1. Transferring from Chabot to UC Berkeley Robert Moore Nov 15, 2010

2. 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

3. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. Mechanical Engineering Curriculum All can be completed at Chabot College

9. Student Groups at CAL Super high Mileage Vehicle CalSol FSAE

10. FSAE at UC Berkeley Student ran group, from design to racing –Get hands on experience building a race car –Compete against other universities

11. 2011 Car Design

12. Designing 2011 Car Car is completely design in SolidWorks Finite Element Analysis performed on all components

13. Chassis fixture design Goal: design a fixture to aid in manufacturing the chassis, locate all pickup points and tubes Result:
