Topics For Discussion Individual Introductions Transition From Chabot to UC Advanced Engineering Courses Internships/Co-Ops Future Perspective

Jose M. Servanda II Arrived at Chabot Fall 2002  Co-founder and former president of EaC Transferred to UC Berkeley in Fall 2005 Interned with W. L Gore & Associates’ Medical Division in 2006  Conducted time studies  Performed IQ/OQ/PQ on various equipment Graduated Spring 2007

Ishmael Ayesh Chabot College (Fall 2001 –Spring 2005) Transferred to UCBerkeley in Civil &Environmental Engineering (Fall 2005 – Spring 2007)  Internship with Kiewit Pacific Co.  New East Span of the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge  Highway 1: Devil’s Slide Tunnel Project

Garrick Bornkamp Chabot College (Spring 2003 –Spring 2005)  Co-Founder and Former Treasurer of EaC Transferred to UC Davis in Mechanical Engineering (Fall 2005 – March 2008)  Interned with Lockheed Martin in Summer 2006  Not an engineering internship however.  Still a good experience.

Thein Win Chabot: Fall 2002 – Spring 2005 Berkeley: Fall 2005 – Fall 2007 Focus: Civil Engineering and Project Management Involved in UC PRC (Pavement Research Center)  Quiet Pavement Studies with CALTRANS  Noise effects on Neighborhood from Rigid (Concrete) and Flexible (Asphalt ) Pavement Internship at Kiewit Pacific Co.  Schaefer Ranch Project, Dublin, CA (on I-580)  (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

Advanced Engineering Courses ME:  Statics, Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Vibrations, Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Mechanics of Materials, Properties of Materials, Nanotechnology, Combustion... CE:  Structure Design: Reinforced Concrete, Wood, and Steel  Geotech: Rock Mechanics, Seepage, and Foundations  Environmental: Air & Water Quality, Hydrology  Transportation: Facility & System Transportation and Design  Construction: Project Management, Concrete Materials…..

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
