wo undergraduate students of Aerospace Engineering Assistant Professor Kaela Martin, at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Prescott, Arizona Campus, have published research findings that will help interplanetary space mission designers more easily locate the relative positions of planets, moons and small bodies in the solar system at specific times in order to calculate optimum spacecraft trajectories. “We find ourselves among graduate students and Ph.Ds. who are genuinely interested in our work,” said Julia Mihaylov, who with classmate Renee Spear, are the co-authors on the published papers and conference presentations about the research. Since 2016, Martin has worked during summers with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory through JPL’s faculty fellowship program. Her work at JPL has presented challenging and rewarding opportunities for her College of Engineering students, including Spear and Mihaylov. Their American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics conference paper, entitled “Julia Language Ephemeris and Physical Constants Reader for Solar System Bodies,” was co-authored by Martin and JPL Mission Formulation Engineer Damon Landau. Julia Language is a high-level dynamic programming language used in computational science. Martin developed the ephemeris reader to translate the mathematic calculations of Julia Language into formulas
for spacecraft navigation, to help show the precise positions of naturally occurring astronomical objects and artificial satellites at any given time. “Working on the project with Dr. Martin has been an incredible opportunity,” said Spear. “Dr. Martin is always willing to answer questions and provide assistance, explore concepts with her research students, and help point them in the right direction.” “Julia and Renee have gained valuable experience writing papers and learning how to present the material to different audiences,” Martin said. “They have also learned a skill, coding in Julia, that they would have otherwise never learned in school.” Meanwhile, the two aerospace engineering undergraduates have been able to network with professionals and fellow researchers at JPL and at conferences. “The work is great hands-on industry experience,” said Mihaylov. “I have met and connected with countless industry professionals and scholars who are able to give their outlook and guidance on education and careers in engineering.”
Undergraduate Helps Prove the Effectiveness of New Biological Research Method EMBRY-RIDDLE PRESCOTT undergraduate student Courtney Turner-Rathbone has tested field research methods that demonstrate a cheaper, more efficient and less invasive way of identifying and assessing wildlife communities. The project involved drawing water samples out of the Verde River in Arizona’s central highlands and analyzing the DNA present in those samples using sophisticated sequencing methods. It represents the first research to come out of a collaboration between Embry-Riddle’s new Forensic Biology and Wildlife Science programs. Last summer, Dr. Hillary Eaton, Embry-Riddle forensic biology assistant professor and chair, approached Turner-Rathbone about becoming a research assistant on the biodiversity assessment project. It was the kind of opportunity, Eaton said, that at many institutions would only be available to a graduate student. For students like Turner-Rathbone who present their research, they “have the opportunity to travel and network with other professionals in the field,” said Eaton, “which opens doors to places of higher learning and employment, and sets them apart from everyone else at their level.”

MARK ALMANZA is a true MCCCD alum, having attended three of the Maricopa Community Colleges: Estrella Mountain Community College, Phoenix College, and Mesa Community College. Having graduated in May 2018 from Estrella Mountain with a degree in Photography, Mark is now attending UA and majoring in Photography after receiving a $3,000 Transfer Tuition Scholarship, and a University Grant for $5,150. He chose to complete his Associate’s Degree first because he “thinks that it makes the process just that much easier and less stressful.” He appreciated his time in the Maricopa system because he needed time to decide on a major and the Maricopa system helped him to do that. He chose the University of Arizona because he “heard that the photography program at the School of Art was incredible and that that the professors in the School of Art were really successful artists.” He feels now that one of the best things about UA is how open and caring the University is by offering great resources and wonderful faculty and staff to help their students.

Strategies for Undecided Students
H
aving a clear idea of the required courses for your degree program is critical to completing college in a time-efficient manner, which most college students set out to do. In addition to consulting academic and faculty advisors, using online resources like the college catalog, degree checksheets, and transfer guides will provide the information you need to stay on track toward your educational goals. But what if you don’t know what you want to study or which type of career to pursue? You don’t need to wait to start college until you have decided on a major. There are ways you can get off to a good start, even when you’re not quite sure where the road ahead will take you.
MARICOPA COMMUNITY COLLEGES • UNIVERSITY TRANSFER GUIDE • SPRING 2019
Use career services
8
Countless resources to help you explore your options are at your fingertips and right on your college campus. Each of the ten Maricopa Community Colleges offers career services to students. Some of the most helpful online resources provided by the colleges include: The Maricopa CareerLink delivers customized career planning guidance so you can set relevant academic and career goals that better allow you to plan for your future. You will be able to assess your personal career interests, skills and values, and explore occupations and major that could be a great fit for you.

