OUTLINE • About Me • Chabot College • Transferring • University of California, Davis • Senior Design Project • Engineering Experience • Advice
ABOUT ME • Grew up in Oakland, CA • Graduated Arroyo High School in 2003 • Decided To Pursue Engineering in 2006 • Employment: 99 Cent Store, Insurance Co., Payphone Co. • Transferred from Chabot to UC Davis in 2009 • Graduated in 2011 with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
WHAT GOT ME INTERESTED? • I got Mail. • Mechanical, Civil, Electrical? • Taking THIS, ENGR10 course sparked my interest • The thought of enriching peoples lives
CHABOT COLLEGE • ENGR 10,22,25,36,43,45 • PHYSICS 4 (A,B,C) • MATH 1,2,3,4,6 • Toughest class is ENGR 25 • Worked at Pacific Telemanagement Services (Payphones)
TRANSFER EXPERIENCE • Lived at an apartment, through student housing • Biked to school everyday • Friendly Environment • Great Campus
CHABOT VS. UC DAVIS Same Intense Engineering Courses UC Davis has TA’s Huge Campus FOOD!!!
UC DAVIS • Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering • Lower Division • Manufacturing Processes • Upper Division • Dynamics • Thermodynamics • Fluid-Mechanics • Professional Responsibilities • Mechanics of Materials • Control Systems • Thermo-Fluid Mechanics • Experimental Methods • Heat Transfer • Mechanical Design • Sim and Des of Mech. Systems • Electronic Systems (Electrical, Computer, Agricultural, Civil, Mechanical, BioMedical, BioSystems)
STUDY ABROAD IN SPAIN Spanish Art (Burgos, Spain) Learn about the buildings and paintings Lots to see (Madrid, Salamanca, San Sebastian) Great Experience!!!
SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT Purpose Our team was to come up with a pill dispensing prototype for the elderly that may not cohere to their complicated medication schedule. Specifications • 6 different medications • Child-safe • One week supply • Sized for counter top • User Programmable • Powered from standard outlet • Audio and Visual Alarm
