Course-by-course articulation

Also listed in this agreement

ASSIST lists these Foothill College courses under this major without naming a single Cal Poly San Luis Obispo course they map to — usually because they sit inside a “choose from the following” group. They are part of the agreement, so treat them as in scope and check the exact grouping on ASSIST.

• MATH 1B + MATH 1A
• MATH 1A + MATH 1B + MATH 1C
• PHYS 4A + PHYS 4C + PHYS 4B
• ENGR 37L + ENGR 37
• CHEM 1A + CHEM 1B
• MATH 1A + MATH 1B + MATH 1D + MATH 1C

Verify this list on ASSIST.org before you register: choose Foothill College as your sending institution, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo as the receiving institution, and Mechanical Engineering as the major. ASSIST is the only official source, and agreements change between catalog years.
