Chemical EngineeringBranch of engineering that
applies:◦Physics◦Chemistry◦Engineering
Someone said:◦A combination of mechanical
engineering and chemistry.. (by a professor)
What do we do?A lot:
◦Oil refinary i.e: minimize the energy loss in the distillation column
◦Process engineering Process design Process control
◦Biomedical devices◦Reserch
Chemical engineering research Biochemical engineering research
Before TransferStudied at Chabot College for 2 years,
starting in 2009.Intended to go for chemistry or CSDon’t feel like a scientist or programmerEnjoy taking math, chemistry and
engineering classes Participated engineering projectPrefer Chemical EngineeringVery enjoy my life at Chabot College!
Transfer ProcessUsually takes 3 yearsBut can be done in two
◦ Will miss some topics and have to take them in Cal
◦ i.e. thermo topic in physicsBest resources:
◦ www.assist.org◦ Mr.Mayer’s adviced transfer
pathNote for ENGR 25
◦ ENGR 25 + C++ = ENGR7 at Cal (ENGR 7=Matlab)
◦ Talked to the dean and fulfill reqirement by ENGR 25 only.
Transfer Process cont.Remember your application deadlineWrite your personal statement earlier
◦Good P.S. gives you higher chance to get accepted
◦Good P.S. gives you chances for scholarships◦Have your instructors review it, especially
ones who have that technical background.GPA is important for engineering transferActivities or accomplishment
◦Engineering Projects
Transfer Process cont.Suggestions:
◦Pay 200% attention in ENGR 25! Very important for engineers to know matlab well I’ve been using for almost all of my engineering
classes at Cal Useful to know: plotting, simulink, ODE45,matrix Try understand the contents in ENGR25
DO NOT just copy solutions and memorize solutions from previous exams.
◦Math and physics are the basis for Engineers General physics principles (Energy Bal., Mass Bal.) Linear algebra and D.E.
Transfer Process cont.Why UC
Berkeley?◦Undergrad. ChemE
program ranked 2nd
◦More research opportunities
◦Building up networking
◦Opportunity to meet rep. from big companies
Life at Cal for a ChemE
Study
Sleep Social
Chabot
Study
Sleep
Social
UCBerkeleyReally have to study hard otherwise you will be much behind the class.Too much social at Cal will kill your GPA. i.e.
ChemE Transsfer at CalCan do concentrations:
◦Chemical Processing◦Environmental Technology◦Material Science◦Applied Physical Science◦BioTech
Can choose joint major:◦ChemE and Material Science Engineering◦ChemE and Nuclear Engineering (isotope separation,
wast management and fusion reactor fuel processing) (see www.assist.org for further information) Useful link for chemE info at Cal:

ChemE Transsfer at Cal cont.
My first midterm of my first ChemE Class at CAL (ChemE-140) 10% of the class dropped or changed major after that semester
Avg Score = 34
ChemE Transsfer at Cal cont.Workload at Cal:
◦10 times Chabot’s◦Too much HW but not much time for it
i.e. Separation Process, use Excel, Matlab and tons of correlations to solve one problem, takes 5 hours, my maximum sleep time.
◦Exam is time sensitive Usually have to finish a 90 min exam in 50
min.◦Projects or researches require extra time
Course PACE is VERY Fast

The Pace at CAL is about 100% Faster than at Chabot
ChemE Transsfer at Cal cont.Tips on how to survive at Cal:
◦Time Management---Plan your schedule ahead!
◦Discussion group for homeworks Do the questions by yourself first Check with others later Otherwise will not understand the
problem, at least for me.◦Do more practice problems◦Talk to T.A. or professors
ChemE Transsfer at Cal cont.Tips cont. :
◦Don’t take too many units depending on the difficulty of your major
classes.◦Most important:
If you think you do right on your work, insist on your own conclusion, even your answer might be wrong compare to the solution manual! build up your confidence. build up your professional judgement skill on
engineering problems
ChemE Transsfer at Cal cont.Tips cont.:
◦ Do good in your 1st semester! Get high GPA in your 1st smester Will be able to apply for many internships
or research positions in the summer Companies usually recruit in the spring
Exception: Chevron and dow recruit in the fall Open up a gate to many opportunities
Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society
Take the Opportunities!There are many research opportunitiesHow?
◦Talk to the professor who teach you or whose group is doing the research topic that you are interested in. “My group is full, sorry”, usually they will say. Keep asking for a position
My research◦A EE research focus on simulation of a
microfluidic process in gravure printing technique (technique used in printing electronic devices)
Take the Opportunities! cont.
Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society (top 8% by GPA)◦ The oldest national engineering
honor society in the country, and one of the most nationally recognized societies. Provides: Scholarships Internship opportunity Industrial connection
◦ Select by invitation based on GPA Again, for transfer students, do good in
your 1st semester! For more information:

B. Mayer is also a Member of Tau Beta
Pi
Good Luck!Thank you for your time!
