General Education for Engineering Majors for Transfer

English 110 is an admission requirement for the UC/CSU

English/Philosophy 111 is required for admission to the UC system and most CSU campuses

(see list of exceptions on Engineering Grid)

Communication 121,131,141,161, or 235 is required for CSU admission (CSU GE pattern A1)

Communication 121 or 131 required for UC Davis

One additional course from the Arts/Humanities/Social Behavioral Sciences is required for UC admission

Engineering, math, computer science and other science majors should focus on completing the preparation for the major vs. IGETC and/or CSU GE Pattern.

(Unless IGETC/CSU GE is part of TAG or makes you more selective).

Preparation for the major

Courses that prepare students for a specific major at a specific school

Transfer Articulation Agreements are on the web for all UC and CSU campuses and majors! http://www.assist.org/

Engineering/Computer Science Programs – UC

• UC Berkeley • UC Davis • UC Irvine • UC Los Angeles • UC Merced • UC Riverside • UC San Diego • UC Santa Barbara • UC Santa Cruz

TAGs – www.sbcc.edu/TAG (all UCs but UCLA , UC Berkeley and UCSD). Complete TAG in September, and apply to UC in November. Students can only apply for one UC TAG agreement.

UCSB

College of Engineering Chemical Engineering B.S. Computer Engineering B.S. Computer Science B.S. Electrical Engineering B.S. Mechanical Engineering B.S.

College of Creative Studies: Computer Science Emphasis B.S.

TAG (complete in September): Guaranteed admission to UCSB 3.2 overall for fall 2014; 3.4 in major – will probably change in the near future

Too many Units: Fact or Fiction How long will it take to finish the degree at UCSB if all preparation is complete? It will take 2 years for mechanical assuming you take summer classes prior to entrance in fall. For most other majors 3 years is the average. You can get a head start by taking summer courses at UCSB.

Junior: 80 - 89 sem units

Senior: 90 or

more sem units

Notes & Follow Up Activies

Engineering Trends

There are approximately 1,478,000 engineering jobs in the United States.

Projected increase in environmental engineering jobs, chemical, civil, electrical and nuclear engineering.

Number of women in the field is increasing.

Engineering as a discipline is focused on diversifying its pool of applicants.

Projected increase in engineering opportunities as current engineers reach retirement age.

Engineering majors go on to professional schools of law, business, etc.
