Chabot Community College Guest Lecture PRESENTED BY: ISHMAEL AYESH, CIVIL, UC BERKELEY GARRICK BORNKAMP, MECHANICAL, UC DAVIS JOSE M. SERVANDA II, MECHANICAL, UC BERKELEY THEIN WIN, CIVIL, UC BERKELEY
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
