Technical Elective List

Technical Electives

Technical electives permit you to tailor a program to your own academic and career objectives. For some, the technical electives offer the opportunity to prepare for a specific occupation. For others, they offer an opportunity to broaden a background in the sciences and engineering. You may receive technical elective credit up to a maximum of 6 units for any combination of engineering courses numbered 190C, 192, 198, and 199. (You should note that academic credit for 199 courses is limited to a maximum of 5 units for each substantially different project). Academic credit for engineering internship courses (192s) is limited to a maximum of 5 units per quarter. (Individual departments may allow fewer units.) With the exception of the following courses, upper-division courses in chemistry, engineering, mathematics, physics, and statistics may be taken as technical electives.
