It is recommended to avoid GE courses that count towards the Science and Engineering (SE) Topical Breadth category and Quantitative Literacy (QL) Core Literacy category because the CS/CSE majors complete 20 units for that section with major courses (ECS 36ABC, 20, 50, MAT 21ABC, etc).
You are responsible for seeing that all of your degree requirements are fulfilled. The following College of Engineering Graduation Requirement Self-Check will help you ensure that all requirements are met.
