Lower Division Engineering Advising
Students
All freshmen, transfer and early college students will be advised when they attend Orientation. During orientation, all students will also be take part in an engineering information session, group academic advising presentation and then a personal 1-on-1 advising session with an advisor. Depending on their math placement, students will be classified as:
Lower Division Engineering. Students enrolled in MATH 1508 or MATH 0311 are Lower Division Engineering majors and should go through the Engineering Edge Center for their advising needs.
Engineering Major. Students enrolled MATH 1411 are strongly encouraged to attend an Exit Workshop at the Engineering Edge Center within the first two weeks of the semester. The workshop will review college survival skills, create awareness of career-guiding activities and prepare the student to enter the department of their chosen major.
Advising
Students should always plan and prepare for their advising sessions regardless if they are Lower Division or in their departments. In general, advising occurs twice a year:
| Advising for Spring semester Summer semester Fall semester |
Starts in October March March |
Lower Division Engineering students in good-standing must follow these steps before registering for classes:
-
Attend an Engineering Information & Self-Discovery Workshop conducted by the Engineering Edge Center. Students enrolled in a Foundations of Engineering UNIV 1301 course will be presented to in class.
-
Schedule a 1-on-1 advising appointment with an advisor at the Engineering Edge Center.
- Attend the advising appointment and holds will be removed.
Students Exiting Lower Division or already in their Departments should visit their departments for the most up to date advising process:
- Civil Engineering
- Computer Science
- Electrical & Computer Engineering
- Engineering Education & Leadership
- Industrial, Manufacturing, & Systems Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Metallurgical, Materials & Biomedical Engineering
