<p>What is a ‘technical’ course defined as? I’m a second year undergrad (BioEng) applying for some internships - just looking for clarification.</p>
<p>Anything that includes analytical and problem-solving skills, specifically with relation to mathematics and science courses.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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”</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>Yes, for now they will suffice. At this stage in your career, you can’t put anything too advanced.</p>
<p>Is this for putting something on a resume?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Ok, include all your math and science courses. They all all be relevant, even Physics I or Biology I.</p>
<p>They should just ask for a transcript. See if that’s feasible to show, especially if you have a good GPA.</p>
<p>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)</p>
