Revised: April 1, 2008

The discipline of computer science and engineering interacts with a number of other disciplines in a mutually beneficial way. These disciplines include Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, and Cognitive Science. The following is a list of upper division courses from other disciplines that can be counted as technical electives.

At most 4 units of CSE 197, 198 or 199 may be used toward technical elective requirements. CSE 195 cannot be used towards course requirements. Undergraduate students must get instructor's permission and departmental stamp to enroll in a graduate course. Students may not get duplicate credit for equivalent courses. The UCSD General Catalog should be consulted for equivalency information and any restrictions placed on the courses. Additional restrictions are noted below. Any deviation from this list must be petitioned.

Mathematics
All upper division courses except Math 168A-B, 179A-B,184A-B, Math 183 (computer engineering majors only), 189A-B, and 195-199.

Electrical and Computer Engineering
All ECE upper division courses except ECE 195-199. CSE 143 is equivalent to ECE 165. Students may not receive credit for both CSE 123A or ECE 158A. Credit will be given for only one of the following: ECE 109 or Math. 183 or Econ. 120A.

Cognitive Science

Students may not get credit for both CSE 150 and Neural Network Models of Cognition 108C, or for both CSE 151 and Artificial Intelligence Modeling II 182.

Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering
All upper division MAE courses except MAE 140 (ONLY computer science majors may take MAE 140) and MAE 195-199. Students may receive elective credit for only one of the following courses: CSE 164A, Math 174, Math 173, Physics 105A-B, CENG 153, MAE 107. Students may only get credit for one of the following two courses: CSE 167, or AMES 152.

Economics

Engineering
For students admitted prior to Fall 2006: ENG 100 and ENG 100L counts towards CSE Technical Elective credit and a petition is not required. Team Engineering 101. Principles of Team Engineering 100 (2units) and Team Engineering Laboratory 100L (2 units). The combination of ENG 100 and ENG 100L for 1 technical elective. ENG 100L can be repeated two times to equal one more technical elective.

Engineering Revision
For students admitted Fall 2006: ENG 100 and ENG 100L counts toward CSE Technical Elective credit and a petition is not required. Principles of Team Engineering 100 (2units) and Team Engineering Laboratory 100L (2 units). The combination of ENG 100 (2 units), ENG 100L (2 units) and ENG 100L (2 units) - total of 6 units will equal to 1 technical elective. If you complete ENG 100L for 2 more units you will receive credit for 2 technical electives. If you do not complete 6 units of ENG 100L you will not receive credit for 2 technical electives.

Music
Programming for Musical Applications 172 (formerly 161), Mixing and Editing 173 (formerly 162). You must complete the prerequisites for these courses. Music 172 requires Music 171. Music 173 requires Music 170. Contact Eileen Voreades at evoreades@ucd.edu, Undergraduate Advisor in the Music Department,for permission to enroll. The Music Department is located in the Mandeville Building, room 110.
