Can research and pre-candidacy credits be considered as a “technical course” requirement?
No. Examples of technical courses include related departmental ELEG / CPEG credit courses, foundation courses, associated Math / Physics & Science credit coursework at a graduate program level (600 or above) that are taken for credit (no auditing). In some cases, special problem coursework can be considered. This type of coursework credit requires discussion with and approval from the student’s research advisor. A titling form would need to be submitted to illustrate the specific details of the coursework on the transcript.
