Faculty Advisors, Professional Advisors and Academic Support

Advising in the School of Engineering is mandatory for every student, every semester. Academic advising in the School of Engineering is done jointly by trained professional staff and faculty advisors. Typically, first-and second-year students are assigned to a professional staff advisor in order to assist students in their transition to college, aid students in navigating the University, and collaborate in course selection and academic planning. Faculty advisors typically meet with engineering students with junior or senior standing in order to assist students in their course selection, counsel them in meeting their educational and career goals, and provide discipline-specific mentorship.

Faculty advisors and professional staff advisors are assigned to students entering the School of Engineering according to the student’s major. The School of Advising Team Engineering provides additional content-specific academic support via the Engineering Tutoring Center. The Engineering Tutoring Center is staffed by undergraduate engineering students and provides 40+ hours of weekly tutoring to all students on a drop-in basis.
