SPECIAL NOTES Courses with the * symbol may be satisfied with AP, IB or A-Level exams. See page 18 for more information. GESM#: GESM can be taken from GE categories: A, B, C, or D. Courses listed in the guide are options for a four-year course plan. GE: Engineering students are encouraged to satisfy GE-G and GE-H with a course that also satisfies a Core Literacy. GE-H may be satisfied by AP/IB. Additionally, your GESM course should be taken in categories A, B, C, or D only. See page 17 for more information and consult your advisor for detailed assistance. TECHNICAL ELECTIVES (6-8 units): Taken from ONE of the following three areas of specialization: Bioelectronics/Computers: (BME 201, BME 204, BME 426, BME 427, BME 430, BME 451, BME 453, CSCI 445, EE 109L, EE 209.
