  1. Engineering Fundamentals

  2. You know what engineers do. • You know what engineering is and why it is important. • But what do you need to do to become an engineer?

  3. The Lower Division Core • Physics • Calculus • Chemistry • Engineering Lower Division courses are courses taken primarily in the first two years of college.

  4. Physics Foundation • Physics 4A Engineering Physics – Mechanics • Physics 4B Engineering Physics – Electricity and Magnetism • Physics 4C Engineering Physics – Light and Heat • Physics 4D Engineering Physics – Atomic (and Modern Physics)

  5. Math Foundation • Math 3A Calculus I • Math 3B Calculus II • Math 4A Intermediate Calculus • Math 4B Differential Equations • Math 4C Differential Equations

  6. Prerequisites for Physics • Math 3A is required for Phys 4A • Math 3B and Phys 4A is required for Phys 4B • Math 3B and Phys 4A is required for Phys 4C • Phys 4B is required for Phys 4D

  7. Prerequisites for Math • Algebra II and Trigonometry is required for Math 3A • Math 3A is required for Math 3B • Math 3B is required for Math 4A • Math 3B is required for Math 4B • Math 4A is required for Math 4C

  8. Chemistry Foundation • Chem 1A General Chemistry • Chem 1B General Chemistry

  9. Prerequisites for Chemistry • Math C (Intermediate Algebra) is required for Chem 1A • Chem 1A is required for Chem 1B

  10. There is a linear sequence to math, chemistry, and physics courses. Math is used in all science courses because math is the language used for solving science problems.

  11. Engineering Foundation • Engr 10 Introduction to Engineering • Engr 23 Statics (Mechanics of static structures) • Engr 24(L) Intro to Circuit Analysis • Engr 25 Graphics • Engr 26 Materials • Engr 30 Computing (C++) for Engineers

  12. Prerequisites for Engineering • Math 3B and Physics 4A are required for Engr 23 • Math 3B and Physics 4B are required for Engr 24 • Chem 1A, Physics 4A, and Math 3B are required for Engr 26 • Note: A CIS course is an advisory for Engr30

  13. How will you succeed? • Commitment • Supportive Family • Positive peer pressure • An environment conducive to studying • Having self-advocacy skills • Figuring out when you need to take certain classes. • Others?

  14. Develop an Educational Plan for an engineering student at Mission College.Assume this student took Chemistry and Algebra II in HS and received a B or better in both.

  15. Wed. • Bring Mission College catalog and find catalog of 4-year college you wish to transfer to. Can use online catalog too. • Visit from MESA • Turn in homework (typed • Try using http://www.assist.org
