Need some advice, please tell me your major and where you transferred and what its like transferring from a community college to a university as an engineering major. How much harder is it for you than for those who started at a university? Will you have to take an extra quarter or semester or something like that to make up for engineering classes which are not articulated at a lot of community colleges? Any information is appreciated. Thanks. Im transferring from golden west college to uc davis for mechanical engineering, so im going to have completed all the available classes, but obviously not the 15 units of no course articulated 
You may want to post your question in the UC Davis forum, where you’re more likely to get a current student to respond.
You can also view the sample 4 year schedule and the Mechanical Engineering Curriculum Map at the following link to get an idea of which classes you will need to take, in what order, and for how many quarters…

Unless you were fortunate enough to have attended a Community College that offered foundational engineering coursework, the answer is probably no. While it’s typically convenient to satisfy engineering math requirements at CC all the way up to Linear Algebra or Differential Equations, usually CCs do not offer Thermodynamics or Chemistry for Engineers or Materials. Thus, the latter courses must be taken at your STEM university.
Even if the CC provides some introductory to engineering course, it is not likely to graduate in 2 years after transfer. My D declared major in the second semester of freshmen in an engineering school and she has completed 70 credits (including almost all pre-req, humanities electives, and intro ENGR courses) before starting sophomore year, and yet she still needs a minimal of 2.5 years to graduate due to course sequence and senior project.
Thirty years ago, some of my Jr/Sr classmates were transfers got through in 2 years. But they did attended Community Colleges that offered foundation engineering coursework. Also, they were in NY CC programs designed for seamless transition into 4 year private schools.
You posted another thread about “no course articulated” in http://www.assist.org listings.
If that is the case, then you will probably transfer behind on your major courses, but possibly ahead on your general education courses. You need to go through your university’s degree requirements and try to construct a schedule starting with the “catch up” courses and seeing if you can get all of the degree requirements done in 6 quarters or 4 semesters, or if any extra quarters or semesters will be needed (be sure to pay attention to whether some courses are not offered every quarter or semester).
If, for example, you are transferring from Golden West to UC Davis, the articulation at http://www.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=GWC&ria=UCD&ia=GWC&oia=UCD&aay=15-16&ay=15-16&dora=ENG.MEC.B.S. indicates that you are missing PHYSICS 9D, ENGIN 4, 17, 35, 45, and ENG MEC 50 (total of 23 quarter units at UC Davis).
You will probably have to spend the first quarter after transfer taking four of these courses, followed by the two others in the second quarter (along with starting with two of the upper division courses. Since there are only four general education courses listed in the last two years in http://mae.ucdavis.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/EMEC-Map14151.pdf , one of which must be upper division (i.e. not fulfillable with community college courses), the most you can be ahead here is three courses, so the net is that you would be behind by at least three courses (-6 major courses, +3 general education at most). In this example, you should plan for at least 7 quarters after transfer unless you are willing to take overload schedules.
I transferred from a CC to Rutgers University. While you will most likely have to take a couple of classes that weren’t offered at your CC when you transfer, there are probably classes (tech electives) that you can take while you are at CC that will be accepted by the transfer school. Check with the transfer school to figure out what they are though, as they most likely won’t be requirements for your major at CC so it’s easy to overlook them.
As for the actual transition from CC to university, yeah it can be a real shocker (at least it was for me). I was an academic star when I was at CC, only to be humbled when I got to university. The professors will be a lot more demanding and they won’t be as “there for you”. I don’t mean that the profs at university don’t take time out to help their students, but it’s much harder and you are not likely to build that personal relationship with your professors like you could at CC, mainly because university profs might have a few hundred students as opposed to the usual 20-30 that CC profs have.
Another thing to look out for that doesn’t get talked about much: once you transfer and your credits are accepted by the university, your GPA is wiped clean and starts over. This can be troublesome because you will be going into difficult 3rd year classes and if you don’t do exceptionally well in them, well that’s your new GPA; you don’t have the GPA from your 1st and 2nd year classes to back you up like the non-transfer students have.
My advice to safeguard against that would be to not take all of your humanities at CC and save them for university GPA boosters. That is, if you don’t mind not getting the official A.S. degree from CC. You can still transfer either way.
Don’t let any of that scare you though. Post-transfer/3rd year is where things really open up and become interesting.
