Notes
* A minimum of 120 units is required for graduation.
1CHEM 4A is for students majoring in chemistry or a closely related field. CHEM 1A and 1AL, or CHEM 4A are prerequisites for BIOLOGY 1A.
2Engineering breadth: 9 units must be completed from the following list BIOENG 10, 102; CIVENG C30/MEC ENG C85; CIV ENG 11, 60, 70, 126, 132, 155; DESINV 15; EECS 16A, 16B; ENGIN 11, 26, 29, 40; MATSCI 45, 45L, 111; MECENG 40, 126, 132.
3The Humanities/Social Sciences (H/SS) requirement includes two approved Reading & Composition (R&C) courses and four additional approved courses, with which a number of specific conditions must be satisfied. R&C courses must be taken for a letter grade (C- or better required). The first half (R&C Part A) must be completed by the end of the freshman year; the second half (R&C Part 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 coesandbox.berkeley.edu/hss for complete details and a list of approved courses.
4Students must acquire fluent programming skills as demonstrated by completion of coursework in a high-level language such as Python, C, C++ or Java. This requirement may be completed by taking COMPSCI 61A or COMPSCI C8 or equivalent. The COMPSCI 9xx series self-paced courses at UC Berkeley are intended for those already skilled as programmers in a high-level language to learn a second language and thus are not appropriate for meeting this requirement. Junior transfer admits who have completed a programming course of 3 units or more in Python, C, C++, or Java have fulfilled this requirement.
5INDENG 172 is an alternative course for STAT 134 or STAT C140/DATA C140. In semesters when INDENG 172 is offered, it is recommended that students take INDENG 172 instead of STAT 134 or C140/DATA C140. Students will receive unit credit for only one of these courses.
6Students must take a minimum of six courses from the list below:
- INDENG 115 – Industrial and Commercial Data Systems
- INDENG 130 – Methods of Manufacturing Improvement
- INDENG 142 – Introduction to Machine Learning and Data Analytics
- INDENG 145 – Fundamentals of Revenue Management
- INDENG 150 – Production Systems Analysis
- INDENG 151 – Service Operations Design and Analysis
- INDENG 153 – Logistics Network Design and Supply Chain Management
- INDENG 164 – Introduction to Optimization Modeling
- INDENG 166 – Decision Analysis
- INDENG 169 – Integer Optimization
- INDENG 170 – Industrial Design and Human Factors
- INDENG 171 – Technology Firm Leadership
7Students must take one course with ethics content. This may be fulfilled within the Humanities/Social Sciences requirement by taking one of the following courses: BIOENG 100; DATA C104; ENERES C100; ENGIN 125, 157AC; HISTORY C184D; IAS 157AC; PUB POL C184, W184; STS C104D; UGBA 107.
8Free electives can be any technical or non-technical course, a course of your interest offered by any department; there are no restrictions. Free electives may be necessary in order to obtain the minimum 120 units for graduation.
