Transferring from Chabot to UC Berkeley
Robert MooreNov 15, 2010
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
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

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
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
Mechanical Engineering Curriculum
All can be completed at Chabot College

Student Groups at CAL• Super high Mileage
Vehicle
• CalSol
• FSAE
FSAE at UC Berkeley• Student ran group, from design to racing
– Get hands on experience building a race car– Compete against other universities
2011 Car Design
Designing 2011 Car• Car is completely design in SolidWorks• Finite Element Analysis performed on all
components
Chassis fixture design• Goal: design a fixture to aid in manufacturing the
chassis, locate all pickup points and tubes
