A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

- Description
- The components of the information age—global communication systems; computers and computer chips and the software that runs them; as well as pacemakers, magnetic resonance imaging, and interplanetary space missions—are possible because of the efforts of electrical engineers. Today, electrical engineers are developing concepts and working to translate these ideas into the next generation of products: from computers and safe, energy-efficient vehicles; to radar that can detect unexploded land mines from the air; to microrobots that diagnose disease from inside the body.