Start with general education courses
Every college degree requires at least some general courses, which would apply to multiple majors; English, math, and science, for example. If you get started on these, and do research on career options in the meantime, you’ll buy yourself more time to consider your decision on a major. Important to keep in mind, though, is that specific general education courses may also be required for the major you eventually select. For example, nursing majors are required to take specific biology courses, so if they take astronomy or geology courses for science when they are undecided on their major, they will still need to take the required biology courses later. If you’re even considering a major or two (or three), share this information with your advisor so he or she can help you enroll in courses that count for one or more of the majors you are considering and will meet general education requirements.
Start with major specific courses
You may be thinking, “Didn’t I just read the opposite?”, but a different and equally wise strategy for undecided students is to jump into what really interests you. Starting with introductory level courses in majors
you are considering may actually help you start to narrow in on your interests, and help make you comfortable in your first semester or two of college. In addition, your instructors are great sources for learning about the career options you may have if you pursue a degree in the academic disciplines they teach. Faculty can also provide a glimpse into higher courses in the major, which may help you decide if you are interested enough in the field to pursue it further.
Mix it up a bit
It can also be beneficial, particularly for full-time students, to take a combination of major-specific and general courses. Once you decide on a major, there will be often be sequenced courses that cannot be taken in the same semester. If you take most or all of your general education courses early on, you may not be able to build a full-time schedule of major-specific courses later, since you can’t take all of them at the same time. Developing a one-to-two semester educational plan with an advisor, even if you don’t know your major, is possible and can help prevent delays in completing your degree.
Take a career exploration course
If you just don’t know where to start on your quest for a major, the structure
and support of a college course in career exploration or college success strategies is a great way to learn about resources available to you and receive professional guidance on using them. It also provides a set time for you to explore your interests and research careers--a task that may get set aside otherwise when you are busy with other classes. At the Maricopa Community Colleges, there are several courses you may want to consider. Check locations, dates, and times of these courses on my.maricopa.edu: • CPD102AB Career Exploration • CPD115/AAA115 Creating College Success • CPD150/AAA150 Strategies for College Success

Think about what you were good at in high school or skills for which you have received recognition in the past.
Jump into math

determine your starting level. Again, discuss possible majors with your advisor to find out if specific math courses are required. If several majors are being considered, take the high road by following the highest math sequence among the majors. You may end up having taken higher math than required, but that will serve you better than falling short and having to try to pick up where you left off when you go back to meet any additional requirements.
Follow your interests & build on your strengths
Keep your options open
If you want to play it safe and take courses that apply to a wide variety of majors, select courses like “Introduction to Literature” over courses like “Literature of Southern Wyoming” (not really a class, in case you were wondering…). This is also helpful to remember if you are considering transferring out of state—if you take courses offered at most colleges and universities, it is more likely that they will fit in somewhere on your degree plan and transfer to other institutions.
Get Good Grades
Don’t create a past that will come back to haunt you, when it comes to your grades. Someday, when you apply to a competitive bachelor’s degree program or graduate school, your chances for admission can be affected by poor grades in courses you didn’t take seriously enough. If you are having trouble with a class, go to tutoring, communicate with your instructor, and be aware of course
withdrawal and retake policies. Also, enroll in the number of courses you can complete successfully. A common mistake for new students is taking too many courses at once in an attempt to move through college quickly. As you progress in school, you can take a heavier course load or speed things up by taking summer or winter session courses when you know what is realistic for you.
Earn an associate’s degree
As an undecided student, you can still follow a degree plan at the Maricopa Community Colleges. If you plan to eventually transfer to a university to earn a bachelor’s degree, the Associate in Arts is a flexible degree that fulfills general studies requirements for Arizona’s public universities, along with many private, out-of-state, and online institutions. When you begin to consider specific majors, consult an advisor to find out if the Associate in Arts is still the best fit for you or if another type of degree, such as an Associate in Business, Associate in Science, or Associate in Applied Science, aligns best with your major requirements
and transfer goals. Earning an associate’s degree will formally recognize and celebrate your hard work, and can increase your marketability and earning power in the workplace. If you are going to transfer to a university to earn an additional degree, you will already be a college graduate while you continue to build on your success.
Think of “for now,” not forever
If you hold out on choosing a degree path until the perfect major comes along, you may just be in school forever. While finding a rewarding career is very important, sometimes, moving forward with your education and working in a related (or even somewhat related) position for a while is the only way to know if want to stay a career for years to come. It makes sense to need time to do research and try different things to help you make a decision, so don’t be too hard on yourself for being undecided on a major. At the same time, keep in mind that most people do not stay in the same job for their whole career. With every step you take toward a goal, you’ll gain information to help you make future decisions.
TAKE CREDIT FOR A SMART MOVE.
If you’re pursuing your college degree, transferring to Park University is a wise decision. For starters, it’s easy to transfer credits from other schools like Maricopa Community Colleges. Our experienced instructors and smaller classes make it easy to learn. And even though Park already offers affordable tuition, you can save even more with scholarships available right here in Gilbert. Visit park.edu to learn more.

A good thing about college is that there are a lot of choices. However, so many choices can be overwhelming. When choosing courses, it may not be apparent if or how the content will translate into your career. Part of the college experience is becoming a well-rounded, educated person, and what you learn may come in handy when you least expect it. Think about what you were good at in high school or skills for which you have received recognition in the past. What are you curious about? Some of the college courses offered may be surprising; for example, you may not see how learning about banned books, rock music, or earthquakes and other natural disasters relate to your future. If you are intrigued by a course, consider taking it! It might fulfill
a general education requirement (as do all three of the courses referred to above). It might help you with a current job or in your personal life. Ultimately, it may help you decide if you want to turn a strength or interest into a degree plan and career.

