For engineering you don’t want to follow igetc. Engineering students usually need less GE than other majors. I say usually because UCSD has the same GE requirements for engineering students. So if you complete igetc, you could be wasting a lot of time. The only GE classes you need to take before you transfer are the two intro writing courses, and a few other GE courses; I think they call it UC minimum eligibility (it was on the back of the igetc sheet at my school).

So I would complete all of the major courses and the minimum UC eligiblity courses. Also check the sites for each university to see what you need to be admitted. Sometimes you don’t need all of the courses on assist to be admitted, it just shows which major courses will transfer.
