DEGREES & CERTIFICATES

Engineering

The Associate in Science degree is designed to provide the foundation for subsequent transfer to a CSU or UC Engineering program. The core courses listed below fulfill most of the lower division requirements for the majority of CSU and UC engineering majors. The Associate in Science degree, as well as putting students on the path to transfer, ensures that students develop a strong foundation in engineering, mathematics, and the sciences.

Students should note that transfer-course requirements vary among universities, and between majors in the different branches of engineering. Students seeking to transfer with an engineering major are strongly advised to consult with Chabot Counseling. Counselors will assist the student with development of a Student Educational Plan (SEP) that prepares the student for transfer to the desired university in the engineering major of his/her choice. Students are also encouraged to consult the ASSIST webpage (www.assist.org) for more information on engineering tranfer-course agreements between Chabot College and the CSU/UC Colleges of Engineering.

*Bio Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Biomechanical Engineering majors should take Biology 2A.

†Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering majors should take Chemistry 1B.

‡Civil, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering majors should take Engineering 22.

§Engineering Science majors, and students interested in applied mathematics, should take Mathematics 4 and 6.

Students should note that General Education requirements vary significantly among CSU/UC Colleges of Engineering. In particular, most
CSU/UC Engineering programs discourage the use of the IGETC GE pattern in favor of program-specific courses. The GE courses listed above
satisfy many, but perhaps not all, of the GE requirements of a specific university engineering program. In these cases students complete any
remaining GE courses at the university after transfer.

The above listing is a suggested sequence only. Some courses may have prerequisites. Students may take courses in any sequence except where a prerequisite applies.
