The Technical Breadth Requirement (TBR) is a new requirement for
all engineering majors effective the 2006 catalog and thereafter.

Students in catalog 2006 and thereafter are required to satisfy the
Technical Breadth Requirement (12 units).  The TBR are three courses
from an approved area outside your major department.  Courses selected
can not be used to satisfy other major requirements.  To view the approved list, please click on the following link and select "Summary of Areas": http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/current/technical_breadth.html

Please note there is no mixing and matching within the approved areas.  Students who wish to do so may file a petition for consideration at 6426 BH, however filing a petition does not guarantee approval.

The Technical Breadth Requirement is a different requirement from the
Science and Technology Electives required for Com Sci Majors:
