Advising

Students in MechE are encouraged to create an advising network!  Your academic advisor is there to help you, but it is usually worth while to seek out an expert when you have specific questions.   For urgent issues, please contact S^3 or Emma Dunn Santana as well as your academic advisor.  See Student Support Resources.

Advising resources:

  • Faculty Academic Advisor – for class selection, degree requirements, career/networking advice, UROP/research advice, academic issues and urgent student support needs
  • UROP supervisors – for research interests, graduate school, thesis topics, and career/networking advice
  • Instructors – for class selection or sometimes for UROP, grad school, or career advice
  • Undergraduate Office – degree audits, class selection, requirements, navigating beaurocracy, difficulty with coursework, student support, and where to go if you don’t know where to go.
  • Student Support Services – illness, crisis management, stress, student disabilities accommodations, personal or medical issues, general advice and support
