What is a 'technical' course defined as? I'm a second year undergrad (BioEng) applying for some internships - just looking for clarification.

Anything that includes analytical and problem-solving skills, specifically with relation to mathematics and science courses.

As a BioE major, I would say anything included in your major. Introductory level mathematics classes, such as Calculus I/II, may not be technical courses, but if you don't have any other ones you've taken - use those. Something more advanced will suffice.

Looking at the UCLA Bioengineering program, I would say everything above 105 would be something you can mention if it's for recruiters, as being "technical"

Alright, I haven't taken any upper-divs (and will not till spring at earliest), would general chem/lab, ochem/lab, physics/lab be considered?

Yes, for now they will suffice. At this stage in your career, you can't put anything too advanced.

Is this for putting something on a resume?

I'm applying for a research internship (summer) that requests: list of technical courses and grades, resume and possibly a cover letter. And thank you for the help.

Ok, include all your math and science courses. They all all be relevant, even Physics I or Biology I.

They should just ask for a transcript. See if that's feasible to show, especially if you have a good GPA.

Yeah they're requesting that as well, so it's a bit weird. My GPA wasn't great during my first year (3.1), but there's a definite upward trend. (3.5 this past spring, and 3.8 during the fall)
