Program Overview
The EECS/NE double major combines the traditional EE program with one in the nuclear sciences. Nuclear Engineering shares with EE a concern for electrical power generation, automatic control, computer sciences and plasmas. The Faculty Advisors for this program are Professors Michael Lustig for EECS and Joonhong Ahn for NE.

Notes
1Chemistry 4A is intended for students majoring in chemistry or a closely related field.
2The Humanities/Social Science (H/SS) requirement includes two approved reading and composition courses and four additional approved courses, with which a number of specific conditions must be satisfied. Reading and Composition “A” and “B” must be completed by no later than the end of the sophomore year. The remaining courses may be taken at any time during the program. See coe.berkeley.edu/hssreq for complete details and a list of approved courses.
Students must take one course with ethics content. This may be fulfilled within the Humanities/Social Studies Requirement by taking one of the following courses: Anthropology 156B; BioE 100; Engineering 125; Environmental Science, Policy, and Management 161, 162; Geography 31; Interdisciplinary Studies 61, 100E; International and Area Studies 105; Legal Studies 19AC, 100A; Letters and Science 160B; ME 191AC; Philosophy 2, 104, 107; Political Science 108A; *Public Health 116 (if taken prior to Fall 2016); Sociology 116, 123. *Note: Courses must be at least 3 semester units in order to fulfill a Humanities/Social Science requirement.
3Junior Transfer Admits are exempt from completing NE 92
4Technical Electives include:
At least 9 units of upper-division nuclear engineering courses from the following groups. The groups are presented to aid undergraduate students in focusing their choices on specific professional goals, however, the electives selected need not be from any single group. Courses listed from other departments in these groups may be taken to provide further depth but may not be used toward the 9 units.
- Beam and Accelerator Applications: Physics 110A/B, 129 A/B, 139, 142; NE 155, 180
- Bionuclear Engineering: BioE C165; EE 120 (EE 20N is a prerequisite for this course), 145B; NE 107, 162
- Fission Power Engineering: ME 106, 109 (Chem E 150A may be substituted for ME 106 and 109); NE 120, 124, 155, 161, 167, 175
- Fusion Power Engineering: Physics 110A/B, 142; NE 120, 180, 155
- Homeland Security and Nonproliferation: Chemistry 143, Physics 110A/B, 111, NE 107, 130, 155, 175
- Materials in Nuclear Technology: MSE 102, 104, 112, 113; NE 120, 124, 155, 161
