Garrick Bornkamp

Chabot College (Spring 2003 –Spring 2005) Co-Founder and Former Treasurer of EaC

Transferred to UC Davis in Mechanical Engineering (Fall 2005 – March 2008)

Interned with Lockheed Martin in Summer 2006 Not an engineering internship however. Still a good experience.

Thein Win

Chabot: Fall 2002 – Spring 2005Berkeley: Fall 2005 – Fall 2007 Focus: Civil Engineering and Project

ManagementInvolved in UC PRC (Pavement Research Center)

Quiet Pavement Studies with CALTRANS Noise effects on Neighborhood from Rigid (Concrete) and

Flexible (Asphalt ) Pavement

Tasks

From Chabot to the UCs

At Chabot Establish a network of engineer colleagues

Join Engineering at Chabot (EaC) Get to know your fellow engineering classmates

Create study groups Get to know your professors at office hours

Utilize your Resources available to you Use the Math Lab and Tutoring Centers Attend personal statement workshops Schedule an appointment to have resume reviewed the

career center (for internships)

From Chabot to the UCs

At the UCs A new environment - adapt quickly!

Build a network Join a club Make new friends, but keep in touch with Chabot

friends Meet your professors

Find out what’s available to students

Utilize resources available to you Make frequent appointments with counselors and

advisors Create or join study Groups

Advanced Engineering Courses

ME: Statics, Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Vibrations,

Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Mechanics of Materials, Properties of Materials, Nanotechnology, Combustion...

CE: Structure Design: Reinforced Concrete, Wood, and Steel Geotech: Rock Mechanics, Seepage, and Foundations Environmental: Air & Water Quality, Hydrology Transportation: Facility & System Transportation and

Materials…..

ME Projects at UC Berkeley

Stunna Shades Automatic Car Shades Went from an idea to an

actual prototype

Kinetic Toothbrush Automatic toothbrush powered

by Electromagnetic Induction Kinetic energy in brushing is

converted into electrical energy

ME Projects at UC Davis

EME 50 Manufacturing Processes – A hands on class in designing and manufacturing open ended projects.

Project 1 – Totem Pole Piece.

Project 2 – Gyroscope.Both Projects designed

using Solid Edge and constructed in lab using the mill, lathe, and drill press.

Internships & Co-Ops

Valuable first hand experience Learn the tricks for the trade Some education is outside of the textbook

Allows you to explore a career path Find which specific part of engineering is for you

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Devices

W. L. Gore & Associates

KIEWIT San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (East Span Construction)

Schaefer Ranch Project

What’s After a BSCE/BSME

Start your career Obtain an entry level engineering position

Go back to school in the future

Pursue a graduate degree Masters in or outside of engineering PHD

Work at the forefront of technology Invent the next big thing!

Conclusion

Take Home Points Build a Network Utilize your resources at Chabot/UC Study, Study, and oh more Studying

Other Advice Master time management skills Learn as much as your can about your major,

requirements, courses, and desired school of transfer Speak with employers
