ASSIST lists these De Anza College courses under this major without naming a single UC Santa Cruz course they map to — usually because they sit inside a “choose from the following” group. They are part of the agreement, so treat them as in scope and check the exact grouping on ASSIST.
PHYS 4CPHYS 4APHYS 4BVerify this list on ASSIST.org before you register: choose De Anza College as your sending institution, UC Santa Cruz as the receiving institution, and Computer Engineering as the major. ASSIST is the only official source, and agreements change between catalog years.
