Guidelines for Concentrations

1. Concentrations must include at least 60 units.
2. All concentration subjects must be letter graded.
3. No concentration subject may also be counted as a GIR.
4. UROPs are not allowed in the concentration; however, students may include a 12 unit thesis, 2.ThU.
5. Basic math and science subjects may be included only if they are prerequisite to a higher level engineering subject in the concentration; otherwise, such subjects should be taken as unrestricted electives.
6. The concentration must include at least 51 units of engineering topics; this content should be reviewed with the 2-A Coordinator.
7. Freshman-level subjects, such as 2.00A or 2.00B, may not be included.
8. Each concentration subject must have an obvious relationship to the overall theme of the concentration.
