Community College students should meet with a counselor as soon as possible to determine the equivalent courses offered at that institution. Students should complete as many as possible of the lower division requirements listed below, prior to transfer.
Lower Division Course Requirements | Community College Course Equivalents | |
| The BS - Engineering program offers students an opportunity for interdisciplinary engineering education not available through traditional single-discipline programs. The curriculum is designed to provide flexibility for students to meet their educational goals with emphasis on various options such as: engineering management, embedded systems, and engineering entrepreneurship. Courses listed below are required for all engineering students. Student's program of study should be prepared in consultation with major advisor. | ||
Preparation for the Major: | ||
| General Chemistry Equivalent Course | Chem 1A General Chemistry OR Chem 1B General Chemistry | |
| Note: SJSU requires completion of the Chemistry sequence for most majors, however this major only requires completion of one semester equivalent General Chemistry, in lieu of CHEM 1A. | ||
| MATH 030 Calculus I | Math 5A Analytical Geometry & Calculus | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 5B Analytical Geometry & Calculus | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | MATH 5C Analytical Geometry & Calculus | |
| MATH 129A Linear Algebra I | MATH 6 Introduction to Linear Algebra CONTENT CREDIT ONLY | |
| MATH 133A Ordinary Differential Equations | MATH 7 Introduction to Differential Equations CONTENT CREDIT ONLY | |
| Community College math courses articulated with SJSU's Math 129A or Math 133A will meet course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit. | ||
Physics Requirement: | ||
| Note: Students who begin their university experience as freshmen at San José State University will need to take the following Physics series: PHYSICS 70, and 71 (equivalent to PHYSICS 50, 51, 52) at San José State University. All transfer students will be expected to have completed the course equivalents to the Physics series listed below. | ||
| PHYS 050 General Physics/Mechanics | Phys 4A Physics for Scientists & Engineers | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | Phys 4B Physics for Scientists & Engineers | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | Phys 4C Physics for Scientists & Engineers | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
Engineering Requirements: | ||
| CE 099 Statics | Engr 35 Statics | |
| CMPE 046 Computer Engineering I | CS 19 C++ Programming | |
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | Engr 5 Engineering as a Profession AND Engr 10 Engineering Communication | |
| MATE 025 Introduction to Materials | Engr 45 Materials Science | |
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | Engr 15 Circuits | |
| ENGL 001B Composition 2 <em>A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable). English 1B is required of all Engineering majors.</em> | Engl 1B Composition and Literature OR Engl 1BMC Composition and Literature: Multicultural Emphasis OR Engl 2 Composition and Critical Thinking OR Engl 2MC Composition and Critical Thinking: Multicultural Emphasis | |
Lower Division General Education (39 semester or 58 quarter units) - some of the courses listed above may be approved for general education credit as well as major preparation at your institution. Please see your college counselor/advisor to review your general education in order to receive FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION PRIOR TO TRANSFER to San José State University. You may be required to take additional lower division general education courses if you do not provide SJSU WITH A FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION OF GENERAL EDUCATION upon transfer.
American Institutions Requirement (3-9 semester or 5-15 quarter units) - may be satisfied within the lower division general education requirements.
Physical Education Requirement (2 courses) - at least 2 different activities.
