Lower Division Course Requirements | Community College Course Equivalents | |
Preparation for the Major: | ||
| General Chemistry Equivalent Transfer Course (or CHEM 1A taken at SJSU) | Chem 101 General Chemistry I OR Chem 102 General Chemistry II | |
| 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 I | Math 261 Calculus I | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 262 Calculus II | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 263 Calculus III | |
| MATH 129A Linear Algebra I (CHEM 1B may be taken in place of MATH 129A) | MATH 270 Linear Algebra CONTENT CREDIT ONLY | |
| MATH 133A Ordinary Differential Equations Community College Math courses articulated with SJSU's Math 129A or 133A will meet the course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit. | MATH 275 Ordinary Differential Equations 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 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 | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | No Current Equivalent | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
Engineering Requirements: | ||
| CE 008 Plane Surveying | No Current Equivalent | |
| CE 099 Statics Students must earn a grade of "C-" or better in this course. | No Current Equivalent | |
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | No Current Equivalent | |
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | No Current Equivalent | |
| MATE 025 Introduction to Materials | No Current Equivalent | |
| CE 020 Engineering Graphics, CAD and Programming | No Current Equivalent | |
| OR | ||
| ME 020 Design and Graphics | No Current Equivalent | |
| And | ||
| ME 030 Computer Applications | No Current Equivalent | |
| Note: Courses articulated to both ME 020 and ME 030 would be used to satisfy CE 20. | ||
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 Course | ENGLISH 102 College Reading and Composition II OR ENGLISH 103 Composition and Critical Thinking OR PHILOS 5 Critical Thinking and Composition | |
| 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). | ||
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.
