Engineering Edge Center
Welcome to the UTEP Engineering Edge Center.
We are here to provide support for students so that you may reach your academic and professional goals.
UTEP Edge Experiences are promoted in the EEC at all levels within the College of Engineering.
Incoming freshmen and transfer students that have not taken or passed Calculus 1 (MATH 1411) join Engineering as a Lower Division student. Lower Division students have an assigned academic advisor in the EEC. Check out the list of Lower Division advisors here.
When you take or pass Calculus 1 (MATH 1411) you transition to the department of your major. Once you are part of your major department, you also change advisors. Advisors associated with specific departments can also be found on the list below.
We are here to help you any way we can. If you’re not sure who to contact, want to know about potential opportunities, or more about Edge Experiences please reach out to departmental representatives, advisors or staff in the EEC, or me directly!
