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 Course | Chem 101A General College Chemistry OR Chem 101B General College Chemistry OR Chem 103A General Chemistry for Engineering | |
| 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 110A Calculus I | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 110B Calculus II | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 110C Calculus III | |
| MATH 133A Ordinary Differential Equations <i>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.</i> | Math 125 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, 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/Mechanics | Phyc 4A Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4AL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | Phyc 4B Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4BL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | Phyc 4C Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4D Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4CL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4DL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers | |
| PHYS 053 General Physics/Atomic Physics NOTE: if there is no transfer equivalent for Physics 53 the transfer student will need to complete this requirement at SJSU. | No Current Equivalent | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 072 Atomic Physics | No Current Equivalent | |
Engineering Requirements: | ||
| CE 099 Statics | Engn 36 Engineering Mechanics - Statics | |
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | Engn 10A Introduction to Engineering: The Profession AND Engn 10B Introduction to Engineering: Software Tools and Design | |
| ME 020 Design and Graphics | Engn 24 Design Graphics | |
| ME 030 Computer Applications | Engn 38 Introduction to Computing for Engineers | |
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | Engn 20 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | |
| MATE 025 Introduction to Materials | Engn 45 Materials Science | |
| ENGL 001B Composition 2 A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable). <i>English 1B is required for all Engineering majors.</i> | Engl 1B Reading, Writing and Critical Thinking | |
To qualify for a baccalaureate degree in Aerospace Engineering, a student must receive a grade of C- or better in all courses required for the program (Major and Technical Electives). | ||
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.
