Lower Division Requirements
Fall 2009 - Spring 2010

BS - Engineering - General Engineering

San José State University -to- Cuesta College

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, bioengineering, 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 Transfer Course
(or CHEM 1A taken at SJSU)
Chem 201A General College Chemistry
   OR
Chem 201B General College Chemistry
Note: SJSU requires completion of the Chemistry sequence for most majors, however this major only allows completion of one semester equivalent General Chemistry, in lieu of CHEM 1A.
MATH 030 Calculus IMath 265A Analytical Geometry & Calculus (*)
MATH 031 Calculus IIMath 265B Analytical Geometry & Calculus (*)
MATH 032 Calculus IIIMath 283 Calculus
MATH 129A Linear Algebra INo Current Equivalent
MATH 133A Ordinary Differential EquationsMATH 287 Linear Analysis (*)
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/MechanicsPHYS 208A Principles of Physics
PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and MagnetismPHYS 208B Principles of Physics
PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and LightPHYS 208C Modern Physics
OR
PHYS 070 MechanicsNo Current Equivalent
PHYS 071 Electricity and MagnetismNo Current Equivalent

Engineering Requirements:

CE 099 StaticsEngr 250 Engineering Statics
CMPE 046 Computer Engineering ICIS 231 Fundamentals of Computer Science 1 (*)
ENGR 010 Introduction to EngineeringNo Current Equivalent
MATE 025 Introduction to MaterialsEngr 246 Materials Engineering
   AND
Engr 246L Materials Engineering Lab
EE 098 Introduction to Circuit AnalysisNo Current Equivalent

All students must satisfy the following prerequisite (or equivalent) prior to registering for the WST and 100W courses at SJSU {Academic Senate policy S05-8}:

ENGL 001B Composition 2
A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable).
No Current Equivalent
or
Second Semester English Composition Equivalent Transfer CourseENGL 201C English Composition: Critical Thinking
A course articulated to SJSU's English 1B is recommended, however any course approved for the IGETC second semester composition area would be accepted to meet this requirement (a grade of "C" or better is required).

LDTP Approved Courses (*)

The following Cuesta College courses are approved for the following LDTP course descriptors shown on the right.
Math 265ASingle Variable Calculus I
Math 265BSingle Variable Calculus II
MATH 287Differential Equations and Linear Algebra
CIS 231Programming Concepts and Methodology I
LDTP courses are acceptable "in lieu of" each other.
LDTP courses are not necessarily "equivalent" or "identical" in content.


Additional Graduation Requirements

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.