Profiles of Success: Matthew Nielsen
There’s a unique story behind each student’s educational goals. Whether you are inspired to pursue your passion, increase your future earning potential, or achieve what you once thought was impossible, it can be comforting to know of others who have gone down a similar path to realize their greatest achievements. Take Matthew Nielsen, who began his NAU journey as a freshman in 2006. After three semesters, he was compelled to join the U.S. Air Force’s security forces division and served six years of active duty, including deployments in Afghanistan and Qatar. Transitioning back into the civilian community and picking up his studies where he left off brought its own challenges. With experiences that extended far beyond the classroom, Matthew not only earned his bachelor’s degree in computer science in 2017—he also found his place at NAU and discovered opportunity in every direction.

PATTY’S inspiration to earn a college degree stems from her parents’ support. “My mother was not allowed to go to school when she was young, and was not able to finish her high school education until she was in her twenties. This was due to her parents’ belief that girls should not attend school, and their ‘place’ was to be at home. My father was only able to complete a sixth grade education; he stopped going to school and began working to provide for his family. These events led my mom to motivate me and make me believe that a college education was attainable and that I would one day graduate with a college degree and have a career that I love.” Patty attended South Mountain Community College. “My high school counselor told me about the possibility of going to a community college first and then transferring to a university. I would still be able to

obtain my bachelor’s degree in four years, along with getting an associate degree. My parents and I would be able to save money for those two years and lessen the chance of me having to take out student loans.” Patty took advantage of campus activities while taking classes at South Mountain Community College. She was secretary of Student Governance, a member of TRiO’s Students Transfer with Education Preparation (STEP) club, and a volunteer for Gabriel’s Pantry, “a campus pantry for students who might be struggling with food insecurity. It is designed to let students pick one item, once a day for free.” Her original major was history, and she wanted to be a teacher. But, like many students, her plans changed. “I realized that I wanted to help people, and after doing research, I decided that social work was the profession for me.” She enjoys the class sizes at
ASU. “My classes are small, and I feel that my instructors are always willing to answer any question I have.” Her advice to fellow transfer students is, “Find a way to get involved on campus. I have a student worker job, and it has helped me so much with making friends and learning about different events going on. Joining a club or organization would be great ways to get involved as well.” Patty is active with universitysponsored service opportunities, including Sparky’s Day of Service, Sparky’s Welcome Team and Devils in Disguise. “I love that there are always events going on. The volunteer opportunities available for students are also great and give the students a chance to meet other Sun Devils.” She graduated in May 2018 with a degree in social work and is currently pursuing a master’s degree from ASU.

Earning an associate’s degree that aligns with your academic and career goals will keep you on track toward earning your bachelor’s degree when you transfer to a university.

Associate in Business, General or Special Requirements (ABUS-GR, ABUS-SR)
The Associate in Business, General Requirements and Special Requirements degrees are designed for students who plan to transfer to Arizona’s public universities into a variety of business majors and for students who plan to complete lower division course work toward a bachelor’s degree program at other four-year colleges or universities. Generally, these degrees will transfer as a block without loss of credit to Arizona’s public universities and other institutions with district-wide articulation agreements.

In general, the components of the degree meet requirements for majors with more stringent mathematics and mathematicsbased science requirements. Generally, the degree will transfer as a block without loss of credit to Arizona’s public universities and other institutions with districtwide articulation agreements. The AGEC-S (Arizona General Education Curriculum – Science) is a component within the AS degree. • Minimum math requirement: MAT220 or 221 - Analytic Geometry & Calculus I • Students must meet science requirements with one of the following 8 credit course sequences: BIO181 and 182 - General Biology I and II OR CHM151/151LL and 152/152LL - General Chemistry I and II OR PHY121 and 131 (or 115 and 116) University Physics I and II • Includes a “subject options” requirement of 6 credits with a restricted list of science and math options • 60 credit minimum

However, general education courses are required (specific courses vary by degree). Although students planning to transfer are generally advised to pursue one of the AGEC-based degrees listed (e.g., AA, AS), AAS to BAS pathways are available to students, and much coursework within an AAS can be applicable to a bachelor’s degree program. Completing an AGEC is often recommended if students pursuing AAS degrees are considering transferring

The AGS allows students to select courses numbered 100 or above, transferable or not, to complete the degree. Therefore, this degree may be less appropriate for students who intend to transfer to a four-year college or university. When a specific major and/or transfer university is selected by an AGS student, it is usually advisable to consider alternate degree pathways more closely aligned with university requirements. • Minimum math requirement: MAT112 Mathematical Concepts and Applications • Unlike transfer degrees (AA, AS, ABUS, AAEE), one of the two required natural science courses does not require an accompanying lab • 60 credit minimum For a complete list of degree policies and requirements, refer to: curriculum. maricopa.edu/curriculum/degrees-certificates/search-programs/programs-byarea-of-interest Course information is based on the 201819 catalog year and is subject to change.
