Why Engineering?• Grew up around cars, always fascinated
with anything with an engine
• Became interested in metal fabrication
• Graduated from James Logan in 2002
• Took welding and machining classes in high school and at Chabot, as well as GE
• Started at Math 55 at Chabot
• Went to work as a machinist for 2 years

Path to Transferring• Decided to go back to school to pursue
Engineering
• Started back at Chabot full time in Fall 2006
• Worked ~20 hours / week while going to school
• Took 3 years to complete coursework at Chabot

Advice for Students
• Work to learn all you can in your math classes, math is essential in all future classes
• Take advantage of the help offered by professors
• Master study skills while at Chabot
• Become skilled in Matlab

Differences between Chabot and Cal• Pace at Cal is twice as fast as Chabot
• Large Classes
• Test are harder and very time sensitive
Biggest Surprises:
• Not everyone at Cal is a genius
• A student that started at Cal doesn’t have an advantage
