • Know the difference between CSU and UC GE requirements• Harder to transfer if no major declared• Keep track of major requirements: They may change!• If your major is impacted at a certain school; double check
that you have met the most up to date transfer requirements• Check transfer requirements both at JC and University• Articulation between courses at JC and University• IGETC for engineering transfers

Engineering Tips• Don’t overcomplicate problems: – Engineering is an inexact science – Reasonable Approximations will be used.
• Learn CREATIVITY:– I advise shop and welding classes, especially for ME’s– Build or sketch something cool
WHY? -> Engineering is a creative process

Tips for Engineering Transfers• Use ASSIST.org and university articulation websites• Visit booths of UC’s and CSU’s as well as any other colleges
you may be interested in on transfer day• Consult with professor Mayer on community college courses
to take• Consider an associates degree if you have the credits
