Why Engineering?• Grew up going to construction sites and
was interested in civil systems.• Initially wanted to be garbage man or
nurse.• Became interested in
water quality and resources. • Graduated from Hayward
High School in 2008

Path to Transferring• Decided that Chabot College was the best
option for me to become a civil engineer.• Started at Chabot full time in Fall 2008.• Trained for swimming ~20 hours / week
while going to school.• Took 3 years to complete
coursework at Chabot.

Advice for Students• Your math classes are the foundation for
your engineering education. • Take advantage of the help offered by
professors and the Math Lab.• Master time management and
organizational skills at Chabot.• Pay attention in ENGR 25!

Differences between Chabot and Cal
• Pace at Cal is twice as fast as Chabot.• A lot more people in your major.• Coursework and tests are harder. Midterms
are very time sensitiveBiggest Surprises:• Not everyone at Cal is a genius.• Having to stay up late and not sleep much.
