SJSU ARTICULATION AGREEMENT
Lower Division Requirements
Fall 2009 - Spring 2010

BS - Engineering - Mechanical Engineering

San José State University -to- Cypress 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

Preparation for the major:

General Chemistry Equivalent Transfer Course
(or CHEM 1A taken at SJSU)
Chem 111AC General Chemistry
   OR
Chem 111BC General 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 150AC Calculus I (*)
MATH 031 Calculus IIMath 150BC Calculus II (*)
MATH 032 Calculus IIIMath 250AC Multivariable Calculus
MATH 133A Ordinary Differential Equations
Community College math courses articulated with SJSU's Math 133A will meet course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit.
MATH 250BC Linear Algebra/Differential Eq. (*)
CONTENT CREDIT ONLY

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, 71 and 72 (equivalent to PHYSICS 50, 51, 52, 53) 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 221C General Physics
PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and MagnetismPhys 222C General Physics
PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and LightPhys 223C General Physics
PHYS 053 General Physics/Atomic Physics
NOTE: if there are no transfer equivalent for Physic 53 the transfer student will need to complete this requirement at SJSU.
No Current Equivalent
OR
PHYS 070 MechanicsNo Current Equivalent
PHYS 071 Electricity and MagnetismNo Current Equivalent
PHYS 072 Atomic PhysicsNo Current Equivalent

Engineering Requirements:

CE 099 StaticsEngr 201C Statics
ENGR 010 Introduction to EngineeringNo Current Equivalent
ME 020 Design and GraphicsEngT 104C Computer Aided Design
ME 030 Computer ApplicationsNo Current Equivalent
EE 098 Introduction to Circuit AnalysisEngr 210C Electrical Circuits
MATE 025 Introduction to MaterialsNo Current Equivalent
To qualify for a baccalaureate degree in Mechanical Engineering, a student must receive a grade of "C" or better in CE 99 and in all courses required for the program (Major and Technical Electives).

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).
Engl 102C Introduction to Literature
or
Second Semester English Composition Equivalent Transfer CourseENGL 103C Critical Reasoning & Writing
   OR
ENGL 104C Critical Analysis & Literature
   OR
ENGL 104HC Honors Critical Analysis & Literature
   OR
PHIL 172C Critical Thinking & Writing
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 Cypress College courses are approved for the following LDTP course descriptors shown on the right.
Math 150ACSingle Variable Calculus I
Math 150BCSingle Variable Calculus II
MATH 250BCOrdinary Differential Equations
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.
