  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

  4. Chabot Class Schedule Final GPA: 3.52

  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

  8. UC Berkeley Schedule GPA after summer 2010: 3.6

  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:
