Hello Mark,

My name is Greg Watkins and I’m Chair of the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing at Chico State University. I received your contact information from Charlie Pooler, a lecturer in my department.

I’m reaching out to let you know that Chico State has a new BS program in Advanced Manufacturing and Applied Robotics. The new program replaces the BS in Sustainable Manufacturing. We are accepting freshmen and transfer students into the new program starting this fall. You can learn a bit more about the program at the following link. I’ve also attached a curriculum flow chart.

I would be most appreciative if you could share this with your contacts at Bay Area community colleges. I am hoping to reach students who may be interested in transferring to Chico State this fall. By the way, the Fall 2021 Priority Application Deadline has been extended to January 15, 2021. Students can apply to the program at this link:

I am glad to Zoom meet and answer any questions you may have about the program. I’m also glad to Zoom meet with prospective students (and parents) that may be interested in learning more about Advanced Manufacturing and Applied Robotics at Chico State, so feel free to share my contact information. Thank you.

Regards,

Greg Watkins
