Image Description:

This image is a flowchart entitled: “Sample 4 Year Plan — Solid State / MEMS – Electrical Engineering B.S.” It is presented on a white background with white text in boxes of gray, blue, green, orange, and purple. The gray boxes indicate the title. The blue boxes indicate various Electrical and Computer department classes. The green boxes indicate various math and physics classes. Orange boxes indicate Computer Science Classes. Purple boxes indicate Breadth Electives. The title is white text on a gray box background. Below the title there is a flowchart consisting of four vertical sections, one section for each year of school, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4. Each year of school is divided into two columns, one column for Fall and a column for Spring. Fall and Spring columns consist of classes for those semesters.
